TOR/ORL/SAC: Holmes, Ross, Boucher & Dragic

What do the various teams involved think?

To TOR: Terrence Ross + Richaun Holmes
To SAC: Chris Boucher + Robin Lopez (or other salary filler)
To ORL: Goran Dragic + 2nd Round Pick (Toronto)

Toronto: gets bench help + true C

Sacramento: gets a better fit next to Sabonis

Orlando: clears Ross extra year and pick up a 2nd in the process

I think Sac can and will do better for Holmes.

The Magic will not trade RoLo to a team that is rebuilding.

Does anyone really want Dragic? Even as an expiring, he seems to be a boat anchor.

Well my understanding is Sacramento is going for a playoff spot this year and not really rebuilding. Alternatively I suppose MCW could be included or other salary filler.

Dragic isn’t going to stay…he would be bought out to save the extra year on Ross’ deal.

Understood, but I don't see the Magic trading RoLo to a lower-tier playoff team. It could happen, but I think that RoLo signed with Orlando on a "wink wink" deal to get him to a contender.

The Magic don't care about 1 more year on Ross's deal because they are not signing a real free agent any time soon. Now, they might be trying to trade him just in case a GM has not seen him play recently. He is not a good player anymore.

100%
Not only that, but the Kings will absolutely need team control for players over the next few years. Boucher as an expiring being the notable addition here is not what Holmes will go out for. I don’t believe Boucher has that type of value anyway.

I like it for the Magic. They actually need a veteran PG with real PG skills so maybe they can convince Dragic to resign if he likes it there.

I'd take a crusty Dragic over Cole Anthony all day, every day. Now where can we ship him off to?

Dragic hasnt played since game #5. why would he even want to play for Orlando. He will likely want to go to a contender

Hmm true.

The Magic don't NEED to make any moves. If management is smart (and they are), if somebody wants any of our players it will have to be a fair deal. We have no use for Dragic, or any second rounders that we will trade or sell for a bag of peanuts.
