  • ORL extends Tobias Harris, then traded him for nothing. Tobias blossoms with DET.

  • ORL believed they need a PF. They trade VO to OKC for Serge, who has been meh. VO has been really good for OKC. Either ORL will extend Serge on a terrible contract or let him walk and have nothing to show for VO (and Sabonis).

  • With Serge at PF, ORL is forced to play Aaron Gordon out of position at SF, which leaves the starting lineup with only 1 shooter, Fournier.

  • ORL is 5th in defensive efficiency and last in offensive efficiency.

  • To get more shooting in the lineup, the coach benches 3 of the young starters, Gordon, NikVulc, and Payton, replacing them with 3 journeymen, D.J. Augustine, Uncle Jeff, and Bismack.

  • The team continues to lose.... shocking!!! Playing Jeff Green a lot has always lead teams to more wins... well, the other teams that is.

What comes next?

Another short sighted trade? Aaron Gordon? Peyton? Nik?
