In fact, that was the prevailing sentiment IIRC. I did not want trae either... I wanted Luka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmmagicfan 302 Report post Posted June 2, 2022 Just some interesting dates for this summer's activities: 6/23/22 NBA draft 6/29/22 Qualifying offer deadline for Mo Bamba & Bol Bol (Brazdeikis/Schofield?) 6/30/22 Guarantee deadline for Moe Wagner 8/2/22 Free Agency pursuit 8/6/22 Free Agents may be signed So looking at these dates, I am willing to bet that no move will be made to either make Qualifying Offers to Bamba/Bol or to Guarantee Moe Wagner until after the draft; because this front office will not give anyone that additional information. They do like to play everything close to the vest, and making those moves might signal what we are/are not doing in the draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted June 2, 2022 If I had to guess: Bamba - Sign and trade but we don't get anything exciting Bol - We resign him to something cheap unless a team offers him a decent deal Mo Wagner - we guarantee his deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For us to do a sign & trade with Bamba I think we would have to offer him the Qualifying Offer, which for him is almost the same as the full MLE ($10.1M v. $10.3M). There are only about four other teams with Cap Space to offer him more than that. There are only a few others that could even offer the full MLE. I'm just not sure there is a market for Bamba to get that. I think if we want him, we offer the QO, but try to get him a multi-year for something like 4/$36 with team options and/or non-guaranteed in years 3-4. I just don't see how you go much more than that for him. I think we're bidding against ourselves there. If he won't sign for the 4/$36, we let him play the one year on the QO as a "make or break" year. If someone else actually offers more, we have a decision to make; I just don't see it happening. Bol's QO is only about $2.7M. I think that might be worth doing on a make/break. I think we offer him something in the 4/$10, again with team options/health clauses, probably non-guaranteed in years 3-4; and if someone offers him more, you let him walk. Wagner - I agree, you guarantee this deal, as the value is obvious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m a big believer in his attitude and commitment, but boy does his shot need to come around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicFanDan 122 Report post Posted June 3, 2022 I feel like we have a group of players that have great chemistry and embrace hard work. I believe this hard work, mixed with being healthy is going to lead to a big jump in production next year for multiple players. However I think the most notably jump will be from Markelle. I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibles for him to win MIP next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
