Wendell Carter seeks REDEMPTION after rough season | Orlando Magic are focused on guards?

The Orlando Magic are focused on guards this offseason it would seem. That is the direction all the reporting is going in. To do that, the team needs to have the faith that Wendell Carter will bounce back from a frustrating season. His offense disappeared, hiding gains he made on defense and a good showing in the Playoffs.

Also, the Indiana Pacers displayed the never-say-die attitude the Orlando Magic had in December. That should be a sign the Magic are not far from the kind of run that has powered the Pacers to the NBA Finals.

  1. WCJ is now like an abusive partner who treats you wrong but then shows a little love and you are convinced he or she is great for you. Sorry, but the little bit at the end was not enough to convince me and hopefully not the team. We need that effort all season.

  2. That love-hate relationship is real with this player. His showing in the playoffs is definitely gone. He's more of a regular season player, and so is Cole

  3. Dell is not good enough to be the center of this team long term. I’d even start Mo before Dell in a heartbeat.

  5. We will only be able to get rid of WCJ by dumping salary and picks maybe jett to Nets. If we can shed salary. Especially hos that will be 18 and 19 26-27 seasons will be disastrous. I just dont see them moving him witj Mo hurt. Unless we take a 1 year flyer on FA center. Biggest contracts we need to move WCJ Cole, KCP.

  6. Wendell Carter is a solid bench player 👏 but he just doesn't have that dog in him he doesn't show up every game, he doesn't have that heart and hustle enough of that bum. The Orlando magic is the reason Indiana and Okc are both in the finals without the magic making that terrible trade on draft night none of the moves both them teams made could have been possible. Victor O and Sabonis were the reason those teams were able to make those trades they made Okc would nit have SGA if it wasn't for the magic Haliburton would be on the pacers if it wasn't for the magic

  7. Rob Hennigan set the magic back 10 years with that terrible trade. This is what happens when you hire people who genuinely don't give a 💩 about the team and all they care about is the money. I love the Orlando magic so dam much I'd work for them for free

  11. He can redeem himself on another team or figure out how to contribute from the bench with a starting caliber center in front of hin
