    My exact thoughts as always. We need ballers, i see a guard and a forward if we keep both picks. No sense of talking about the top 5 players until the lotto. The way it's looking unless we pick at number two i'm calling a forward with the first pick. Size still gets drafted and the late lotto forwards seem to have moved up in all the mocks. I love Cason because those Kentucky guards just produce. Unless we fall in the Thompson range, i can't see our gm's passing on Whitmore,Walker or even Hendricks if they have the chance. Can take a chance on many guards with the Bulls pick.

    I want us to pick the BPA that can shoot. I wouldnt mind trading both picks  (if they are 9 and 11) up to get gradey

    I apologize if I given you that sensation, but if you read my message back, it was only a confirmation of what CT wrote, and I was actually pointing out the general situation of the forum (I imagine not only the Orlando Magic one, all fans probably do the same) in hoping to get superstar players for "cheap". I've actually mentioned Jaylen cause was one of the most recent ones, but every season and every year there's such a (normal) tendency.

    I'm convinced your proposal would not be enough for Dallas, not even close, but I could clearly be wrong. To pry Doncic from them right now they would probably need the assurance of the n1 pick to take Wemb, and who knows if they value him enough? Without him included, more picks, or specifically more talent (Wagner or Banchero) would be necessary IMO.

    I wasn't upset so I appreciate your calm response, and your additional information written blow is exactly the kind of discussion I'd love to have because you were very clear, concise, and your opinion was that you don't think that that would be enough. And that's perfect... I would be willing to trade the number one pick and paolo if that's what it took to get. Luca but I definitely would trade less pics if I was trading both those lol

    About the first line, I love how almost all trades proposed in the forum doesn't include our key players, same happened with Jaylen and others, as we're able to get superstars without giving up our best talents at all.

    I agree about the second part too, and actually could be better for us (in the hipothetical dream) as we'll hopefully look a lot more competitive and enciting for other players in a season or two.

    I disagree. Your statement specifically calls me out as if i am living on another planet. If you have some optional idea that you think would be the asking price of an upset doncic in dallas (who is rumored to have a close relationship with our coach) then by all means give me your opinion. I see alot of these superstar trades you mention and the asking price is alot, however almost all of the historical trades DO NOT have multiple picks traded in the same upcoming draft. That is what makes the value of the draft pick and salary matching games.

    My suggestion is if a team had a sure bet of a #1-3 (if we get one of those) and a chicago #10 in this upcoming draft is Supremely more valuable then the promise of the Magics Pick in 2024, 2026, and 2028 and 2030 and some additional players. that is how most superstar trades value goes for. Example KD traded for (unprotected 23,25,27,29 picks) and three rotation players. My suggestion was we could send two top ten picks this year and future first (which is three picks already) additional 2nds this year and next, and players to make salary. That is exactly what it cost for durant. (im not gonna debate youth/age/experience/promise yes i understand those all shape the decisions) I would think Dallas would love to take JI who might be great, but they can cut for 1mil and use that money, plus fultz was my suggestion but they have Kyrie so maybe they dont need a guard. I would trade Paolo if they wanted him as i think Luka and franz would be much better in the end then franz and paolo (even though F&P could be great, not doubting that)

    just read article on OMD detailing possible Doncic complications in Dallas.

    Hypothetical setup to pry him loose from dallas? If the off season came around and we had the #2 or #3 or #4 pick plus chicago #10 - i would package both of those and Fultz and Isaac for salaries (even though i bet you they waive him in january) also i would send a couple seconds and possibly next years pick. I think thats about the best scenario they might get across the league - heck i might even do it if we got the #1 pick (50/50 on that)

    Paolo is 1 for his last 27 from distance and 28% for the year.  Fultz is at 30% and Suggs 31%.

    this is what i feared he was and everyone was giving me grief when i was calling out his 3pt %, cause he then went on a great stretch where he was shooting like 40% and it lifted his % from 26% up to 32% back down now to 28%
