    How are there still 9 days until the deadline?! My own trade deadline hopes: We get at least 1 FRP for Evan Fournier We get something of positive value for Birch We manage to include Gary Clark in a trade as filler which opens up a roster spot We might make more moves than that but if we don't i'd still consider it to be a win if we accomplish those 3 things.

    Probably you're right in the sense that we're not going to convince each other. But what about the other point I'm making recently? If management is convinced, like you and a lot of others, that Nik could be THAT player, what they're waiting for? Surround him with better talent, fit, and make a run when everyone will be healthy again. Trade the expirings for a better player... even future picks if necessary... do...SOMETHING! Just make that decision and find a way out to that limbo we're living in those last few years. Nik is not getting any younger, and even that window is closing if they evaluate a few more time.... Everytime I consider that Nik is not the right guy, I'm not hating him... he's just in the middle of an awful situation, for him personally and for the team we love... the focus of the problem IMO is, and has always been, FO.

    I'm going to go even further, the Magic, even in the best circumstances have to make serious financial decisions this summer. If they make no trades before the draft, almost anything they do will have no leverage. Most likely we will be simply cutting people with no plan but simply hoping everything works out. No real point guard on the roster? Hope Fultz has a miraculous recovery and makes up for 3 years of hardly any playing time. Evan simply expires? Great his contract covers the rise of Fultz and Isaac but we didn't trade for a cheap young pg with potential. Gordon on the last year of his contract? Everyone is healthy and we have 5 forwards, where is the leverage? Sad to see most other teams have a basic excel spreadsheet and at least a little relationship with other teams GM's willing to work with them. It's like our GM's are Danny Ainge without the balls or success or even the 4 or 5 decisions he got right! Nah, we good no need to trade for cap space or a young player who might work out Draft? No problem, we just buy magazines that tell us who to pick! SMDH
