I mean, you can call it my opinion, but it's like saying "I respect your opinion that the sun is warm" or "I respect your opinion that Blaine Gabbert > Tom Brady".

 

Paul George:

2x All NBA third team.

2014 NBA 1st team All-Defense.

9th place in 2014 MVP voting.

Starter (pre-injury) for USA Olympic team.

 

Lance Stephenson:

You don't have to be so stubborn. You can say that "oh yeah, I forgot about Paul George". There really is no logical reason to say that anyone but Paul George was the best player on the Pacers last season.

I love George. He was a stud on my fantasy team last year. I didn't forget about him.

I cant wait for Oladipo to get back with the Magic.  It's hurting big time right now.

Would you agree that George, pre-injury, was one of the top 10 or 20 players in the NBA? 1st team all defense, 2x third third team All-NBA, 9th place in MVP voting.

 

Do you think Stephenson should have finished higher than George in MVP voting?

Can the Magic get number two tonight? Home with Minnesota, Let's go boys!

I used to get updates from the Magic telling me about game day, halftime score, and final score...I don't get them anymore.

 

I wish I would.

Josh, any word on Kyle O'Quinn?

Same old news. I haven't heard much word on when he'll be back. I can't imagine it will be long.

Evan Fournier is playing out of his mind. I'll give Hennigan credit, almost all of his trades have looked like head scratchers in the beginning but end up looking real good. Vuc, Tobias, and Evan all look like steals.

This team is only going to get better. Young, and talented.

Magic fans, do you think Van Gundy will be able to turn Detroit into a competitor in a couple years? He's modeling this team after his Howard-era Magic with a player who projects to be very much like Howard.

I would assume so. Everywhere he has gone he has done wonders. I really wish Orlando never fired him, it was just a last ditch effort to try and keep Dwight.

What do you think they do with Smith, Drummond, and Monroe?


I understand starting them all because they are so much better than any other option but it's not an ideal fit.

Hopefully trade Smith because he could be a good piece on the right team. It just sure as heck isn't the Pistons.

I imagine thats what will happen too. I've been watching a decent amount of detroit basketball and Drummond seems off. I mean he still has those moments that make him seem like he's playing against children. Forgot who he dunked on but my goodness.


Brings me to this. Would you trade Drummond and play Smith at the 4 with Monroe playing the 5? It seems crazy, not sure Id do it, but the lineup of Jennings,KCP, butler, smith, and Monroe has been way better than Jennings,KCP, smith, Monroe, Drummond. The only category, predictably, that is outperformed is rebounding %. I don't know if id pull the trigger because Drummond has insane upside but was something I started thinking about and wanted to get a detroit fans thoughts.
