Every player the front office met or spoke with is preparing to or has already signed elsewhere. All but praying for waiters at this point. Hopefully this isn't a preview of next summer

There are 4 rookies we HOPE get a lot of playing time this year.
Then we HOPE BI and Zubac improve, a lot.
Then you have Brooke Lopez......
Randle-JC-Nance
Deng
We're going to be in the bottom 3 teams in the league. The difference is the bad/tanking East teams will beat up on each other. The West teams are going to annihilate us. The Kings and Suns are the only teams even close to us, and the Kings will be better than us, the Suns will be a coin flip again.
It's gonna be bad, regardless, but at least since we don't have our pick, we have no reason to root for losses this time. It will just sting more now.

We're about to miss on Waiters and we just watched Swaggy sign with the Warriors.
We're getting Rose or Rondo, aren't we.

^Then you have to turn around and sell all that, minus Brook Lopez, to two max guys coming from playoff teams. After seeing how hard a time they're having selling free agents this summer, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence for the grand 2018 plan
Well, could have let it grow slowly, organically, and let the young guys develop together over a period of time while the Warriors run comes to an end, but hey, let's rush back into their window like a bug against a windshield. What could go wrong?

Did you even watch the Heat games last year? Dion dished out 4 assists a game last season.a ball stopper is bad for this system, Ball and the improvement of BI/Randle/Zu
A one year deal isn't bad.Magic and Rob bout to panic and give Dion a bag.
If Dion is considered a ball stopper, what is Swaggy P?

You acting like Dion can't spot up shoot either
He played great last season
He would essentially fill the DLo role
You guys should be freaking out when we sign Jamal Crawford or Derrick Rose though
Now those are ball stoppers

Magic catching the fade on sight if we sign this clown.
Dudes stats are almost identical to D Lo, at 4x the price

Looking at the list of UFA's that actually moved to a new team......Hill is the only one I would have liked for this team, and he rightly took a multiyear deal with more money
Calderon Cavs
Heyward Celtics
Gallinari Clippers
MacLemore Grizzlies
George Hill Kings
Millsap Nuggests
Darren Collison Pacers
Amir Johnson Sixers
Reddick Sixers
Paul George Thunder
Patrick Patterson Thunder
Swaggy P Warriors
Casspi Warriors
Jodie Meeks Wiz
Teague Wolves
Ya'll really upset at Magic/Rob over this list of players? Most of which would not sign a 1-year deal

Waiters is not a bad player. I would welcome him to a one year deal over all the other options.
He has no incentive to take a 1 year, 17 million deal with us over a potential 3 year, 50 million deal in NY or MIA, so this discussions doesn't really matter.
One year overpay for Jamal Crawford coming soon.

Dudes rly thought he wasn't gonna be in the NBA this year

He got a better 3pt FG% and EFG% from what I'm seeing.
Moonman got a point that we are paying more for almost the same production we could have got from DLo, but hey, it is what it is.

They are still mad that DLo got traded. Who we could easily replace his production with Dion Waiters.

I would've offered Meeks or McLemore 1 year overpays instead of hoping Waiters or Hill would accept your ****** offer. Not sure how that makes me still mad Dlo was traded but yeah Magic ****** that up.
