Also, with the new CBA i understood, that it is impossible to have 3 max players in a team. Franz and Paolo gonna get that max too. My biggest hope is to get Simons. Thats not realistic so my target is Murray. If we can’t get that done i want Tyus Jones and Kispert in a package deal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hootie249 293 Report post Posted February 5 We don't need a Young. Anyone can see we have the makings of 3 all-stars in Wagner,Suggs and Banchero. We just need make shrewd trades for the next White,Brown,Caruso or other high end role players. God forbid we really get lucky and pick up a Lopez or Middleton when anyone could have had them, just like the Bucks did many years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ball junkie 277 Report post Posted February 5 The Magic have taken less than 30% of their shots from 3-point range in each of these last three wins, having done so just six times in their first 47 games. They’re 7-2 in those nine games overall, in part because they have the league’s fourth biggest differential between their 2-point value (107.9 points per 100 shots) and their 3-point value (103.5 per 100). The Magic’s five-game trip concludes on Tuesday in Miami, where they lost an ugly one (one of 11 games this season in which both teams scored less than 100 points) last month. They’re a game ahead of the Heat for seventh place in the East (and first in the Southeast Division). https://www.nba.com/news/power-rankings-2023-24-week-16?lid=esakw5m7s5zb&cid=nba%3Adynpage%3Aown%3Aemail%3Adaily%3Alink%3Aeg%3Anl%3Aeng%3At-crm%3AUS%3Aen%3A20240205:DAILY_NEWSLETTER%3A&lctg=633b282a0715ff25d1d18831 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,421 Report post Posted February 5 The "safe" trade route would be something like CTMagicUK suggested: Anthony and Ingles and a pick for Jones and Kispert (works in the ESPN trade machine) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been high on Kispert since his college days. That boy can shoot! Jones would be an improvement as starting PG and give us a bench of Fultz, Harris, Kisbert, JI, and Mo. I like it! I'd even throw in some 2nds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harris and Cole for Tyus and Kispert works for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jones, Fultz SG: Suggs, AB, Queen, K. Harris SF: F. Wagner, Kispert, Howard, Houstan PF: Banchero, JI, Okeke C: WCJ, M. Wagner, Bitadze This team could beat anybody i feel. No playmaking issues and we’d have solid shooting around. I also like Kispert playing some minutes alongside Paolo. Paolo attracts so many defenders, Kispert as a great movement shooter would really eat. For Kispert and Tyus i’d even trade a first, probably the Denver pick. In the off season i’m bringing in Monk! Fultz going forward is a backup and possibly even third string. I’m keeping him around as a great veteran who loves the game! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trail Blazers fan here. I'm curious why you think acquiring Simons would not be realistic, and what you think a reasonable package for him would be. It's tough for us to know if we're over/under valuing our players, so it'd be nice to hear what another team's fans think he's worth. As for his availability, I agree that Cronin isn't likely to deal him, but I personally think that if our front office is committed to a rebuild with Scoot/Sharpe as the backcourt of the future, it would make sense to deal Ant now at the height of his usage and visibility. If the recent picks develop like we hope they will, Ant's trade value is only going to decrease. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Magic 1,251 Report post Posted February 6 8 hours ago, CTMagicUK said: Health permitting I think we've got a shot to pass the 76ers for the 5 seed. If we can outpace the Pacers the rest of the way. 76ers are 4-10 without Embiid this season (embarrassingly one of those 4 is against us), they needed a Maxey 50 piece to beat Utah by 3 a few nights ago. If we can finish at 5 or 6 I like our chances to at least make a Knicks or Cavs series competitive. we will beat the knicks.. Cavs is a more tricky one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
