I'm not sure that price tag gets you near Davis or Cousins.
From an outside perspective and someone not overrating your own players (we all do it with our teams) I think that package is close for Klay. You could probably take out Gordon or the 1st and it would be fine value wise. Maybe because I don't watch Magic games on a day-to-day basis I don't see the players play, but seems like some of the Magic assets, especially in this deal, are just guys at this point. I think adding a legit all-star talent would be good for the team moving forward and Klay is still young enough to build around.
We are severely overrating our players on this board.
Ibaka- old man has shown flashes but is not an All-Star, on an expiring contract
AG- future NBA journeyman. By the time his career is done in 10 years, he will have played for 8 different teams, no All Star games except for a few dunk contests.
Mario- our Euro bust. He is out of here in 2 years once his rookie deal is up.
And we don't have any good draft picks to send out.
