When he played in 2024 he was arguably the best defensive bench player in the league. 

Then he added weight. 

His contract is cheap enough that we were faced with a dilemma of waiting to see if he’d regain his form considering his replacement would be, well, replacement level. 

Now the bill is due and we have very few other ways to maneuver financially. 

He’s gonna be an incredible vet minimum signing for someone.

The 1 year he’s healthy, could swing a Championship like Otto Porter Jr.

I only know him for 2 things, being injured (and completely healed) and being a good defensive player.

Is he still a good defensive player? How good we talking based off the Amen/Ausur Thompson scale of defense to offense?

I think the Magic payroll employees forgot he was on the spreadsheet

Jesus made it possible, Jesus was helping him out (that’s why he couldn’t help any of those poor fellas in Gaza, he was tied up workin on JI)

Using Klarna on my DoorDash order.

The thing is with the stretch provision because his contract still has 3 years it’ll be $8m stretched out to 7 years, (stretch provision is 2× the remaining years +1).

It means turning an \(8m contract into ~\)1.1m for 7 years lol

Idk stretching a small amount while trying to compete can help you sign a cheap rotation player. Now hindsight’s ²⁰⁄₂₀ and the Bucks were trying to signal they would do anything to keep Giannis, but that Dame stretch is gonna hurt for many years.

Not in a league of $100M stretches

Blackwater/Pyramid Scheme/Trump Fondler stock must be low rn

For real. Stretching \(8M is usually what you do when you're desperate to shave off like \)2M in cap space, not when you’re already cooked on the books. Magic must really not want him around at all.

Don’t forget AJ Griffin!

Who is also completely useless offensively and can’t stay healthy.

Florida Senate run coming soon

You’re right, but also keep in mind most NBA players likely hold some views/opinions that most would find reprehensible too. They just don’t make them publicly known. Kyrie wasn’t alone on that wild shit he was saying a few years ago.

Would be worth it if he could actually stay on the court. Can’t be a brand risk and a court risk at the same time in this league. Kyrie has the same weird beliefs if not worse but at least he can be a top tier 2nd option.

I mean his playstyle is unique as hell when he’s healthy but yeah the off-court stuff makes it hard to root for him. Kinda wild how fast his career fell off after that ACL tear.

as a FSU fan we had Isaac and Scottie Barnes on the same team (the year they canceled the tourney)

Bold talk coming from Mr 2Aprons over here. Better win the next game or yall going to be laying off more people than Zuckerberg

He’s still incredibly religious, but I don’t know that he’s been explicity pro-Trump recently. 

He loves Jesus so very much.

Magic not gonna matter on Judgement Day

Ivey Isaac Robinson Royce White and Holographic Wilt Chamberlain starting 5 at the Turning Point Alternate All Star Game for Snowflakes and Racist Cowards

Orlando can’t afford to take back salary and isn’t giving up all that to save 1.1M next year.

nah i’m good, dude is cooked

Yeah Reggie White was the man (on the field).

He didn’t play much down the stretch this season, was he hurt again?

If he’s waived before June 28th, he’s owed $8m next season, and nothing after that. The last 2 years are fully non-guaranteed.

If he was on a roster after June 28th for whatever reason, he’d be owed $14.5m for the next 3 seasons.

i mean anytime they can grab a headcase player who averaged under 3 pts and rarely plays, you should definitely go all in.

Not worth the headache and Garzilla will probably give you more than Isaac at this point. Certainly healthier
