Now this is my kind of trade.

Had to triple check that it wasn't a fake Woj account since I've been assured the Magic don't care about second round picks.

Orlando Magic don't do a lot of things good, but they do groom Centers! Welcome Bol Bol!

I think this gets the Celtics out of the tax, so looks like Schroder is staying put.

Bamba/Bol Bol is a 2k enthusiast's idea of a good center rotation

Would have rather dumped fernando then Bol Bol but oh well.

I came into this deadline wanting 1 TPE. We got 2. We are rich with TPE’s. Let’s. Go.

Anyone know just how short of the tax this puts them?

Very unlikely to be the case once details come out. I'm assuming the pick that Magic are sending is a fake 2nd otherwise they just ate two contracts for nothing. But maybe you'd prefer that over just acknowledging the misplaced hyperbole regarding the Magic's lack of interest in picks.

Magiv aren't eating dead salary for nothing. They will send a fake 2nd.

Magic are also getting cash, FWIW.

But yes, the 2nd round situation does need to be clarified. Orlando needed to send *something*, so it remains to be seen if their 2nd is 'real'. Boston's presumably will be, since they didn't need to add it, but may also be protected. We'll see.

Magic get a 2nd and cash and give up a 2nd. Wonder if that cash covers waiving one of Bol/Dozier as the Magic already have waived Moore.

Heavily Protected so it's a fake 2nd

That's the one the Magic are *sending*, not receiving.

If the Magic value them, why do they sell them or trade them for future picks that will surely be worse?

I guess you could be right, however most fans take "value" to mean something that can score points and rebound where you must mean something that you can put in your bank account. If you mean it that way, OK, you are right. That is what you want to hear, right?

Talk amoungst yourselves ...

Re-read bud

This debate has gotten so pedantic at this point. But until the Magic stop acquiring them or pass when its their turn to pick as opposed to trading them or selling them, its clear those picks have value to the Magic--as they do to literally every organization because truth be told 2nd round picks do hold value.

Now if you want to argue they don't value them enough to make any specific deal, totally fine. But every team values assets that hold value. Including lowly 2nd round picks.

Let's move on.
