ORL in: De'Aaron Fox and Doug McDermott
LAL in: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Keon Ellis
SAC in: Cole Anthony, D'angelo Russell, Jalen Hood Schifino, Cam Reddish, 2025 DEN FRP, 2025 ORL unprotected FRP, 2027 ORL unprotected FRP, 2028 LAL pick swap, 2029 LAL unprotected FRP, 2025 LAL SRP, 2025 LAC SRP


ORL sends three firsts to get a dynamic all-star/fringe all-NBA guard. They pay more in first round picks in order to retain Suggs. Only player of consequence that goes out is KCP.

LAL sends out an unprotected first, a swap, and expirings to reunite with KCP and add a cheap defensive guard in Ellis.

SAC opts to trade Fox for a haul of picks instead of players that help them win now. They get three firsts from Orlando and a first + swap from the post Lebron and AD Lakers. If they're still interested in competing, they can use these picks to add to the Sabonis/Monk/Murray core.

You have the Lakers giving up too much value just to help Orlando get Fox.

By 'ORL sends three firsts to get a dynamic all-star/fringe all-NBA guard' you mean Cole Anthony (negative contract) plus three crappy firsts??? that's a steal for the Magic and awful for everybody else,

Lakers counter with Gabe, vandy and a pick swap.

I love me KCP but he in the Dlo tier of role players for me.

Cole has one year left on his deal after this season. Seems like the consensus in the other Fox threads is that Suggs + 2 FRPs is sufficient value. I figured Orlando involving a third team in order to add two additional FRPs could make up the difference and allow them to keep Suggs.

The picks definitely aren't great, true.

Originally wanted the Lakers to get Suggs and give up two firsts but couldn't make the money work. This makes a lot more sense if the Lakers can get Suggs.

KCP is probably only worth DLO and a FRP.

How's this instead:
ORL in: Fox and McLaughlin
LAL in: KCP and McDermott
SAC in: Anthony, DLO, JHS, Reddish, DEN 2025 FRP, 2025 ORL FRP, 2026 ORL swap, 2027 ORL FRP, 2028 ORL swap, 2029 LAL FRP

Again, Cole Anthony doesn't match your description at all, he'is filler at best. If you need a third team to overpay so that you can re-route those assets to make up for it, you're compounding your mistake. Those 3 picks from the Magic (two of their own + Nuggets') should be in the mid 20s, you can't expect that to get you Fox.
