Thank you for the kind words and recognition - Magic fan.

As a magic fan I really like Cade, Duren, Ivey and Ausar. Thanks for the flowers. Most teams just hate on us.

I want to give you props for such a fair, prepared assessment of the Magic. As a diehard Magic fan who follows the team daily I can say you really nailed it. So many on KZread miss the context of how this whole success story has gotten to where it is. Subscribing for sure! Hopefully the pistons get their ish together 🙏🏽

People are naturally impatient to see what this group can achieve this year but if Orlando is able to keep this young line-up together for the next five years, I feel like we could see something really special...

i wish you would have mentioned mo wagner and others, they have really helped contribute to the culture of the team/city. cole anthony and jalen suggs especially, they have truly brought so much energy to this team.

As a lifelong Magic fan, thanks for the praise. I still root for teams like the pistons, Thunder, and rockets because they drafted a lot of the guys I was looking for the Magic to draft.

Magic fan here. When we traded Dwight and started a rebuild it was the same time the Celtics started rebuilding. They started winning again with IT and those boys meanwhile we had Andrew Nicholson… so I get it However I learned from this current magic rebuild that it takes the coaches instilling in the players that this is a long term vision and each game is about us getting better for the long term goal and the wins and losses don’t matter right now. That’s a tough culture to build. You guys might have to clean house down to about 3 players and start over

The Chicago trade was a HUGE win for Orlando. They landed Franz with the pick and WCJ at the same time. But Orlando has drafted to perfection in culture and players that fit with eachother.. And then there is PAOLO... This team is gonna be dangerous for years to come because they're gonna stick together

Fellow Pistons fan and I agree, very envious of the Magics rebuild. It’s a very well rounded team with clear roles for most of their guys.

It’s so nice to finally get some respect as a magic fan…I’m rooting for the pistons more than any other young team on the come up! It’s only a matter of time before Cade and ausar start to figure things out and get your franchise rolling!

I feel like I just personally won the Super Bowl watching this video. It’s been so cool watching this team grow together! Magic Nation Let’s ride!!

As a Magic fan, thanks for showering the team with love! The Pistons are bettee than their record and are on the upswing themselves! Either next year or thw year after that, I wouldn't count them out of the play-in/playoffs.

Wendell Carter is underrated and also adds to the versatility they have.. Franz Paolo Carter that’s a tough line up to match up with especially how they can all run pick and rolls.. and then you have Suggs and Harris who solidify that defensive tenacity on the perimeter it’s cool to see that succeed in this modern day offensive league

As an Orlando Magic fan I feel you. We staying competitive. Didn’t understand the Bol Bol or Mo Bamba moves but they’re not making no noise anyway. If things remain, I got O-town taking the Knicks in the 1st round.

I wonder steve Clifford regret his decision leaving orlando to go coach the hornets, he said he said he doesn't wanna be part of a rebuild but is literally going through it with the hornets

They pace the game very well in the modern day game. Much patience for a young core

super thorough breakdown. Pistons have some talented young players. It was always confusing to me why they didn't take that next step as a team

Very nicely done. Go Magic!!!

Magic got two future firsts from Chicago actually. Makes it even more of a fleece.

They all thought we was stupid for our draft picks

I love your content on TikTok and I appreciate your take on my team! I’m excited for our present and even more about our future.

My man. Thank you for this video. Grew up going to Magic games in the nosebleeds…hoping this is the young core that will get us to glory. Interesting note most people don’t talk about…Coke(not a typo) Anthony is definitely an important piece of the current roster, however we had a chance to grab Maxey that year. Imagine that… Even more so Maxey fits Weltman’s type so much more than Cole (size + defensive versatility) I was sure we were adding Maxey that night. Very happy with how things have turned out. But whenever I watch Maxey cook I can’t help but wonder. Soldier on sir I’ll be watching.🫡

Appreciate the love man

magic fan here, this feels so good. pistons will be back soon🤞

Go Magic ❤

Thanks for Otown love! My wifes family is from right outside Detroit so there is a little friendly teasing when we play. It all good Detroit still has all those titles we are still trying to get our first. Im glad we are finally going in the right direction. Good luck to you! Good content too!

same. pistons fans coping hard. been watching cade hilights to feel better.

Reminds me of what the cavs did but somehow even better

I think Detroit is better than their record, it’s just some of the pieces weren’t fitting together. Don’t know what Monty Williams was doing to start the year off. Appreciate this video though. It indeed feels great to be a Magic fan atm.

Envy is a sentiment far removed from the current discourse. Both the Orlando Magic and the Detroit Pistons boast highly promising young squads, each harboring a bright future. The distinction lies in the Magic's ability to harness their roster effectively, while the Pistons currently navigate a challenging phase, striving to carve out a distinct identity. This endeavor involves key players such as Cade, Ivey, Duren, Ausar, Sasser, Beef Stew, among others. As a lifelong supporter of the Detroit Pistons, any notion of jealousy towards other NBA teams, including the Orlando Magic, is unfounded. Despite the immediate challenges faced by the Pistons organization, it is imperative to recognize the franchise's enduring legacy within the league. This legacy spans from the era of "The Bad Boys Pistons" to the "Going to Work Pistons," showcasing decades of notable achievements. The intent behind critiquing the Magic does not stem from a place of ill will but rather from a recognition of their commendable performance. I aspire to witness success for several teams-including the Thunders, Rockets, Spurs, and the Pistons-irrespective of the latter's current organizational hurdles. It is crucial to underline, however, that despite the potential success of the current Pistons squad in the 2023-2024 season, a perceptible bias against the team persists within the league.

One of the big things I ponder with sports is "what if this team was coached well?" Like, stick a great coach on the Pistons, what happens?

I've been a pistons fan my entire adult life....that being said, I'm seriously debating jumping ship. And the Orlando Magic seem a likely candidate, as they are on the course that I thought we would be on.

Never say a teams window is long. Bad juju. Usually doesn’t work

For once someone that knows what he's talking about in detail. I appreciate your clarity and authenticity.

Imagine if Isaac was a healthy player and Fultz had reached his potential. We’d be talking about a contender right now

Detroit gotta squad too they just need to get better collectively

Also Paolo never worked out for the magic and Jabari smith jr had a really good workout with them a lot of people thought Jabari was gonna go first on those indications even the day of the draft the arena had a section full of auburn fans but obviously the magic got their guy

Looking sweet in the Cougars gear.

Speaking as an Orlando fan, Detroit fans shouldn't be too down on their team as part of the difference is purely luck. The Vucevic trade ended up being gold but the Gordon trade wasn't great. That's a normal outcome. What isn't normal is to have the equal best odds to get Wemby and up with the 5th pick only 1 spot if Orlando. Don't get me wrong, front office competency is also part of this. Why go for the most expensive coach of all time when youve just had the best lottery odds? Orlando went the rookie coach route which so far has been not only better but has enabled a new culture and identity to form. Regardless, the current Detroit roster is better then their current record. Cade, Ivey, Duren and Thompson are legitimate pieces to build from.

I’d agree the Orlando Magic have done it the right way But Detroit are on the right track This offseason will be crucial n critical I love the trades they made at the deadline now the offseason will tell me if they are ready to go for the playoffs Hot take but I think they should try to acquire Kyle Kuzma imo

An interesting potential topic could be how american NBA fans/media are feeling about the amount of non-americans winning MVPs. As a European I feel very proud, but with the last 5 winners being european/African, and wemby, luka and shai yet to win one and looking more likely than anyone else to get their first over Giannis and Joker, how would US based fans feel about a decade of this? Would it be similar to Canadians feeling uneasy about American expansion in hockey? I have no idea! I adore your content, Much love from England! X
