Heck no!    Bamba still doesnt look ready to be a full time starter.   Let him back up Vuc and play with him a little.  When the time comes and Mo is ready then you trade Vuc 

 

Should’ve dealt him back then.

Looks like they are re-signing him after all.   2 yr/21M or so

[ATXbronco 4062]

Yay!

I'm not sure any Magic fan expects Bamba to be on the team after the trade deadline in three weeks.

But I still like the fella.

Here we've got a jersey swap tonight between Bamba, Jaxson Hayes and Bol Bol

Bamba & Hayes on the right hugging it out

And I must include one more shot of Bol Bol (spelled b.o.o.b.s.)

[Blotto 23491]

The league needs more Bol Bol

Bamba just punched fucking punk Austin Rivers.

Doesn't wanna get traded this week I guess hahah

 

[ATXbronco 4062]

Five ejections so far, including Jalen Suggs who just tried to break up the fight.
And Jalen had both his High School basketball AND his high school football jerseys retired earlier that day at the local high school. 

What did you start, Bamba

I love that look on Fultz moments before Bamba jumps up and pops Rivers in the face

[ATXbronco 4062]

The lead-up...

 

[ATXbronco 4062]

"Why you mad"

"he stuck his tongue out at me"

[shadow_operative 15932]

according to Woj, Bamba told Rivers, "you talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded", and he just lost it. 

[hobbes2702 13029]

Seriously though I can’t hate much on Bamba here. Who approaches a player sitting in the bench?

[shadow_operative 15932]

austin rivers does not look like marcellus wallace.

[ATXbronco 4062]

 

[Reynolds Woodcock 4739]

Looks like Bamba got a two piece and Rivers may have touched his face while flailing. You hate to see it

[SilasCoade 2622]

So Rivers is the clear aggressor, coming into the bench area well beyond the flow of the game and getting into Bamba's face but Bamba gets an extra game off? How's that make sense?

People are way too quick to call Bamba a bust.  Getting a great player at the #6 pick isn't actually very common.  If he ever makes an All-Star game, he will be one of only 3 players picked 6th in the draft to accomplish that feat in the last 20 years.  

I still think he has a very good shot at landing on some All-Defense teams or possibly even earning DPoY.  

Here are other 6 picks:

• 2019 Jarrett Culver – Minnesota - Meh so far
• 2018 Mohamed Bamba – Orlando - Meh so far 
• 2017 Jonathan Isaac - Meh so far
• 2016 Buddy Hield – New Orleans - Average starter on bad team
• 2015 Willie Cauley-Stein – Sacramento - Career role player
• 2014 Marcus Smart – Boston - 2x All-Defense. Solid contributor
• 2013 Nerlens Noel – New Orleans - Career role player
• 2012 Damian Lillard – Portland Trail - All NBA, Future HOF
• 2011 Jan Vesely – Washington - Bust. Out of 3 years
• 2010 Ekpe Udoh – Golden State - End of bench player
• 2009 Jonny Flynn – Minnesota - Bust. Out of NBA in 3 years
• 2008 Danilo Gallinari – New York - Solid starter for many years
• 2007 Yi Jianlian – Milwaukee - Bust. Out of NBA in 5 years
• 2006 Brandon Roy – Minnesota - All-NBA
• 2005 Martell Webster – Portland - Career role player
• 2004 Josh Childress – Atlanta - Career role player
• 2003 Chris Kaman – L.A. Clippers - 1x All-Star, solid contributor
• 2002 Dajuan Wagner – Cleveland - Bust. Out in 4 years
• 2001 Shane Battier – Memphis - 2x All-Defense. Solid contributor
• 2000 DerMarr Johnson – Atlanta - Career role player

Bamba wishes he had the career of Hield. He is a ginormous vagina for coming off the bench to fight a player. What an embarrassment.

rivers came off the court to confront a seated bamba who proceeded to throw zero punches. but other than that, dynamite post.

Mo was fine here but LOL at him being above Buddy Hield in any way shape or form.

Bamba was being disrespectful to Rivers on multiple occasions during the game. Rivers went to see about it and things escalated. 

Both were wrong. Looks like Bamba threw the first punch as well.

oh no, an opposing player is chirping at you! better leave the court to go start a fistfight with him! 🙄 

i still haven't seen where bamba threw any punches at all, much less the first punch, but if he did then good. i know that most of the people here have never been in a fight in their lives, but when someone brings a fistfight to your door you don't stand around waiting for him to throw the first punch. rivers is a pussy, it is known.

Buddy isn’t an All-Star by any stretch but he’s a serviceable player and a great shooter. Bamba has yet to really do anything.  

[HookEm 2463]

Bamba is second only to Vince Young in the list of Longhorns who were drafted into horrible positions.  He has been criminally underused and underdeveloped his whole NBA career.

Should’ve traded him a few years ago. Will still never understand why they drafted him with Vucevic then traded Vucevic only to pair him with Birch, Carter and now Bol. Hope he gets some room to run with the LeBrons.
