orlandoholic 137 Report post Posted July 1, 2023 2 minutes ago, CTMagicUK said: That Wagner deal is a huge overpay. I'm guessing it's a "we've got nothing else to spend this money on here have it" type deal. i feel like they are punting this FA class and maximizing their cap space for next years class.. J. Brown, D. Murray, Sabonis, Siakam possibly hitting FA and the overall class seems better.. They could add a max and also fit Cole Anthony/Fultz extension But that’s just guessing.. I didn’t see good additions in this years FA class. I’m still just hoping for a trade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ball junkie 277 Report post Posted July 1, 2023 So if Shaedon would have been in this years draft he would have been ranked right up there with the big dogs …Sharpe just turned 20 …so basically Portland has 2 of the best prospects of the last 2 years …so all is not lost for them with the trading of Lillard .

Yeah.. it looks like 2 years from now they are wanting money coming off the books... at that time his expiring contract can actually have value in a trade too.. Looking ahead is probably a good thing.... when we have a bunch of very young kids right now... that need to get on the court and make mistakes and figure out how to win... I really don't think 23-24 is going to be our year to play at a championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think they will trade Dame... just because he asked??? I wouldn't be surprised if Portland starts 5 point guards on opening day.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're taking care of Mo as a feel-good effort for Franz to continue to think well of Orlando and our management. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well you never know with Portland... But why do you figure Cronin didn't trade him 2 years ago when they knew they were going to tank out and rebuild... It almost never works out in your favor to wait until a player is so disgruntled that they are screaming for the rest if the league GMs to come save them... I think Dame wants to compete on a competitive team. Lol... I suppose at least he doesn't have a "No Trade" clause like Washington gave Beal... so they retain rights to worst GM /front office award ... for now... Kind of makes you appreciate being a Magic fan.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
