And Mose will probably get another season because of the injury excuse.

Yall’s luck is too bad to be saying this shit out loud.

Things could get very bleak if Paolo can’t end the season on enough of a heater to entice a trade. Because Paolo shifting down into some kind of nebulous reduced role becomes massively less appealing when he’s earning superstar money, and after the lack of improvement this year, it’s hard to imagine him ever actually being worth that money

We don’t need to be shortening the names of Anthony black level players

Do magic fans support trading Banchero and building arounf Franz/AB at this point? With returns from the trade that could look pretty promising.

Yall need to fire your medical staff, and maybe your HC too.

The only positive takeaway from this season is AB’s improvement

this guy is not even close to a big enough player to shorten his name to initials like that and expect people to know who you are talking about.. I had to google him. For those wondering, it’s Anthony Black. You aren’t in your team sub, you should use the whole name.

Do u guys have the cap to resign him?

“Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Magic The Injured?”

Me: “Hey the Magic should be pretty good this year, I like the Bane addition!”

Also me: “Oh no”

Poorlando Tragic

Trade high (or highest value at this point) on Paolo, make it known it’s Franz’s team and move from there.

Trade Carter Jr. too

Will Paolo’s contract still have the poison pill thing making it hard to do trades in the off season?

I was so sure that the Magic would be atop the east this year following injuries to Tatum and Hali in last year’s playoffs.

I don’t understand why he played but I think he should have.

Him playing two games before the all star break is what bothers me

He definitely shouldn’t have played in London

I know you’re joking but we don’t own our pick 😭

The Basketball Gods vote Democrat

Similar thing to what happened to the hornets for years… injuries suck.

Hope the magic are healthy next year it’s not fun for the fanbase

Nuggets are a close second, the moment someone gets healthy another one NEEDS to be out for a month or so.

I feel like the East is weak enough this year that if you have the Magic’s talent, just try to sneak into the playoffs with everyone healthy and anything can happen.

Probably because we play ugly ass basketball. I just want a normal team that can fucking shoot the ball and stay healthy.

They have the talent on paper. But their supposed best player ain’t playing like one, so I’m not even sure if the talent is really there.

You guys are surging and only 4.5 games out of the 6th seed. I hope you guys avoid the play-in and straight up get that playoff spot. Someone in the SE division needs to be happy.

The 2026 hornets finals run is going to be legendary

with us exploding im glad yall are surging. honestly just take 6th

What do they have in common? That’s right it’s all Bane’s fault.

The Magic haven’t fallen apart. They have runway left to try a new coach, and then if that doesn’t work an addition by subtraction trade.

I mean the Grizzlies own both their pick and the Magic’s pick this year with another 3 first rounders. So that’s promising……for Memphis that is

At least the Magic still have a really good roster

It’s a brutal cycle that I didn’t fall for this year:

1. Team has a great streak at the beginning of the year.

2. A few starters get injured potentially ending the streak but they somehow get better.

3. The remaining team gets wrecked by injuries officially ending the great games.

4. Period of trash games

5. Stars come back and can’t turn it around.

6. Barely make the playoffs and get bounced 1st round.

7. Repeat step 1 next season.

I immediately sensed it would be the same this year and it became 100% apparent that Banchero has got to be traded. It wouldn’t be the remedy to make this team a contender, but we have to get whatever value is left of him for some legit scorers that aren’t net negatives on our roster.

I think Silver forced them to play him. I just hope we get a #1 pick for it down the line.

Is there even such a thing as surgery for a high ankle sprain?

This injury is notoriously one that lingers as we learned from LeBron after Solomon hill landed on him. Usually you need a few months off to fully heal otherwise you deal with recurring issues like we’ve seen with Franz.

Yeah sounds like we’re trying to get him geared up for the playoffs, but I don’t think a 60% Franz makes us a contender or even 100% Franz. If he needs surgery we need to bite the bullet and operate now.

And discounting how bad of a shooting team they are even with Bane

lowest it’s ever been. he’s on a rookie scale max contract with a damn player option which is very rare

 Bag of peanuts 

Bane is literally our best player rn , he’s on fire lately that trade isn’t what’s wrong with our team lol

Who did we blow all our draft capital on exactly? We own all our picks through 2032…
