Im always down for Kessler to join my team ever since he was a backup in UNC

Eats into cap for Lauri R+E, so it is DOA.

I think its best for the Magic to keep WCJ and play Goga more minutes when they need more rim protection. I like the different skill-sets each one of WCJ, Isaac, Goga brings at the center position. Keep WCJ for now.

I also think the Lakers arent giving up enough value anyway. A pick swap and they get to dump Vincent?

Easy no for Orlando. We need WCJs floor spacing

cut magic out lakers can just trade for kessler magic like wcj
