Friendly reminder, the Magic were what, one game out of the 5 seed with Franz missing FIFTY games?? To say nothing of the time missed by other (Paolo 10, Suggs over 20, etc) So forgive me if I’m not going to join in on the chorus of cries after every single signing that we didn’t get (ignoring whether or not it was actually even possible to get them). I’ll reserve my judgment on this offseason after it’s all said and done. And don’t think for a second that I’m a Weltman apologist or that I’m defending him… I’m just apparently far higher on Paolo/Franz/Bane than most. I’m also not saying we don’t need to make any moves, of course we do. I’m not sold on our depth, our scoring off the bench as a whole, etc., but let’s wait till the dust settles eh? One more thing people keep forgetting. They’re envisioning this entire roster as if the 2026-2027 version will be exactly the same as the 2025-2026 version, as if nobody develops. One advantage Orlando has, being so young, is that virtually nobody on the roster has plateaued, and all the best players haven’t even entered their prime yet except Bane. How many games you think Orlando would have won last season if Franz didn’t miss those 50 games? Now add a better coach to the picture, offseason development, and hopefully a couple moves around the margins, hopefully no more freak injuries, then check ball up top.
