Fultz, Suggs, Cole, Black are all fighting for that guard positioning. I think itll be between Fultz and Cole for who will be traded. Last year Cole was very adamant about being a starter and does have better spacing than Fultz
Fultz, Wagner and Paolo all clog the paint. Paolo plays much better when Fultz is not on the court. They have no spacing with all 3 inside, especially since Franz has been. Paolo and Wagner seem to have better chemistry than Fultz/Paolo or Fultz/Wagner. Paolo cant exist with Fultz to win. In a few of the last possessions they were running into each other and messing up the plays.
I love Fultz and would love him on the Heat but he doesn't fit with the Magic imo.
The Magic desperately need 3 point shooting. They have shooters on the bench that cant seem to get playing time Harris/Houston/Howard. You can't win if 4 of your staters cant shoot 3 consistently (Fultz, Suggs, Paolo and Franz) Wendell is your best shooter and he's the 5.
They're a good young team.
With Palo and Wagner on the wings they don’t need a big time offensive center. This means upgrade at the guard position. They also need the guards to be able to shoot from 3. This would put Fultz on the block for an upgrade. He makes $17M and is expiring. The challenge becomes who can they target? Which team is going to be sellers and want to dump a guard.
Would Orlando want Anfernee Simmons from Portland or one of Utah’s bigger contract guards?? Maybe Tyus Jones from Washington?? I just don’t see a seller out there with a guard Orlando would fall in love with
