    Luck is always needed (Olajuwon/Yao/Harden etc...

    But I think this is a really deep draft and you can find really good type players in the 8-10 range if you do your homework.( Herro, Bridges/If you get lucky Giannis) If you happen to get a top 4 pick even better.

    That kind of thinking will literally land us with 10 years of Knicks hell.

    Magic did not get the memo.



    Even Magic media and fans are pleading for upgrade to wing shooters.

    Is Aaron Gordon turning point? This is where you turn the corner. He a young big man (25) who would work well with Christian (25). I think you pick him up and draft your superstar come draft time.

    Dipo, House, Ben and 2 first (From the Nets) to Magic in Exchange for Gordon.

    * Also you can just sit both players out this year to soldify that draft btw. Both are hurt and could use the rest for next year, and you get your top 4 pick.

    So, we’ll have essentially traded Harden and House for Gordon, a Nets’ FRP, and a Bucks’ FRP? No thanks.

    Serious question, Is KPJ really as good as the people on this thread are thinking? It seems like people are acting like he is James Hardens replacement, and will be part of a big 3, lol I have not seen him play much at all in the NBA, and he was a late 1st round pick, correct? What did I miss, was he averaging 50ppg in d league? Ignoring any character issues, does he really have that level of potential? Sounds like Royce White all over again, I hope this is not an accurate comparison, but why would a team like Cleveland give up on a guy so easily when they could use him for their own rebbuild?

    he's the most talented prospect the Rockets have had since Yao.

    If you ignore character issues he probably goes top 5 in his draft class.

    He led the G league in scoring and left on a 6 game winning streak. Had the only triple double in the g league. Had multiple 10 asts games. He was able to showcase his elite handle & shot creating ability. Played good on ball defense there were multiple times he just ripped his defender and dunked it on the other end. He showed he has a high celling as a 20 year old. Will definitely be more enjoyable to watch then our other guards.

    Jalen Green is unanimous top 4 player in this draft.



    Porter rookie season with Cavs, averaged 10 points playing back up SF.

    I pushed for Ouber and Otto Porter until I gave up....then Wiz traded or let them walk.

    I've pushed for Aaron Gordon for two years and gave up at the end of last season.....watch them trade him.

    I give @D-rock high marks for persistence
