been a long while since I’ve seen them and they Kevin tore the place up it was it was a good weekend really enjoyed it excellent excellent mate oh glad obviously and obviously did have a couple of conversations with uh folks wearing Lakers Stu and the the full kit um I’m not allowed to use that word the full kit wearing chap in the in the in full Boston Celtics uh Larry Bird outfit yeah t was it Paul testing their knowledge you know it’s the law yeah turns out the Larry Bird guy yeah he knew his stuff did he lers not so much no I did see something um on on Ax Twitter but before I think it might have been game what was it game five um where somebody went around a couple of the Boston fans and asked them uh what college Jason Tayon went to not many people uh from what we saw in the video knew he went you could you could ask me that you could have asked me those sort of questions about magic players that’s not something I’m interested in no no though I I think had had a guest it was did you say duke I think had yeah yeah Duke so yeah there we go cool well let’s get into it so obviously we’ve had the draft uh that’s in the books now uh so we’re back here to digest what went down but before we do that just want to uh give a quick shout out to our patrons um who obviously help us um immensely by supporting the show so uh thank you for your incredible support to Barry con Paulo and France War Ole law Gary Clark Angus Craig Dylan Holden Alan Kane Tom son Mark Jos Shawn Moore Liam radborne Andy Lindley Stuart Benes drum drum drummy drum drum and pod Father Phil loves hazy Northwestern we really do appreciate your CHS absolutely absolutely um if you are interested in joining our patreon we have three tiers available with varying benefits uh please visit patreon.com let talk magic to join today right so let’s take it back to Wednesday night we didn’t have a a bit a watch party um it’s probably a good thing actually because we did we were picking half three four o’clock in the morning um and yet we still got guys up there watching I know absolute legends that is dedication to the cause where you can just click on Bleacher Report or whatever in the morning and see who we took that is dedication to the cause yeah I was I was kind of hoping to see you there might be some moves or whatever but wasn’t to be wasn’t to be so we ended up drafting Tristan D Silva with the 18th overall draft pick uh who served four years at Colorado uh Tristan uh was born in Munich so German international uh he will wear 23 so we’ve got a 21 22 and a 23 now all uh who could play for the German national team he is a 6’8 inch forward who averaged 16 points per game last season uh bit of a complete scorer on all three levels uh I think last season he shot 49% from the field hitting 39% of his three-point field goal attempt which would be very welcome uh and I was on a steady uh steady volume uh also registered five rebounds two and a half assists a steel and half a block in 34 minutes on average a game um so what are your First Reactions Paul are you happy with the pick wait let’s be honest you’re not going to land that ey catching Mo most most fancied Prospect at 18 are you most of those guys are already going to have gone so anything that you’re taking is um a roll of the dice I suppose any any draft pick overall is a roll of the dice so yeah um over the over the years been some solid picks at number 18 Q Rich he went to 18 um as did Goa and you can argue that last season’s steal of the draft was by Miami at number 18 your favorite uh P the pirate your favorite M hack um so let’s not knock it let’s not knock it um I think that what we did do was take a player who addresses our needs we’ve actually took somebody that we have um we have a need of of uh a two-way player we have a need of shooting we have a need of a play player who can handle the ball who can dribble who can pass um he seems to fit those criteria so yeah yeah happy about you mate yeah I mean there was a couple of guys uh yeah we all want we all really fancied that but it would have been such a remote chance if he dropped to 18 or it would have meant us moving up and that means packaging something up for a prospect yeah yeah I agreee with you mate I he was the guy I would have have chosen yeah so I I sat there in the morning watched pick by pick come along and then my brothers an local at home fan and I was thinking oh gosh they’ve done it again they picked the person I want and then the second person I want went to Miami so uh yeah H you can’t win at all can you there there were lots of people saying that they would have liked um I think his name’s pronounced connect who’s gone to went to 17 Pi before yeah uh that he was a really good Prospect three-point shooter so yeah that’s that’s not that’s not not what we’ve got no no no but like you said you know from what we’ve read and the highlights and stuff he he does everything well uh nothing possibly exceptionally but you know you’ve got somebody who can shoot the ball uh Drive he’s a good cutter as well so he’s almost in the sort of France mold as well so um somebody who can help us uh immediately off the bench um so yeah no it’s a good good times um so let’s just have a quick thing of the fit he just mentioned it there Paul but he reported in the media that Tristan the Silva mentioned his dinner interview with the front office so that’s Anthony Parker and Jeff welman exceeded the hour and a half time limit uh and they did sit down for over two and a half hours the Sila commenting um it’s an organization you want to be a part of um we know the magic great mate yeah high on High character guys just seems quite perfect the perfect fit doesn’t it right absolutely um look over recent years I think we all know that the team’s made a habit of going and looking for players who have size and skill combinations this guy seems to fit that mold again um from what I’m reading he brings the kind of accuracy with the three ball that could really help us take the next step that M I’m not no that’s unfair that’s putting pressure on him who can help us maximize what we have on the offensive end already um that’s not to put pressure on him to produce multiple massive scoring games that’s unfair on a rookie um I am going to say that you know I don’t at prospects until we actually until we actually draft somebody uh and then I’ll start looking I’ve taken that step back from looking at the draft at the guys who have declared simply because I’m fed up and falling in love with certain people and want people people that you know there’s you look down and think that’s who I really want that’s who I really want and then we draft Mo bber that’s sort of thing that um so unless we’ve got a really top pi pick out like when we had the number one pick with and we we were all looking at Jabari we were all looking at Paulo we were all looking at Chad other than that I’m I don’t look so I’ve only really just started looking at what we have um it would seem that I I’ve I’ve read and a lot of is I’ve not looked at any video yet I’ll be honest with you so everything I’ve seen has been I’ve been whilst I’ve been sat in the exam I’ve been able to read a little bit um whilst sat doing the to be able to read a little bit or in between times but I’ve not had the opportunity to look at any video of him yet yeah so from what I’m seeing it would appear that there were better athletes but were they available at the 18 spot I don’t know um there were clearly guys who have higher ceilings uh again were they available at 18 I don’t know the magic chose to to hold position or if we don’t know if if I’ve not seen anything to suggest that they were trying to trade up if we were then we weren’t able to do it so we held 18 um and as such for me it seems that as I said we took a slightly older guy who seems equipped to play that two-way role that linking two-way role that we need um you never know I I saw I think it was on I can’t I think it I say it was Bleacher Report who was saying that we could have landed this year’s um steel of the draft in him he could be he could be that guy who comes out and does exactly what hackz did last season produces um unexpected performances for the position he’s been drafted in um you read that he’s got an ability to dribble to dribble he’s got an ability to pass he’s got the ability to shoot clearly from his statistics in um in college um uh seems he’s got a full package that yeah teams love in a in a combo forward uh 6’8 he definitely got that length that our lar love um and hopefully it would and again from reading it would appear that he’s also able to adapt to different demands of of the role so you should be looking at somebody who can bring a good skill set uh for for an early impact and an NBA fit coming from the bench I’m hoping that we’ve we’ve landed a really good pick here I’m hoping yeah let’s see let’s not put pressure on the guy give the opportunity but it’s nice to see that we’ve taken somebody older who can possibly play straight away and you mentioned hackers there he was a fouryear uh college player and obviously came in um and he was an impact um and you almost look at Players like what Miami take and the Bostons of the world you know they pick players who possibly you know a little bit older not your young raw 19 20 21 year olds we got a 24 year old um who’s probably got you know a bit more experience um and able to contribute straight away but the only other um interesting thing is uh D Silva’s got a brother plays on the German national team with Fran and mo so obviously there might have been some Intel there who knows so um very good point and I also think it’s nice for somebody coming in um that he’s got a connection immediately within the team yeah in in that respect yeah it’s good yeah good very happy very happy with it so then uh last night uh it was was a 9:00 start I think it was the second round so was the first time they’ve split the first and second round up um and I think it’s quite a good thing CU it gives um teams more time to sort of consider what they’ve got uh and we did see quite a number of Trades um so the magic were penciled I think was it 47 46 47 wasn’t it 47 in the draft uh uh so I stayed up I waited and waited and just as we were about to pick the magic have traded the second round pick laugh J but G it was so funny you were messaging the group I was watching a film with Joan um and you were messaging into the group and yeah like yeah you know magic up next LS if you want to just flicking on okay I’ll log into the iPad and just as I’m logging into NBA uh league pass to watch in drops this message ffs it read to start with I think mate we’ve traded the pick I’ve sat and watched this something absolutely nothing I was rolling sorry but I was rolling that was so I’m here for entertainment all right so yeah like you said we traded the pick to New Orleans uh New Orleans actually picked a player who shot 45% from three so someone who could have been quite useful but um we will get the right to two pick swaps in 2030 and 31 in the second round with New Orleans uh no cash consideration this year unfortunately but kind of as expected you think Paul um very much expected not at all surprising we’ve got this history of um not using that second round pick perhaps it’s a little disappointing um as say I genuinely felt sorry for you sitting through the entire thing only to see the uh the pick traded away um I genuinely think it’s more indicative uh this season of the front office looking and saying what do we need what’s our plan for this season and assessing that we don’t need any more youth um we’ve clearly got some plan in place for the summer and I think an additional rookie isn’t part of that hence why we were able to move the pick on yeah but we look you look at some at some of the past second round diamonds that have been on Earth in the same way as we’ve just been talking about at number at the number eight team pick um you look at some of the diamonds that have been on Earth very very late in that second round perhaps it’s worth that swing who knows but uh yeah it listen I’m not going to start criticizing the front office because I think from where we were to where we are they have to take credit night and day yeah absolutely they know a lot more about the sport than I do so who am I yeah well another reason I did watch I was hoping that somebody would pick bronny James just so the Lakers didn’t have him unfortunately that didn’t happen um so we’ll see how he pans out are you bored with it already yeah yeah I find it funny what you sent just before we started into the group summer league is starting there’s a big photo of bronny James not the number one pick or the number two pick the 55th pick yep unbelievable on the on the right up of it the first look at Bron and and then it went on to just name the the guy at number one and that’s wrong that’s wrong you know the other guys have all there’s 54 people been picked ahead of you based on Talent not on who your father is and and I just think it’s ridiculous to see this over attention that we have on LeBron’s son you know I’m I I’m not wishing the guy ill far from it and I think it’s great for LeBron it must be a great experience to to be able to play Father and Son but should it be the national media’s Focus no no not at all not at all y tedious go I know and it’s going to be a long season of it tell me about it tell me about it have to mute the word Lakers and James um so we’ve seen a few moves um occur in the last week um probably the big biggest one is the New York Knicks uh grabbing Bridges from the Brooklyn Net which is probably the most Talkabout deal out there um are you surprised that no trades have been made by the magic or we just B in our time um and then as for the knck mate you know along with them keeping ogan and Obi which was later revealed do you think they’ve got enough to deth Boston top of the East wait I’ve I’ve done all the talk do you want to go first or do you want me to CU I’m you know me never shy of talking never shy of sharing an opinion but listen do you want to go first yeah okay okay I I will I will so so the next I think it’s it’s a big steep price uh I think Brooklyn have made out quite well for someone who’s be going to become a you know a third or fourth option um on a very very talented Knicks team I know he was at the same College as um most of the guys there and it’s bringing the gang together so to speak um obviously OG anobi um opted out and then he’s obviously um talked to the front office and got a better deal for himself I don’t know the actual cap numbers for the Knicks now but obviously keeping hartenstein is going to be more difficult unless he takes you know home Hometown discount uh and I think he’s absolutely key for the Knicks um just solidify in that paint area so if they’re able to bring hartenstein back for me they’ve got a lot of talent to throw you know their weight about there against you know Boston who are also very very good um it’s going to be uh interesting I wouldn’t like to call it one way or the other if I’m honest mate but um it’s you know they’re making moves but they have um I’m not going to lie I was surprised to see that one happen uh I don’t think that came very I don’t I’ve not seen that one muted no on on any trade rumors or anything like that uh for me I’m not necessarily surprised that the magic haven’t done anything yet um to answer that first part he asked me uh I think I’m I I I’m wondering if we had we’ve clearly been having talks with Klay Thompson according to all the reports um um but I think we were probably more focused on what do we get from the draft is it actually again were we looking at moving up uh have we addressed one of the needs and what can we get for the during the rest of the summer free agency And Trades um I think that work will start in Earnest now more so than perhaps it’s those free agent announcements that have come in you know like Malik decided to stay with the Kings obviously that’s a little bit disappointing and the numbers were numbers that we considered you know maybe we could offer him that um I’m just waiting for that first magic I’ve agreed do you know what I mean to absolutely um as to the question that’s been asked all around are the Knicks now the number one team in the East I think that’s still Boston’s position position I think that you have to tip your hat to Boston they are a team with a great mix of Youth experience um they’ve got veteran leadership and they’ve got star power they’ve got and most importantly uh they have capable role players who are who are happy to accept that role and you can’t have a successful team without those guys um it’s a great mix that they’ve got it’s going to be difficult going back to back for titles for Boston it’s never easy everyone wants to beat the Champions you’ve got a Target on your back the Knicks have S the Knicks had great depth after the trade deadline last season and they’ve added to it here with picking up Bridges um you T I’m just looking at a graphic here where the suggest question of their starting unit on on on the depth chart is Jaylen Brunson Mel Bridges o anobi Julius Randall and Mitchell Robinson that’s a that’s a capable team that’s a very very capable team then their bench unit the start the five that they’ve got that this death chart has as their leading positions on the bench yeah miles Bridges Dante dienzo Josh Hart Precious Precious AA and Jericho Sims okay so no no hartenstein there no because he’s still a free agent yeah so if you can bring hartenstein back as well they become even deeper and they become even harder to play uh I think Jericho Sims impressed last season anyway he I thought he whenever we played the Knicks and we saw him he impressed me I thought he had a good game you’re not going to playay him ahead of har andin had doubt unless you can find a way does does a cheer drop out does precious chewer drop further back and you find a way of playing hartenstein at the power forward or Sims at the power forward or you’ve just got a real nice complimentary rotation of guys who can situ different things on any on yeah situational on On Any Given night that’s a good 10 players 11 if you get hartenstein back um then you’ve got your Ender bench guys that’s a hard team to be and they already play with grit they already play with a grit and attitude and they’ve got greater experience as a result of what they did in the playoffs this season than they had going into the 2023 24 season they’re in a very good position yeah I would put them second I would put them second in the in the East yeah is that if you’re a Knicks fan you just got to hope that Tom Tio doesn’t run them into the ground in the season and sort of you know that’s where I think that’s where having that depth of unit is very important for that yeah you can you want to see the you expect to see the roster oh sorry the rotations brought down during the pivotal period where you in that if you are fighting for qualification you expect to see the the roster brought down to um a smaller number you certainly expect to see that during the playoffs in the season you you should be using that full Squad that you have and having 10 11 guys plus end of bench yeah you’ve got you’ve got to see you’ve got to hope that if you’re a Knicks fan that tibs doesn’t as you say run him into the ground because he has been guilty of that in the past and I think that’s what hurt the Knicks towards the end of the season where you looked at perhaps one or two injuries that they got yeah absolutely um now on to a little bit bit of sad news uh it was announced this afternoon that Admiral Scofield uh will be playing in the Euro league next season for a team called ldlc Asel I’m not going to get the French Google person to spell it or say it out for me uh in the French league so that is a suburb of leyon uh for anybody who wants to keep an eye on what Admiral is doing obviously if you’re taking a trip to France and want to see some basketball he will be playing for them I know there’s going to be some tears shed in the Northeast this evening with this news so PR to to to Gary yeah we’re all thinking of you mate but I think that I think that’s an INE it was an inevitable one wasn’t it as soon as he wasn’t eligible to have a two-way contract again he was not going to be the guy who got one of the full roster spots now no I know he picked up one before but he wasn’t going to be that guy that from now um do you know what but his presence in that Squad we’ve all seen how he’s been perfectly capable willing and able to stand up in a huddle and talk to the team it doesn’t matter that he’s not necessarily been getting big minutes he’s been listened to as a voice of experience and trusted by um the the team to be somebody to listen to um he’s he’s a loss to us he is a loss it’s not all about points and minutes on the floor no and he’s always been available his availability has been second to not so it’s a shame he’s had to go but we I think it was one we were all expecting and and fully understand it’s what we’ve said before there are going to be players that we like that are going to be no longer part of our future Admirals our first casualty yeah unfortunately so so um the magic will play uh so let’s talk summer league the magic will play in the opening game of Las Vegas summer league against the Cleveland Cavaliers uh so here we’re going to see the Silva Anthony black jet Howard all Su but um you know with that sort of a roster you know to lead the line Orlando should have a decent shot as long as they play you know heavy minutes so the the summer league schedule uh is as follows so the 12th of July they will play the Cleveland Cavaliers at 400 p.m. Eastern so that’s 9:00 in the evening uh UK time that will be aired on NBA TV um on the 14th of July they’ll be facing the New Orleans Pelicans that’s a 7:30 p.m. tip so that’s halfast midnight again on NBA TV so that’ll be the following we get see our second round pick scorches with the three um the third game then is on the 17th of July against the Memphis Grizzlies at 700m tip that is on ESPN plus I’m not sure if that’s going to be add on NBA TV for us with League Pass uh with the final game um I think there might be some knockout rounds after this this is just a preliminary against the Brooklyn Nets at 800 PM so that’s 1 a. uh on the morning of the 19th of July and that’ll again be on NBA TV so bit of Magic basketball orbe at Summer League uh is upon us so H too far away no no absolutely um some other news I wrote this and then all of this came out today Paul wasn’t it it was just adding to the agenda all the time but we’re not compaining it’s nice to have something to talk about we we knew it we we’re gonna have now that couple of weeks where it’s busy and then everything’s going to drop off again as we go into training camp and there to talk about for a period of time that’s it so we scratch around for Content yeah so any ideas let us know comment um coach Jamal Mosley has been named as the USA Basketball men’s select team’s head coach for the second consecutive year um jayen Suggs has also made that roster so that’s a team that’s going to be facing the team that’s going to the Olympics this summer so that would be a great experience for jayen um and again for Jamal so good luck to them with that um so what we thought we’ do Paul is we’ve had quite few comments on um on you know YouTube and x Facebook and whatever else so we say we say every week don’t we that we we love to hear people’s comments and talk to us so yeah I like this idea mate so we’re going to read them out so yeah like I said thank you for for your likes and comments and all social platforms uh we thought i’ read a few a few out and just have a bit of a discussion on it so on YouTube obviously last week’s episode with Gary and Mikey uh spoke with Philip Rossman Reich and we had a suggestion from Daniel Hicks so shout out Daniel he suggested cavius corwell Pope or Malcolm Brogden as possibilities this offseason um obviously Paul we know that brogen’s got traded to the Washington Wizards in a Denny AIA trade a couple of days ago uh but with kcp dealing um declining his option should I say um he’s obviously a free agent that’s on the market and possibly on the Magic’s radar so what are your thoughts on kcp and Pinstripes simply put yes please yeah 100% I know we’ve talked about we mentioned him as a possibility in one of those um I think where we were looking at all different free agents um a few few weeks back his his name came up kcp absolutely f our needs he brings winning experience uh what is he 11 years in the in the league now um got his stats here last season he averaged 10.1 points 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game that’s that’s valuable um he’s got two championships one with the Lakers and do the same thing the one with Denver um so he can come in and help this young team learn how to take that next step if we can land a player like kcp I’ll be very very happy yes please yeah good so yeah yeah do you want to take the next one is that the uh which one is that dos yeah dos okay mate so you’re answering this one aren’t you yeah you’re having this one so Dino black he says look up Johnny Fury um from Kansas who reminds him of Ryan Anderson uh you’ve you’ve had a look at him G I think uh and the question is how good would it be to get a player of the Ryan Anderson type talk to me Goose yeah I I mean I was watching the second round um like like we talked about earlier and I think he went is it 35th I want to say um there might be in a trade um where he went I was drafted by San Antonio Trader to Indiana I I might be making that a something like that but to get somebody like that um and you know I was a massive Ryan Anderson fan I’ve got a couple of his jerseys in my in my wardrobe um somebody who hits the glass hard he was most improved player uh he can shoot the three hard-nosed defensive guy um I remember the day we traded him to New Orleans for oh my God she was called Gustavo ion from was Mexican just absolutely Ely gted um but he was someone you really rooted for thereafter so I’d always look out for Ryan when he was on New Orleans when he was on Houston uh just so um but if if you could get somebody of that caliber and again Paul you know just somebody who’s gonna possibly come off the bench you know 10 12 points a game but give you spot minutes open the floor stroke that three U and a really good teammate and just a nice dude um you you listen to Dy marelli speak of Ryan when you know he’s back Center you know um everybody loves the guy and um do you know what he’s somebody I’d absolutely love to have on his podcast so uh if anybody knows Ryan and he wants to come on the podcast please let him know that we’d love to speak to him so uh yeah I play I’ll see what I’ll have a roll of the dice mate see what we can get good stuff right the next one is come from Steve C 4189 um so this was from the week before so um he suggested uh we were talking about who we could um yeah spend the money on so we have nearly 50 million in cap space and us the the royal four of us uh are talking about tyus Jones Malik monk um and he says is this this is a reason Orlando will never win a championship and do you want to take this one Paul I I don’t think it’s a completely unfair question sorry I don’t think it’s an unfair comment um look we are magic fans through and through but let’s be absolutely Fair on this to start with as yet we haven’t proven anything other than we’ve made progress from being a 21 win team under Steve Clifford in 2020 2021 season to having a 47 win season last year we’ve proven nothing more we haven’t attracted a big name in free agency nor have we done so through it through trades and we haven’t done in a long time in fact I would I don’t think in my time as a magic fan we’ve ever done it so I don’t think as a premise it’s it’s an unfair comment now you this it’s it’s well known that I am a guy who would rather have um a team rather than a star an individual star I would rather see a cohesive roster that challenges than have you know that star who comes in and everybody oh he’s great yeah he’s absolutely but creates problems within the team causes diversion uh and Division I don’t I don’t want that I don’t think that’s constructive um you know if you’ve got somebody who’s pting because they haven’t got the ball that’s not great within a team um it devalues everybody else so uh I don’t so therefore I don’t mind talking about character guys um who fit the needs um and not necessarily the stars who could move us forward I would rather see uh a character guy a cohesive piece that moves that needle now if that’s somebody like Attias Jones who perhaps he he’s well regarded but isn’t the star in um NBA terms put him in the right situation perhaps he could become that more valuable player um so that’s where I’m coming from with us talking about uh some should we say lesser names um but I think it’s a very good point as to the as to the Stars we have seen teams throw money at Big names throwing all these teams together they prod phen them yeah I I’ve made not of two straight away and you’ve Brooklyn and Phoenix with two uh you’ve got the next first of all few years back kg Paul Pierce Jason Terry absolutely crippled their future for the next it didn’t work what team did it benefit Boston Boston those trades that trade gave them they two star players in that team at this moment in time tat didn’t it y yeah you then look at Boston again KD KY Harden it didn’t work um Brooklyn yeah sorry you said Boston it’s all good yeah sorry mate sorry Brooklyn yeah so flashy moves don’t necessarily guarantee no success um we all also know that we have deals Lumi fairly soon for for jayen sucks for France Vagner for Paulo banero uh if we keep ji he’s do a new another deal soon uh and I don’t know whether if he stays whether we’re going to get him on the cheap again therefore I think that this team having a fiscal responsibility is no bad thing we’re not mortgaging our future on one big name um I also think it’s why we’re seeing the reports of players that we are potentially talking to like you clay Thompsons that we’re asking for a two-year deal because they’re looking at the bigger picture on the longer term yeah but I think it’s I do think it’s a fair a fair comment made by by Steve see there I think it’s a fair comment and we we haven’t proven anything yeah and in addition to that it’s money we have to spend otherwise we’re just going to eat into it with these extensions and we’re not going to get the benefit of you know going over so getting these players now like your Klay Thompson you sign in for I don’t know 25 million ideally on a two-year deal then great it gives us a flexibility in two years um but then you can go over then by resigning your Jaylen Suggs your Fran vargin your poos on these rookie scale contracts um and eat into it but if we were to resign them first then we haven’t got the money then to go after these big fish and free agency so no yeah yeah yeah so no thank you for that Steve appreciate the comment um so the last one the last one’s for Mikey but um I’ll read it out anyway because he’s going have to listen to this he’s edited so NSU [Laughter] Saint laugh when I saw this one yeah he suggested that we really need to turn on the CC and see how it converts our British accents uh he thinks it’d be hilarious so like I said this one for Mikey so he’s going to to come back to us next week on this one
