Is Deng at least an expiring contract?

We'd probably have to take a bad contract if we wanted Ball, but then again, were doing them a favor to get Khawi.

How bad is Deng's contract?

Expires same year as Biz. 2020.

Magic fans can want whatever they want.

FTW and I rarely agree on what is best for the team. That doesnt negate his or my fandom, nor negate his or my knowledge of the game.

Deng's contract is bad. 2 more years at 18 million next year and 19 million the following year.

No, he has 2 years left and he has the same contract as Bismack and why would Magic do the Lakers any favors, Magic should be hating the Lakers

Ay caray.

So 2 seasons of horrible contracts hindering our ability to further develop the roster until they come off the books.

Call it another reason why I'm #TeamIsaiah and not #TeamLonzo

By 19 pick, you mean the Thunder pick, right?

Nope. Our 2019 pick

Is it possible to check your ID. This forum content might not be appropriate for someone under 18.

I'd do the Thunder pick, don't think we should have to do our pick.

No offense but I am glad you are not the general manager of our Magic

In this situation, the Deng fit is unimportant, as we are basically taking Ball in payment for the terrible contract. Ball's potential fit is the thing of more concern. Deng mostly just needs to be a good vet, not cause issues in the locker room, and maybe play some spot minutes.

I really hope Lonzo is working on his shot with a real shooting coach, like Bamba. 

I don't think he'd be a terrible fit either. He just wouldn't play

I'm on the Lonzo/Deng train. Deng can be a solid vet and fits the mould of our roster and he comes off the books when Biz does. But really he's just something we put up with to get Ball. I'm not sold on Balls personality as a fit for this team but he's super talented and I think moving away from LA might be better for his career.
