Actually, I don't disagree with this all that much.
However, just because he has no trade value due to health, that does not mean he can be traded for at a discount.
It is an odd predicament that the Magic are in with Isaac.
His value to the team is far far greater than it is on the trade market.
I consider it similar to the "paid for" car syndrome.
A paid-for car has a lot more value to the owner than one that is not paid for.
I agree. As I have stated in this thread on multiple occasions I understand Magic fans and the org valuing him. I would in the same situation. What I have responded to is what Hartford bought up as in, it's a bit disingenuous to say Team X doesn't have the assets to acquire Player X. Then when assets are put forth the conversation changes to we don't want picks and making it a 3 team deal changes it so we're not interested any way.
I'm not suggesting Huerter is fair value or anything like that, don't get me wrong here, I'm simply saying anyone that is saying Huerter's value should fall because he's injured should also do the same for Isaac because the former played more games than the latter this season. It's simply using one factor for a player and not the other.
I’ll say it. The Magic would be fortunate to get Huerter in exchange for Isaac as it currently stands. Isaac has no value outside of Orlando and a team taking a wild shot in the dark (which means it’s a low value offer).
That offer would result in silence and a dial tone.
And rightfully so.
Frankly, it is so bad, it is not worth responding to in detail
