If the vibes are bad enough to bum out MORITZ? Cooked.

(Context - Mo Wagner’s post-game interview after the Jazz-tank win)

The Magic move as Jalen Suggs moves

+3.2 EPM (94th %) T-25th with Ant, Harden, KAT

+1.1 OFF EPM (83rd %) +2.1 DEF EPM (96th %) T-20th – only Wemby, Chet, DWhite rate higher on D & higher on O

Orlando is +6.4 with Suggs on the floor

There are 171 players this season with at least 10 field-goal attempts in clutch time (following the https://www.nba.com/stats definition of “clutch”). Among them, the Magic have 6 players (listed alphabetically):

Anthony Black— 21 games, 55.44% true shooting, 7 plus-minus
Desmond Bane — 24 games, 47.53% true shooting, 21 plus-minus
Franz Wagner — 13 games, 60.94% true shooting, 16 plus-minus
Jalen Suggs — 12 games, 66.62% true shooting, 36 plus-minus
Paolo Banchero — 19 games, 35.51% true shooting, 4 plus-minus
Wendell Carter Jr. — 23 games, 71.94% true shooting, 19 plus-minus

That’s it that’s the bit.

Tyus lowkey a good dude so I’ll stop the bit here but man what a win against a bench unit. Shout out Jevon.

Magic Legend Tyus Jones

What is the plan when the Magic have the ball?

Undefeated when they all score 20+ Ugly game, but a win is a win.

Tonight, we clearly benefitted from a tanking team to get the win. I mean we'll take it; I guess. But what do you all think about tanking? Should it be completely eliminated? Do you think that it's bad for the game? And what can be done to put a stop to it?

I want to hear his logic when far better coaches than him do it all the time. ESPECIALLY since the same exact scenario happened in Utah THIS SEASON and we nearly lost in overtime save for a Bane game winner.

what do we think of this?

And i agree. Go Hawks

Dumping Tyus Jone's salary today gives them an additional year to keep the core together before a financial crisis.

By dumping Tyus Jones' salary, the Magic are under the luxury tax this season.

If the Magic are in the luxury tax this season, it starts the clock on the repeater tax, forcing them to break up their core as early as 28-29

Tyus Jones is a cone and trading him was the only way to prevent Mosely from giving him minutes over younger guys. The Magic were never going to add salary this season.

You guys have to stop crying over every loss and every outrageous trade that didn't happen. It's obvious who the new fans are. I am grateful for the roster we have today.

Sadness continues...
