Wow…well-done.

From ORL side, I like the trades, but…
No way they bring back Fultz and I think Harris gets a better offer elsewhere

Not crazy about paying Bogie, maybe Alec Burks? I love Kyle Anderson, who MIN probably can’t afford.

My under the radar FA signing is Spencer Dinwiddie to be a big, experienced PG backing up Herro and showing Castle and Black the ropes for a year or two. Trading up for Castle is also on my own list.

I like CHA giving Goga a deal…maybe it’s a SnT for Mark Williams? Sounds like a lot of CHA fans are tapping out on him…maybe ORL adds a couple of srps or a heavily-protected frp or swap or even takes another contract off CHA’s payroll (Mann?)

Good job (I thought I was obsessive)

My twists on your ORL...changes highlighted:

Orlando Magic

Wendell Carter Jr. and Jett Howard for Tyler Herro
18th Overall Pick and Lower of 2025 Magic/Nuggets First Round Draft Pick for 11th Overall Pick
Clint Capela for Cole Anthony and 2025 Orlando Magic Second Round Draft Pick
SnT Goga Bitadze & Higher of 25 Magic/Nuggets frp for Mark Williams


Draft:
Draft Stephon Castle 11th Overall
Draft Baylor Schiermann 47th Overall

Free Agency:
Sign Kyle Anderson for 1+1 year deal starting at $8 Million
Sign Spencer Dinwiddie for 1+1 deal starting at $8 Million
Renounce Gary Harris, Markelle Fultz, Chuma Okeke, Joe Ingles

Capela/Williams/M. Wagner
Paolo/Isaac/Anderson
Franz/Black
Suggs/Houstan/Schiermann
Herro/Dinwiddie/Castle

*Lots of positional versatility - I see Black becoming more of a Joe Ingles/Kyle Anderson type "connector" than a true PG. Anderson, Isaac, and (if he's ready to play) Schiermann can play at 3, so lots of coverage and opportunities for minutes, depending on performance. I imagine Suggs, Herro, and Dinwiddie gobbling most of the guard minutes until young'uns start to take over. Castle, in particular, has Tiger Blood and would be nasty next to Suggs long-term, if his 3pt shot comes along (like Suggs' did).
