September 09, 2016 Confused by the Magic's strange summer? So are Magic fans
Zach Oliver and Cory Hudson from SB Nation's Magic blog Orlando Pinstriped Post join the show to talk about the Magic's baffling summer. Why are they making so many moves that don't make sense together? Bismack Biyombo? Jeff Green? Is there any reason to expect that this strange roster actually comes together? Who is supposed to score on this team? Can Aaron Gordon at least make a jump into stardom?
We also talk about Orlando's awful new alternate uniforms, declining stadium experience and why they need a sponsored giveaway to encourage the team to get to the free-throw line. Plus, Zach compares the team's summer to bitter craft beers over-stuffed with hops. Everything's going GREAT in Orlando.
