J Roc Baby 24 Report post Posted January 24 6 hours ago, CTMagicUK said: Not interested in Lavine personally. Same. The Magic might just wind up doing better by simply having lottery luck or even finding quality in the pick Chicago gave them. Hard pass. I'd rather figure out how Suggs and Anthony fit into the scheme because Franz, Fultz, Carter Jr, Banchero and Isaac are basically "duh" as the starting 5. I'm at the point where if they did absolutely nothing but THEN made off-season moves once they knew the draft order I would be fine with it because you can part ways with a guy like Ross and Bamba any time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bamba's next season is not yet guaranteed, so we have until about the end of June to either guarantee it for the $10.6M, or he becomes a free agent as well. If we trade either (or both) before the trade deadline we can potentially walk away with something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes agreed I’d be happy with Curry or Trent Jr on this team, they are exactly what we are needing from the SG spot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Natesroom 197 Report post Posted January 25 I feel like curry is more likely to take less to pry away and wont affect us long term and is more efficient in shooting which is what will propel us forward. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
