This is the first of what should be several episodes where I focus on one or a few players from each team as guys who the Magic are, could, and/or should be targeting to acquire this offseason. Let’s make our way to Portland. Anfernee Simons. He has to be the #1 most discussed Magic rumored target at the moment. Hometown Orlando guy. He’s named after my favorite basketball player of all time (Anfernee Hardaway). He was at the Celtics series at Kia Center. Simons would certainly help resolve our offensive problems. 

All of that and more!

In an offseason where the Magic don’t have the ability to pay much for free agents, we have to trade our way to improvement. I can’t think of a bigger potentially available target than Giannis Antetokounmpo. NBA champion, multi-time MVP, he’s won Defensive Player of the Year. He’s been the face of the NBA for the past few years, whether American media recognizes that or not. He’s again an MVP finalist this season. He’ll be 31 years old in December. Still his prime. I want Gianni to be a one NBA team player. Gianni wants to stay a Buck. But he also wants to win more NBA championships. Milwaukee can’t offer that now. There’s no Jrue Holiday deal to be made. They’re capped out and out of assets to trade. They have no picks to send out. So if Gianni wants another NBA title in the next few years, he’s going to have to orchestrate a trade somewhere. And I don’t know of a better destination for him than Orlando. 

All of that and more!

The Hindsight

Draften og den helt store bølge af signings i Free Agency er overstået, og dermed har vi nu et ganske godt billede af, hvordan de enkelte hold kommer til at se ud, når 2025-sæsonen bliver sparket i gang til september. Men hvem har egentlig vundet Off-Season? I næste uge vurderer vi NFC-holdene, men i denne episode zoomer vi ind på de 16 AFC-mandskaber og kommer med en vurdering af, hvor godt de egentlig er sluppet igennem de seneste måneders forsøg på at opgradere. Vi runder også et par nyheder – blandt andet er rookierne godt i gang med at skrive under på deres første NFL-kontrakter – og pick nr 1 Cam Ward kommer ikke umiddelbart til at gå sulten i seng. Vært: Thomas Qvortrup. Medvært: Claus Elming.

AFC Offseason-karakterer 2025

We got a look at how our future stacks up against the present in the playoffs. Paolo and Franz versus Tatum and Brown. Our stars overall outplayed their champion stars. The difference was the supporting casts. Now we’re getting a good look at what happens when your title winning team has to be torn down because of Collective Bargaining Agreement restrictions. Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, and Kristaps Porzingis all can be had in trades because the Celtics need to get below the second apron. Tatum is only 27 years old and tore his damn Achilles. That used to be something that only happened in your mid-30s and later in life. Now it’s happening to MVP-level guys in their prime. Which for our front office should be heeded as a warning to not wait when you have two stars ready for much more. Should we go after a Celtic?

All of that and more!

UK Packers Podcast - OTAs - 1st June

I sidste uge handlede det om AFC-konferencen, og nu er det så blevet tid til at få bedømt de 16 hold i NFC og deres offseason. Hvilke hold har forbedret sig mest, og hvilke hold har gjort det knap så overbevisende? Det får du en række bud på, og i næste uge får du så en frisk Power Ranking for hele ligaen i det sidste show før sommerferien. I denne udsendelse runder vi også nyheden om, at ”The Chain Gang” på sidelinjen måske så småt er ved at blive gjort arbejdsløse, og så taler vi selvfølgelig om det dansk-svenske ELF-hold, Nordic Storm, der nu er 3-0, efter at de i deres første hjemmekamp i weekenden smadrede Berlin Thunder med hele 35-0!

It seems like Cleveland media is trying to get Darius Garland dealt away for Jalen Suggs. The Magic need point guard help, but would this make sense? Are there any other Cavaliers player targets? Plus, a bit more Orlando Magic rebrand merchandise talk and a dislike of cursive. 

All of that and more!
