O'Neale is essentially the ideal of what Orlando likely hoped that Aminu would be when they signed him. He's the prototypical 3 and D utility guy that can defend the 1-4 spots, and even some 5's. And he does it on a tiny usage % (this year was only 9%).

We have defense. We need offense.

And his shooting is an improvement in that regard.

Trading down a small amount in this draft to improve from Aminu to O’Neale is a simple yes. But there’s really no need for Utah to consider this.

The 5’s he would guard are the ones who aren’t shooting threats. The Javale’s and time running type 5’s are the only ones he should take, but that’s still a handful of them.

Royce just put up 12/9/3 with 2 stls while guarding Brandon Ingram, who shot 7/20. I don't think the Jazz would move Royce in a deal like this.

Lock thread. Magic don't wanna trade for the next Mo Harkless and the Jazz don't wanna trade the next Ron Artest.

I think the Bucks would do this deal with Indiana's pick though.

O'Neal is a very good 3D player, that have been playing very well in his role in UTAH, who also just signed the 4 years new contract extension, why UTAH will trade him away for a lessor player, who is injured right row, for move up 6 spots in a weak draft?

You don’t have to go overboard. No one’s called him an Artest, a DPOY player that can also put up 20 points a night and at each level of the court offensively. Obviously, you wouldn’t get an Artest with just a small trade down and swapping out your guy that isn’t working out yet. :dontknow:

Bruce Bowen or Robert Horry (with any clutch genes yet to be seen) are likely much more apt comparisons. Good defenders of multiple positions that don’t need the ball and can effectively stretch the court with their 3 point shooting that is always a threat.

Royce isn't any sort of star, but he's a plus defender and a plus 3-point shooter. That alone makes him a better player and better fit, especially at SF, than Aminu (who is only one of those things even when healthy) and certainly better than Tyler Ennis (who is Just A Guy).

If the Magic don't think he moves the needle *enough*, that's okay. This isn't enough for Utah either.

I think O'Neal comfortably has more value than Aminu.

Don't backseat moderate and don't use this type of reductive arguing. If you have nothing constructive to contribute to a thread, please do not post.

Don't be so sensitive. I would hate being a mod. I'm not trying to steal some sort of power and glory you feel you have. Did the humor and sarcasm go over your head that much? Even the guy I was talking to gave me an And1. It was a total hyperbolic comment, and please don't tell me that is against the rules. You need to get off your high horse. With this kind of moderating you discredit your BLM stand in your sig. Calm down and let people express themselves. There was no intention of hurt or harm.

Aminu is an overpaid mistake that never should've happened for the Magic. No doubt O'Neale has more value than that. Would you move down 6 spots for him though? Would be interesting to hear another Magic fan's take.

Yup, easily. In my eyes it'd help move Fournier out the door but that probably wouldn't be Weltman's motivation lol. But yeah moving down 6 spots is easily worth it to move on from a bad deal/get a productive guy at more of a position of need.

You're starting to convince me but I'd have to wait for draft day to see what the board looks like.
