All Eyes On Me Posted May 1 Report Posted May 1 1 hour ago, orlandoholic said: I mean, of course i’d do it. But the Lakers have protected trading Reaves, even excluded him on the Doncic trade. They are gonna use him to trade for a major star player. I dunno, I think Reaves isn’t valuable as people think. Also, Pelinka in their exit interviews today said the off-season focus will be on Big men and defensive wings. Seems like there’s a pretty significant match for us to help each other out in terms of team make up. Quote

Small ball death squad of Ant/Suggs/Reaves/Franz/P5 would be lethal Very creative. I like the first one but think it’d take more. Quote

This iteration is just not going to be sustainable for this team, and no one around the organization would be surprised if there are changes coming to this roster." Jrue would most likely be the odd man out if changes are made. I wouldn't mind trading KCP + fillers in a three team trade for Jrue. I think he's a way better fit than KCP. He'd allow us to move Suggs back to the SG spot, and provide us with ball handling, play making and three point shooting. Would take a lot of pressure off Paolo and Franz, being that he played in a similar situation in Boston with Tatum and Brown. I’m all about Jrue! Quote

Think they’re gonna be trying to unload Porzingis from what their fanbase is saying. It’ll be great for Franz to get a chance to play with his son if we go get him :) Quote

hootie249 Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 We could give the Lakers a few things they need. Defensive wings and a real center. Imagine the Lakers with a former Magic center. Quote
hootie249 Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 Jrue is not the same player and would turn 35 the first year with us, also having two additional years afterward. Too expensive. even though he is the exact type of veteran we need. Unfortunately, he is getting paid way too much like Lowry and Chris Paul did after 34. It's almost always a mistake. Boston really shouldn't have caved to his agents, let them deal with it. Edit. Jrue is the type of player that the Celtics will trade. One because they are incredible at getting rid of contracts or players that mess up the books or the chemistry. No doubt the would keep him till he retired but the new NBA where you pay old players has ruined that. Mark my words they will trade him but hope it's not us.If it was just one year like Porzingus i would jump all over that contract. Quote
CTMagicUK Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 Jrue age wise concerns me a little, he's 35 and he played his lowest number of minutes in years this season, could be a sign he's trending down. Now Derrick White? I'd move mountains to get that guy. Porzingia would also be a great fit with us in theory. Quote
OnlyFranz Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 A player I’d love to target before he breaks out would be Stephon Castle. He has great size for the guard position, finishes well around the basket, can create his own shot, is no slouch on defense, and his 3 ball looks decent with plenty of room for improvement. Maybe SA trades him to acquire more established players if they have a win now mandate but definitely a player I’d be watching if I were the Magic FO. Quote

If SA believes Fox is their answer at PG and their FO decides they want to start competing for a championship starting next season it could happen but you’re right not holding my breath. Maybe we get lucky and Luka asks to be traded to Orlando! Quote
