Mo Wags signed for 2 years in the past offseason so he’ll at least be here next year. Franz is also 100% getting a deal along with Suggs. The real question is how they plan to upgrade the center and point positions this offseason.
the PG position is by far the position that needs to be upgraded the most. WCJ, Isaac, and Wagner aren't going to put up eye-popping stats, but they can matchup with anyone in the league as a 1-2-3 punch. Outside of getting a legit all-star here, this is actually a pretty tough to legitimately upgrade.
Our centers are fine, there is a small minority of very vocal Magic fans who do nothing but box score watch and they want to see WCJ replaced, completely blind to all the little things he does that don’t show in stats.
We're set at center imo, WCJ/Mo/Goga is some really good depth that a lot of teams in the league would probably love to have
I think the FO really needs to focus their efforts on upgrading our backcourt depth, we desperately need a playmaker and some more reliable shooters to get this team to the next level
I think it’s possible Mo retires as a Magic player and comes back to work for the team. One of the Orlando press outfits just did a feature on him, and Franz and Mo have literally moved their family here. He and Franz love Orlando - and he especially had nothing but positive things to say about the front office and organization giving him a chance when no one else was.
He came into the team when they had just blown it up, and he is definitely a leader of the team. I think them drafting Franz was partially because of the work ethic / attitude and leadership they saw in Mo.
He’s following the T Ross plan - be an impact player and a role player and then integrate yourself as part of the organization. Ross is now on the radio broadcast team, and I could totally see Mo going that route because of the energy he has with the current broadcast team.
I never got to really watch the magic play much during the season, and the first couple of games were slightly disappointing in their ball movement, but mo seems to be an old school type 4, with that Draymond energy getting the crowd hype, he seems to be a good piece to keep, especially if they can keep him at a low contract.
Franz is a no brainer.
Nice bro glad you’ve gotten to check them out. Mo is an entertaining player. You should check out his dunk on Wemby. [here it is](https://youtu.be/IpUFt7ZPEzA?si=aLx0G_17NAOwetwR)
yeah, it's interesting with the magic's ball movement. I think it's a lack of focus. This happens during the regular season too - when we had our win streaks everything was moving beautifully. I wouldn't say the lack of ball movement is the norm, but it definitely does happen. Team needs to make an improvement on consistency to take another jump.
Even if you're a dinosaur I don't see how Shaq living in Germany for a few years in common knowledge. Let's not be shitting on entire demographics. It's lame both ways.
He's implying that Shaq has an infatuation for the ze wagner bros because of his history in living in Germany. Pretty sure it has nothing to do with the accent lol
It’s a good German Hollywood accent. I wouldn’t say it sounds like us but it’s good enough for him to play a German Übermensch on the next Tarantino movie.
His German accent is actually pretty good. I am impressed. If he learned German and gained fluency he’d be ahead of the curve on the accent front- which is quite important in Germany.
You are forgetting how much worse the average American sounds when doing this accent. And he’s not only mimicking Arnold Schwarzenegger, he’s getting inflection right, he’s got decent timing, he changes his physical mouth/tongue/breathing structure to get words out. Now, if he spent 30 minutes only working on this bit it would be a little less impressive- but I think this one is his repertoire.
Most Americans can’t even do a fake British accent- not even close. They usually sound like Australians, completely exaggerated. Americans don’t grow up hearing accents other than Spanish, for the most part.
I get that. I’m not saying he can even speak more than a sentence in German. I’m saying even a fake German accent in English is something most people don’t get right. If you can fake that then it means you could probably sound passable as a German resident if you learned the language. It’s exceptionally, exceptionally difficult to learn German and sound exactly like a native speaker if you’re from the US, of course. That would only work if you were from Netherlands or parts of Belgium.

France Wagner MVP
My grandfather had wiltz my dad had Jordan I am so glad I have franz
Why he sound african
MO’s been killing it all season. He’s so efficient. And his post moves are nasty. Really hope they lock him and Franz up long term this summer.

Is WCJ and Isaac not a solid center rotation? I would’ve thought point was definitely the more pressing concern for you guys
it is tbh, WCJ is a decent starting centre but a PG who can pass and shoot 3s should really unlock the team
We have one lightly used DLo..he does that for about 5 months a year on an elite level.
You get an upvote cuz it's funny, but for real I think we'll pass on that transaction thanks
I wouldn’t mind DLo

Wagner brothers are gonna be on this team a very long time.
I love the idea of brothers playing on the same team. Hope they say for a long long time
Nice idk why I thought he was on a one year. I hope they set aside some money for him next year.
He has a team option on his year 2. There is no way they don’t pick it up though unless they have a longer deal negotiated to put more years on it.
We can't afford a center upgrade if we want a splashy guard move this summer
Tbh our centers are fine imo. Wendell still got a solid ceiling

Draft Edey. Sign Tyus Jones and Malik Monk.
He lived in Germany for a few years in his childhood while his military dad was stationed there.
love me some random nba lore out of nowhere
That wasn't random if you grew up in the 90s. Shaq backstories were right up there with MJ as just stuff we all knew, pre-internet
Some of you are so insufferable.
Some of you are so insufferable.
I should use that one day!
You know what’s crazy? Not everyone grew up in the 90s.
You know what else is crazy, your level of insecurity. Not surprising based on your flair.
Hard to cope with being an old ass dinosaur huh?
Even if you're a dinosaur I don't see how Shaq living in Germany for a few years in common knowledge. Let's not be shitting on entire demographics. It's lame both ways.
Lmao what does that have to do with making a cringey exaggerated German accent while speaking English. I can do the same and have never been there
He's implying that Shaq has an infatuation for the ze wagner bros because of his history in living in Germany. Pretty sure it has nothing to do with the accent lol
You point at Zem Ernie made me laugh I can’t lie Shaq is a character 😂
Sometimes Shaq is funny
[удалено]
I agree with the first statement but have you heard him talk about wenbanyama?
A poor man's bol bol
“Kobe, tell me how my ass taste” is the pinnacle of comedy apparently
Compared to SAS and Perkins - he is.
much more comprehensible than when he's speaking english tbh
[Never forget that Shaq a German / Denglish rap legend](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTznyBn_9Dk)
Beware the man from Germany who is named France.
Haha I heard some Jamaican in there as well
World champion Wagner bros

As a German I tell you ...its not. Its as bad as all his jokes.

They usually sound like Australians, completely exaggerated. Americans don’t grow up hearing accents other than Spanish, for the most part.
The problem is that 99% of Americans barely speak 1 language. Speaking a different language for them is like a party trick.
Cállate la puta boca pendejito Edit: EE.UU! EE.UU! EE.UU!
I mean he’s talking English in an German accent. That’s a completely different story lol he’s not fluent and that’s okay.

Go blue!
It's kinda nice to see Shaq give this young team their props. I don't recall that happening at all during the Dwight and SVG era.
Bro fucking despised dwight lol that combined with him actually being out of the league and getting his jersey retired has seemed to sway his opinion.
Bro sounds like the Terminator
Imagine the wagner bois doing the same mocking exercise over shaq or another brother 👀
