Captain 24 Report post Posted January 31, 2017 Lets diagnose this in real time. we have it on good authority that we want young players and picks for Ibaka. We have rumors that San Antonio is interested in Ibaka Who's the youngest player on San Anotonio? Murray. therefore "the magic have asked san Antonio about Murray in an Ibaka deal" I would take something centered around that deal if indeed that is a real possibility Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted January 31, 2017 Awful. Other than McCollum, Portland has nothing to offer I don't think aminu (and vonleh for cap purposes), their 2017 pick and Cleveland's 2017 pick (which they own) would be terrible. Get another good defensive combo F that can help Gordon develop without killing us while costing basically nothing. their pick is contained in a nice spot #10 at best, 16th at absolute worst.

I like Vonleh but I think Gordon is better suited at PF. I would love to have 2 picks this year though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magicman28 295 Report post Posted January 31, 2017 Love it how other team's fans think we should just give Ibaka away for nothing because he's a rental. Yeah well if you feel that way, just sign him outright then NEXT year and good luck with your odds of winning this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warren, Alex Len, their 2017 first-round pick, and they may also include some of the Miami future first-round selections" http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/1715/demarcus-cousins They want a PG and this is the draft to get one.

Ibn Battuta 127 Report post Posted February 1, 2017 I'm OK with Evan Turner provided they add some good picks. He's a good player when he has the ball in his hands, not so much when he doesn't. In the current situation I'd rather have Lillard and McCollum handling the ball. It does create another issue in that Fournier and Turner and Hezonja will have to fight for minutes but maybe that's a good thing. Also allows Gordon to go back to the 4 where he belongs.

magicdoc1 261 Report post Posted February 1, 2017 to be fair, it's not like we should be happy about this. If he's going to go out and give 70% he should just sit out. Though that would hurt his trade value. So maybe we're just pushing him out there to keep his value up. Not happy at all. I think we need to trade him sooner than later and I think he wants that as well. He is not giving us anything at the moment other than likely affecting his trade value like you said.

Turner is considered to be one of the worst current contract in the league. I refuse to have 2 of the top 5 worse contracts next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
