Look like Weltman is searching the market for a guard upgrade.
Here are some folks on my wishlist
– Darius Garland
– Dejounte Murray
– Quentin Grimes
– Chris Paul
– Gary Trent Jr
– Tyus Jones
– Alex Caruso
– Bruce Brown
– Bogdan Bogdanovich
– Luke Kennard
– Gabe Vincent

I’d sure hope so.
Caruso and Bogdanovich would be dope tbh
Give me Garland or Murray while keeping Franz/Paolo/Suggs/JI and I’ll be a happy man
I’ve been on the Caruso to Orlando wagon for a bit. Having him and Suggs in the backcourt would be unfair for opposing teams.
Bruce Brown for Fultz and picks would be a nice, realistic move. I know the management said before the season that they don’t want to take any shortcuts but this seems like an entirely appropriate time for Orlando to so something, even if its a bigger move.
FINALLY, this useless FO wakes up. We actually have a great team but Mosley does not understand how to use it nor how to make a competent lineup. The synergies are all messed up. Went from #2 to probably out of playoffs and that’s squarely on Mosley.
Many of yall love to blame players but Mosley ruined working lineups and have not found ways to strengthen or hide our gaps.
Yes players should hit FTs but using that as an excuse is not correct as that’s a known weakness and its a coaches job to not only know their teams weaknesses but also know how the other team will try to exploit that weakness.
We were #2, 100% because of defense and that’s 45% because of Goga and AB in the SL. Both of them worked perfectly in the SL and were leading defenders in the NBA but this coach decided that going for more offense is the way and not looked at being a guaranteed top4 seed as also being the way. We were fine and were elite but somehow many of yall thought it was not enough and our coach also thought it was not enough and here we are now. 2nd wasnt good enough so lets go for lottery.
We werent figured out, it’s the opposite we got ambitious and lost our identity, we were winning those tough games that showed championship teams/coaches gameplanning against us before Markelle and Wendell came back. This team wad stable and had counter moves and a real identity now its jumbled and we never returned to form as the entire system changed.
We need a real trade to stop mosley from doing more harm. I truly think he is ruining this teams development. They look so lost many games, no fight, disjointed, and wild. Things they didn’t look like before except for maybe wild as many games got a bit sloppy but they usually had some composure to the madness.
I like these players but I will say it again, Wendell is not a center. I THINK AB is a great starter just as much as Kelle. I do think Kelle fits the SL and brings alot just as much as AB but we are defensive team and thats where AB shines. I do understand starting Kelle however as his fit with the bench hasnt looked the best and AB may be a better bench fit but completely benching AB and Goga is not only terrible its disrespectful.
They still probably account for 70 percent of our wins as the starters despite both being benched for around the equal amount of games they have started by now. Meaning we lost so much since they got benched and its crazy none of yall notice this. Majority of our wins came from their inclusion, majority of our losses come from their exclusion. Mosley is the problem but if he cant change his mind make trades sadly.
I think they may be targeting another vet with experience to potentially replace Markelle. If they don’t, they let Markelle walk and target one in the offseason.
Guys we do this every year. We never remember to ask ourselves, “why would the other team do this trade?”
Perfect example of this is Garland. Why would they trade him? CLE isn’t rebuilding. Garland is a young all star. They could lose Mitchell in FA so they could use a backup plan. Why trade him? Bc Simmons said something on a podcast?
Alex Caruso is wildly underrated. Love his game and defense but not sure the fit on our team.
Here is who we are gonna trade for by the deadline.
