    Barrett will average 20 a night in his sleep beginning opening night. He’s the best pure offensive talent I’ve seen in years and reminds me of T-Mac. He’s that good. I would take him a head of Zion because I’m 100% sure he translates. I think by year 2 or 3 he’s averaging close to 30. 

     

    I don't know about averaging close to 30 but I'm with you; I'd also take Barrett before Zion. ZERO doubt.

    If all they're asking is Ross + unprotected pick, i think it gets done. Not unprotected, but a compromise may be top 3 protected. Would suck to lose Ross but our bench (this year) would get Wes & DSJ. Hopefully their familiarity and chemistry with each other would translate to new team.

    It is happening!! Maybe they are just waiting til tonights game takes place to make the move as a respect to Fournier.

     

     

    Sooo I hope...

    respect for what? Let him play so he can break his leg and then the deal is off.

    If anything was imminent, the player(s) involved would be held out to protect the asset. I've seen players sit several games to make sure they don't get injured because they're in active trade talks.

    our new acronym could be BIG D if we kept our core and added dennis

    I've been seeing this alot and it's annoying. not the acronym but for the first 3, BIG, it uses the first letter of their LAST names. If we add DSJ, his last name starts with an S. why not stay consistent and use his last name too? It doesn't sound cool?.....well, don't use it then, lol.

    Not directed at you, but wanted to finally speak about it after seeing it 500 times in 12 hrs.

    Can anyone read what Kevin Pelton gave us on the trade grader? Don't have access and I'm intrigued by the perception of whom came out on top.

    Grade: B
     
    With neither player likely to play for them this season, I think the center component was actually just a way to generate the matching salary necessary to take Grant from the Bulls. Because Orlando does not have a trade exception, the team would have been unable to take on Grant's $2.6 million salary without sending anything in return. If Chicago's goal was to wipe out Grant's money completely, taking back the likes of Khem Birch or Wesley Iwundumight have been a nonstarter, or the Magic might have preferred to hang on to those players. (Orlando chose to guarantee Birch's contract last month even after drafting Mo Bamba as a backup center, which pushed Biyombo down the depth chart.)

    For a team with only D.J. Augustin on the depth chart at point guard, Grant is an interesting addition. He handed out an impressive 8.9 assists per 100 team plays last season, solidly better than the average point guard (7.6), and is a passable defender with good size for the position. If Grant can get back to the 36.6 percent he shot from 3-point range in 2016-17 rather than last year's 32.4 percent, he could be a solid backup option and a fringe starter.

    It's better for the Magic to be taking chances on low-priced former first-round picks like that than sending them away, as has happened with Maurice Harkless and Shabazz Napier in the past.
