Hopeful for a first , settling for a seconds grab bag type of target ?

Cole Anthony (1 yr, then TO), Jett Howard, 2 srps

Cole needs a fresh start. When he’s ‘on’ he’s Kyrie-lite…but he’s not on as much lately and, maybe, a change of scenery works. If not, only one year guaranteed. Jett is a 21yo, 6’6 shooter who’s just not gaining traction in ORL. The srps are Olynyk’s value. He’s good enough to be a big factor for playoff depth, but doesn’t make a lot of sense for a team on the rebound.

I've got that as an overpay for ORL

Also don't like the direction for either team. If ORL is healthy, Olynyk's behind a half-dozen guys for C/PF minutes, and even with ORL current injuries I wouldn't play him over Goga, WCJ or Isaac. For TOR, they have a bunch of young guards who need minutes, while having a really weak front line. Cole might add a win or 2 to TOR, but I don't see the point for TOR other than taking the overpay
In a no-win argument, the first poster to Let It Go will at least retain some peace of mind
