Magicman28 295 Report post Posted May 19, 2017 I'd take a Fox/Smith/Monk and Tatum/Isaac sandwich please. We need to reboot this team with fresh young players with loads of potential. We don't have what they're looking for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magicdoc1 261 Report post Posted May 19, 2017 Payton.. Evan and 25th for 5th or 7th hahaha Yep. That was the reaction of most when Boggie trades were discussed, yet they did it for less. I did read somewhere Those teams were looking to trade away their picks. Maybe it was Sacramento 2nd first round pick. I figured we can offer something like our second first round pick, Payton, Fournier and future first round for their pick and bad salary back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 3rd pick isn't a bad teammate that's due for a 160 million contract Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibn Battuta 127 Report post Posted May 19, 2017 We might, MIGHT, be able to swing a deal for a 8-12 pick as I could see new York doing something like 25, Fournier and vucevic for 8 noah and lee. I could see charlotte and Detroit not wanting another rookie. I actually think that's a much better deal for NY lol. Two solid starters and a possible rotation player for a guy with lots of health issues and Lee. Who would you draft Isaac? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaVar 108 Report post Posted May 20, 2017 I like Smith, Issac, and Monk. I have a bad feeling Smith won't be there when we pick. If he is not there that would mean someone would fall to us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicFanInNevada 51 Report post Posted May 20, 2017 I really want Smith Jr. on this team. Yeah dude is a stud too. It's funny cause I remember back in like January we were thinking if we fell out of the top four we weren't going to be able to get him. Now it's looking like he'll be there for us at #6 with Fox on the rise. A few months ago sixth pick looked like a bad spot but it's looking pretty good now. In my opinion I feel like the top four will be Fultz, Ball, Jackson and Fox then it becomes really interesting after that with Smith, Tatum, Isaac, and Monk still on the board. Out of those four I think Isaac has the most upside but the other three can score really well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Neighborhood Bully 266 Report post Posted May 21, 2017 If there was a shopping list for the Magic, everything Dennis Smith possesses would be on that list. He fits the bill and could ease right into the lineup. However, he's not perfect. There are a few concerns that could use an alert. While Smith is a capable shooter, it could use some work without a doubt. Especially his free throw shooting, which was only 71.5 percent in his first college season. Smith could also be a little too relaxed on defense at times. Although, the one thing that could be the most concerning is his previous ACL injury. It was back in his high school days, but it's still something you hope doesn't come back to bite in the future. Regardless of his weaknesses he still has an All-Star caliber profile. A few days ago, Orlando actually had a workout session with him. His NC State squad actually didn't do that well, as they had a 16-17 record. Here's what Smith had to say about that. “I learned how to bounce back after a loss,” Smith told Orlando Magic Daily. “That was my first losing season ever since I started playing basketball. I know you are not going to win every game, especially in an 82-game season. I think last year was a great experience for me.” He's also said he's not afraid to back down from anybody, so right off the bat, he's got the right attitude and mentality. The Magic want players who can build a good culture, and Smith seems to be just that. There's going to be plenty more workouts and interviews Orlando will do, to make sure they won't waste their sixth pick. Nevertheless, Dennis Smith should be on their radar for a better future. https://hashtagbaske...dennis-smith-jr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
