Q5Magic Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 So who do you guys think the Magic will realistically try to trade for this off-season? http://hoopshype.com/2016/03/05/nba-free-agency-2016-the-top-players/ Quote
Fultz4thewin Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 here's the realistic targets: Point Guard: Conley is the only starting point guard upgrade. Jeremy Lin might be an interesting backup if we go that route super dark horse (a la Hennigan trading afflalo for Fournier)- Jordan Clarkson Wings: Upgrades in order of who the top targets will be: 1. Durant 2. DeRozan 3. Batum interesting backups if we go that route: Courtney lee Luol Deng Jared Dudley Bazemore but he might cost too much now Super Dark Horse- Harrison Barnes Power Forward: Don't think we go after a starter here. think we want to let Gordon grow. Backups: Dwight Powell Center: 1. Al Horford 2. Whiteside Backups- Ian Mahinmi maybe Tyler Zeller. Noah Dark Horse: Dwight Quote
Mauro Pedrosa Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 We stand pat and win 39 games next season Quote
Fultz4thewin Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 Potential guys on the trade block: Atlanta: Millsap, Teague Chicago: Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson Cleveland: Kyrie, Love, Shumpert Denver: Gallinari, Faried, Chandler Milwaukee: John Henson Minnesota: Gorgui Dieng, Shabazz New Orleans: Jrue Holiday Philly: Jerami Grant Phoenix: Chandler, Knight, Bledsoe Utah: Favors Quote

Noah Dark Horse: Dwight Level with me man... do you think there is any way Dwight wears an Orlando jersey next season? Legitimate question and not trolling at all. Quote
Fultz4thewin Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 Our GM, Bradley Cooper, had a press conference and said "we're going to be ambitious, at the same time though we'll be disciplined" i.e. we're going to go after Durant but if we fail we're not going to throw a bunch of money at Evan Turner.

Fultz4thewin Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 Level with me man... do you think there is any way Dwight wears an Orlando jersey next season? Legitimate question and not trolling at all. sure, but about the same chance as Durant coming here. A lot of things need to happen for Dwight to come back. We'd have to strike out on a lot of players, Dwight would need to take a significant pay cut, etc. Quote
Fultz4thewin Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 there's a pretty reasonable chance that our starting roster next season is something like Payton-butler-batum-Gordon-Horford. Quote
Mauro Pedrosa Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 Batum ain't leaving. I'm positive Quote
Fultz4thewin Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 Batum ain't leaving. I'm positive There's a reasonable chance they wont pay him the max considering they have MKG making 13 million and a big hole at center. EDIT: I'm also operating on the assumption that they'd rather have Marvin Williams than Batum if forced to choose. Quote
Air Gordon Posted April 14, 2016 Report Posted April 14, 2016 I'd be thrilled with Batum. I've been a huge fan of his for a long time. Question for everyone, who of the young core would you trade if we had to deal one of them to upgrade? My order from person I'd mind traded from least to most is Vucevic Payton Hezonja Oladipo Gordon Quote
Q5Magic Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Posted April 14, 2016 I would love to have Horford and and DeRozan, but I feel like we would have to overpay a lot to bring them here. Conley would be a nice fit too if we could pry him away. I'm just curious to see if Hennigcan makes a big splash this off-season or next. There's a sense of urgency within the organization and fanbase to win now but Hennigan knows theres also some talen in next years free agency as well. Quote
