If we do anything it should be either trading guys we don't view as long term pieces for assets or adding a complimentary piece on a team friendly deal. If we do anything....wish one of the moves we do is get a 1st RP from the Lakers. Team that after this season should be a lotto team, BUT THEY ARE IN TROUBLE WITH THEIR PICKS: 2023 first round draft pick to New Orleans (swap, New Orleans incoming) New Orleans has the right to swap its 2023 1st round pick for the L.A.

The earliest they could trade is 2026 and by then they could have rebuilt given they always attract free agents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said...."BUT THEY ARE IN TROUBLE WITH THEIR PICKS" Doesn't appear to be a possible scenario to trade with the Lakers for something material to the Magic.

I would not change our starting lineup until it isn't working anymore. Fultz/Anthony Franz/Harris or new shooter Bol/TRoss or new SF Paolo/Admiral Mo Wagner/WCJ It isn’t working anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,485 Report post Posted January 6, 2023 I'm not really necessarily into this move but I think it's worth considering, should we make a splash for OG Anunoby? Something like Ross (for salary), Chuma, Bulls pick and Nuggets pick for OG Anunoby? Fultz Franz OG Paolo WCJ Is probably a playoff team. OG is kind of like the perfect version of what you might want at the 3 if you were planning on keeping Franz at the 2 (who knows if that's the case, we might view Franz more as a 3). Big, strong, tough defender who can shoot it and play off ball. Not sure I'd offer much more than that for him. Possibly I'd be willing to do Bol over Chuma but then not the Nuggets pick or something. If they were at all interested I'd do Isaac as the salary matching in a heartbeat. OG is only 25 but realistically only has 1 year left after this 1 (+ a player option he'll almost certainly decline). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke_FfS 248 Report post Posted January 6, 2023 I would absolutely like that move, and in general like I wrote yesterday the idea of trading some depth for quality. OG fits our timeline perfectly. Not sure Toronto would be interested though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing is that Bulls pick could be the best single asset they get offered and we can offer it because we still have our own pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,485 Report post Posted January 6, 2023 And to be clear I'm not super into moving the Bulls pick. But if you feel you can get, and importantly keep long term, a player like OG Anunoby for it I kind of feel like you should think long and hard about it. Like the Bulls pick is currently what pick 9? You'd be pretty happy if your 9th pick became a wing who's an all NBA calibre defender and can shoot. Something I am a little wary of is OG's health though. Hasn't played more than 50 games since 19-20 (but he's on pace to do that this year to be fair). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm really quite off about rumours and this stuff, so I had no idea, but yes, the price is the point, especially as you indicated his lack of game played season after season... would be a great fit on our Magic just for that! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is right on the cusp of being consistent that he might meet the criteria and worthy of trading. T Ross is a career 36.2% so take that with a grain of salt he was 37.2% avg with Toronto and 34% with us so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,210 Report post Posted January 6, 2023 OG’s health history scares me when you combine it with our track record with player health. I wouldn’t give up the Bulls pick for him. Trade deadline is under 5 weeks away! Gotta imagine we do something, even if it’s small like trade Ross or Bamba for picks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrueMagicFan07 674 Report post Posted January 7, 2023 When are we going to move Cole's helter skelter, me first, inconsistent, slow getting across half court, hero ball playing self from this team. (By the way, I borrowed some of Ball Junkie's words when describing a player--any player--from a previous post) Hahaha! For the position Cole plays--backup point guard, shooting guard, whatever. I'm tired of watching him. I want to see a newbie like Caleb Houstan more and on the court with Kelle, Franz, and Paolo. He is young, has shown flashes in the few minutes he has played, and has so much potential. ***Go ahead and down vote me all you want. That's MY opinion. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
