I'm the only Orlando Magic fan who has Taylor Jenkins as the only choice for the next head coach of this team.
In his best seasons with the Grizzlies, they were a top ten team defensively, top ten in points per game, and were one of the winningest teams in the NBA.
The Knicks are considering trading Karl-Anthony Towns and have discussed potential deals with the Magic, Hornets, and Grizzlies, per @StevePopper
(h/t @RealGM )
@NbafanNoah Its because he plays with no energy, he never runs in transition and he does nothing on defense so when he is bad on offense it becomes an eye sore
Hypothetical NBA Trade, who says no:
Magic:
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Jaren Jackson Jr
Gary Harris
Bucks:
Paolo Banchero
Jonathan Isaac
Grizzlies:
Franz Wagner
Wendell Carter Jr
Amir Coffey

In general I think conditioning is what is going to determine if Paolo is perennial All-NBA or not. He’s finally getting his legs & putting up big, solid numbers. His foot speed (defense) & vertical explosion are still not there. If he gets that right he is All-NBA.
People also wont say it because hes new but Bane has been awful recently. His defense is slipping back to start of season when he was terrible and he gets so many open looks he doesnt knock down and is addicted to getting blocked at the rim
@MagicFilmRoom Nice to see his bounce is getting back these past few games but he needs to finish more of these bunnies at the rim. He has been a cone on defense dating back to the "good" stretch too. Def not a perfect player, you think he can be the best player on a championship team?
Criticism is fair. Overreactions and acting like "this is always the player he has been" is unfair.
He isn't perfect but it is funny what samples are acceptable and unacceptable to certain people.
Boy, do the Magic need Franz back. Everything is just off kilter without him.
Also, Tyus Jones is a prime trade candidate, even if it’s just a tax-avoidance move. Just hasn’t been productive in Orlando.
@KeithSmithNBA Tyus as one of the primary ball handlers today had zero turnovers in a team that had 19. His numbers might not be in the box score, but the presence is there
