    Expected, but sad none the less. Love this dude, and wish he could have stayed healthy.  

  2. Get his ass out. We need players who are able to play.

  3. You_Like_That34

    Needed but we are gonna get pennies on the dollar for him.

  4. Y’all better not freak when all we get for him is a second rounder or two.

  5. We were pretty sure in the past, that the FOc don’t leak. Now we believe a rumor?

    Sure, could be and makes sense to a degree, but I won’t bet on it.

    I have a bit of a feeling we are shopping quite a few guys around. At the same time, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if nothing happens at trade deadline, because we just aren’t in a position of desperation and NEEDING a trade to happen for us.

    Maxey became the pick that was traded for him. There was no guarantee our FO would have made the same draft decision but it’s fun to think about, this team would be insane with a starting line-up of Maxey/Suggs/Franz/Paolo.

    I don’t expect to get more for him than a second round pick and some trade filler but it’s time to move on and give more minutes to AB and Caleb.

    Hard to trade him when he isn’t healthy.

    If we can get any sort of value, cool. If not, I’d rather his contract expire then add a contract that we don’t need.

    Marc Stein is pretty reputable. I like that they are doing what they need to do to improve the team. Don’t like that it has been reported but I am confident this org has been upfront with players that could be traded.

    We all know Weltman doesn’t expose what he’s going to do.

    I would take all rumors with a grain of salt

    His trade value has probably never been lower. If you’re trying to get a contributor for him then be prepared to give up assets, unless you’re taking a bad contract back, which this organization has stayed away from, for the most part. We’ve had the occasional “Take Otto Porter back” type of thing, but those were short term deals. Orlando would have to take back a bad deal with multiple years, or give up a good draft pick, to turn Fultz into a contributor.

    I find this all very sad. Fultz was my favorite player on the team.

    i mean you can’t say we didn’t give him a go

  14. maursupial

    Gary Harris would probably be available too, but he’s hurt. I bet they wait until the deadline for a move

    You can’t plan a team around guys that never play. Sure they might be great when they play but you need consistency and reliability in order to make it all the way.
