Gobert for Magic Stretch Bigs

Timberwolves Get:
Jonathan Isaac
Wendell Carter Jr.
Jett Howard
1st

They add a lot of depth with bigs who can still defend and also stretch the floor for Ant and Randle. They also fit Ant's timeline better

Conley/Ant/Jaden/Randle/WCJ
Dillingham/DD/Shannon/Reid/Isaac

Magic Get:
Rudy Gobert

Orlando goes all in with this trade after getting Bane. They've been successful with a legit Center so Rudy is a great fit considering his defensive impact

Suggs/Bane/Wagner/Banchero/Gobert
Black/Houstan/Da Silva/Mo/Goga

I don't see Minnesota considering this.

What’s the first? Seems like an important detail.

I feel like it would have to be part of a KD to Minny deal, with some of what Orlando is sending out being salary dumped on a 4th team.

I can't see Orlando maintaining the payroll level this pushes them into.

Doesn't make sense for MIN to break Gobert into spare parts, ORL can't tolerate Gobert contract with their other starters.

You mention Ant's timeline...how about the entire ORL core?

No

Yeah it’s either 25 in this years draft or the 2032 first.

That really changes the outlook of the trade..

Does Orlando have anyone that can lob Rudy the ball at a decent level? I don’t know if their offense can work but they win on talent here.
