Magic started FA with two centers in Wendell Carter Jr and Mo Bamba. Two young players with some talent. Then went out and added two more centers in Robin Lopez and Mo Wagner. Why?
I hate Orlando.
I said in the "Worst off team" thread that Orlando would be the worst. It's their management team. They have a terrible eye for talent, have trouble developing any talent they get and make the stupidest moves. Living in central Florida, I watch a bunch of Magic games. They are dreadful and will be for years and years.
This take just seems really off. ORL sold off their good, but not great, players for picks and finished off the tank last year. They were rewarded with Jalen Suggs.
Who cares that they signed veteran presence Robin Lopez to a one-year deal, or that they signed Franz Wagner's brother to help ease the transition?
Sure, they aren't going to be great this year, but they have some young talent and an actual direction. Reaching the 7th/8th seed with Vucevic/Gordon/Fournier wasn't cutting it - they did well to get off of those players/contracts.
There are a number of teams who should absolutely do what ORL just did (see: SAS).
