2026 NBA Playoffs East 1st Round: #1 Detroit Pistons vs #8 Orlando Magic (DET wins 4-3)

Magic probably still end up losing the series but Paolo gotta be in the gym working on FTs all off season

He was atrocious

Orlando probably wins this series if Franz plays one of the last 2 games

Idk if I trust Paolo enough to build my franchise around him but if I do trust him, then I would gut this whole team and put shooters around him.

I would just wait until Franz show the league he can stay healthy next season and get rid of him too.

One thing I do like Paolo is hes a good passer off the drive. Give him the ball on top of the key and and play four out.

The shooting for the Magic might have been the worst I seen in a long time across a whole series.

I agree. Magic had the right intentions going all in with Bane being added, but he offers nothing else if he is not hot. Frank stay hurt, Suggs will hustle, but his offense is sometimey. Carter is a solid defensive player, but nothing more. That leaves Paolo solo dolo on some nights.

If they can consolidate Suggs/Bane/Franz into a solid contributor, they would still have a solid supporting cast of Carter,Black, Cain, Bitasde, De Silva.

Love to Moseley, but an offensive minded coach working with Paolo would make him more dangerous

Trade Suggs. Start AB. I don’t like the coaching options. Thibs is white Mosley. Malone or Jenkins would have been decent. I would move off of Franz for a PG if there were one out there that made any sense.

I wonder what yall pay Black....I was saying before Im his representation Im not taking anything less than Suggs

But if Im Orlando we're not going into the 20s

I think thats going to be a fascinating negotiation

30-35 is about right. We would have to dump a few contracts. Turning Suggs into an expiring contract(preferably a shooter) and a frp would be nice.

Jamal Murray for Suggs/Black?

30-35 a year for Anthony Black?

 

[Sky Davis]

Jamal Murray for Suggs/Black?

I wouldn’t mind that

He needs to leave Denver anyways

 

[Sky Davis]

Anthony black should be making $20 mil a year imo

 

[A.F.R.I.C.A]

30-35 a year for Anthony Black?

If he signs this summer it would be a mistake. Based on his current trajectory and
if he get the starting spot next year I can see him clearing 30 mil a year easy

 

[AP4.0]

Anthony Black not that guy

Yeah I've been a huge Anthony Black fan since college but nah that would be a massive mistake

Anthony Black is still someone that its kind of awkward fit on the basketball court even if you add more shooting

Dyson Daniels getting 25 mil per year.....Black a better finisher at the rim but Daniels is a better on ball defender

Black is better than Christian Braun but Braun getting getting between 20-28 the next 5 years

AB has more upside offensively than both of them because he can dribble and finish way better but yall are seeing these limited guards who muck up your offense become complete liabilities and get played off the court in the playoffs


Jabari Smith got extended making 25 per for reference as well......

Id extend Anthony Black between 15-18 mil per year......but like I said if Im his agent im not taking less than Jalen Suggs lol

Paying AB 30 million dollars a year would be pure insanity
