Figured might as well just label it both since the start is like a month away. Things are heating up! CP3 to the suns, harden linked to the nets, draft in a couple days, it's gonna be a whirlwind of a season.

Orlando Magic community is so crazy right now. So many want us to do something for the sake of doing it even if it fucks us over in 2-3 years time

I want us to make some moves but not anything that will hamper us. I could see 1-2 of Fournier, Gordon, Vucevic being moved but our FO is so cautious I could also see them doing nothing

I will be so butthurt if they trade #3. But yeah if we can not destroy ourselves to get westbrook I'm fine with it. I am worried about salary though, I don't want us to not be able to hang on to monk and graham down the line because of westbrook. We already got ****ed out of keeping kemba because we had friggin biyombo and batum on the books, we don't need more bad trades. I only want russ if we can still keep our young guys.

I think the Suns trade was a win-win. With Paul, we don't need Rubio anymore and Oubre was kind of the odd man out with Bridges and Johnson coming up and playing well in the bubble. We also kept 10 so I'm really hoping Hayes drops somehow because having him sit behind Paul for a few seasons would be potentially amazing

Edit: Also remember the Suns haven't made the playoffs since 2010 and are desperate!

Bucks should be acquiring Jrue holiday from the pels in exchange for bledsoe, george hill, and THREE 1sts

It's a good time to be a rebuilding team is all I can say, so many teams throwing away so much more than they're getting back just to try and get a slight edge.

These prices are crazy and now I am no longer surprised the Magic GM said earlier in the day that they were likely to do nothing.

He's too cautious to pay these ridiculous prices and they are also open enough that they will have listened to what people were asking for. So if they knew these were the prices being said, they are now going to expect way more than what people would normally pay for like AG, Vuc and Fournier.

If Covington is worth 2 1sts and there had been rumors only last season of Covington + change for Aaron Gordon, then they are going to expect a similar level for Gordon. And I doubt anybody is giving up multiple 1sts for Aaron Gordon.

Yeah like, if you're the bucks, I at least get it even though it's not good value at all. You're trying to do whatever you can to get better, if they have to give up 10 bucks (pun not intended) down the road for 1 dollar now, they'll do it. But the magic are not in the position where getting one of these guys vaults them into title contention. If this is how the market is going to be then the magic are absolutely right to stay out of it. That's why i'm super not a fan of the suns deal for the suns, because they gave up a ton to be...what, 5th seed? 6th? It's just not worth it.

Well the rumors are that they made this move with the understanding that Giannis will sign the supermax because it's a stupid move to make if they don't have that commitment from him. So they are probably justifying it not as 'this much for Jrue' but rather as 'this much to keep Giannis' and in that context it makes sense.

I would have loved Jrue on the Magic and have been campaigning for it all offseason but man not at that price. I thought it would cost like maybe a solid player and a pick. Or I had trades where the Magic sent AG or Vuc plus change to the Warriors for the 2 pick and then the 2 pick for Jrue.

Actually with the moves being made, maybe a contending team now is stupid enough to give a high price for Vuc or AG or Fournier because it's now an arms race to keep up

Also Bucks getting Bogdan Bogdanovic in a sign and trade is laughable. Not because of the player but because it is openly admitting that tampering rules have been broken and yet nothing will get done about it.

Under the rules, that transaction is 100% illegal. The Bucks shouldn't be able to talk to Bogdan until FA opens which is after the draft. Like usually teams at least pretend that they followed the rules, even though nobody does, but this is something else.

Last I saw, ilyasova was non-guaranteed and I never saw anything about the fate of such players because of all the date shuffling they had to do. Does that mean his contract ended up becoming guaranteed at some point if they're able to trade him?

So apparently Gordon was top of Portland's list and they offered the same package (and possibly more) for AG. Magic told them no.

I guess it makes sense given where those picks are going to be located.

I feel like he probably won't get much better than he is now, but I hope I'm wrong. I was disappointed to see him go, but he's the only real piece that they gave up for Bogdan.

Danny Green traded to Philly for Horford, a 1st and a 2nd.

I don't care how much cap relief you get, trading two picks for Green is absolute insanity. It's crazy how much draft picks are devalued in the NBA when in the NFL and especially the NHL they're worth a newborn son.

It's not so much that they're paying for green, it's taht they're paying to get rid of horford. It's been commonly understood that horford was such an albatross that philly would certainly have to part with assets to offload him somewhere. Given that the first is a lightly protected in 2025, I'd say the sixers got off quite easily honestly. Sixers were in such dire straits I'd have asked for TWO firsts.

As far as picks being devalued, I think part of that is because of how much of a crapshoot even outside the top 5 becomes once you hit that point. In the NFL, the gap between 2 and 5 is much smaller than it is in the NBA, where there's seemingly much less impactful talent than in the NFL. So teams are much more willing to part with them because the floor is much lower than in the NFL. In the NFL, a 20th overall pick is expected to be a relatively solid starter. In the NBA, you're lucky if such a player even cracks the rotation.

Yeah that's a rare trade where someone hasn't been swindled by Presti. Getting out from Horforss contract, which is amongst the worst in the league, for that cheap and getting a decent player back is far better than they could have ever hopes for

Oh yeah it's clear it's a cap relief thing, but I'd almost rather get nothing back than have to play Danny Green.

We've seen that first round picks are essentially worthless trade wise though, so in that sense I guess it's fine. Still just wild to see them have so little value in comparison to other leagues.

I have PTSD from Danny Green, the dude almost completely sabotaged two straight title wins lmao

If you match a restricted offer then you have to wait until the deadline before they can be traded. As in the deadline for when players on new contracts can be traded.

yeah iirc the deadline is 3 months or december 15th, the later of the two. That's why they tried a S&T deal to specifically bypass that but the player has to agree to a S&T.
