jmmagicfan 302 Report post Posted June 16, 2023 Just for giggles - what do you think of this trade: Orlando gets: Nick Richards & pick #2 Charlotte gets: Cole Anthony, pick #6, 2024 1st round top-4 protected, 2025 1st round (Denver's pick) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 30 Report post Posted June 16, 2023 15 minutes ago, Murphy13 said: We were a much better team with Markelle. We don’t need a lead guard pg. Paolo and Franz are our distributors. We don’t need more cooks in the kitchen, we need high level role players. Scoot is a good prospect I just don’t think with where we’re at in our build that he fits. We need 3&D with length. He doesn’t provide that kind of versatility for us nor would it come quickly. His trade worth is of greater value to our team than his playing worth, in my opinion. We were but there are stats showing Fultz isn’t the best PG for Paolo. You also have to consider his history of health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,491 Report post Posted June 16, 2023 Wasserman at Bleacher Report is in the process of updating his mock (it's not updated yet even though he tweeted out that it has, or at least not for me) but I think it's going to have 6. Amen Thompson 11. Taylor Hendricks Which, honestly, is awesome. I'd be truly surprised if Hendricks made it past Dallas at 10 though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DestroidMengars 22 Report post Posted June 16, 2023 I'd love the value of getting both Amen and Hendricks while standing pat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok understand …but even before Givony commented about for us at 6 I was thinking that …he just verbalized it …I’m still holding out hope Weltham can maximize two lottery picks and find something that we are positive will work instead of having to say, ok well let’s see imo edit …positive meaning something that fits our personnel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DestroidMengars 22 Report post Posted June 16, 2023 I don't think there's anyone we could get in this draft where we'll be positive it will work and won't be, 'ok well let's see.' ' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreyMachine 399 Report post Posted June 16, 2023 3 hours ago, Jay Magic said: I honestly think this works for both teams. NO is looking to move on from Zion, where the relationship has begun to get strained as he can't stay healthy (and seemingly isn't willing to mature and try) and Charlotte's new ownership is looking to make a splash and don't really care about drama (point in case, making Lamelo Ball the face of their franchise). This is a good trade for both teams as Scoot Henderson I think makes for a greater core with CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram and is clearly the #2 in the draft over Brandon Miller - and Scoot and Lamelo's style's wouldn't gel at all. I'm giving this a 65% likelihood to get done. It makes that much sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guy has a Jordan/Kobe/Westbrook killer mentality with elite athleticism. With that said, I think it takes more than that to get Charlotte to trade the #2 pick.
