ORL in: Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Christian Wood
LAL in: Goga Bitadze, Kentavious Caldwell Pope, lightly protected ORL 2025 FRP

ORL gets an on-ball guard that fits very well with their core of Paolo/Franz/Suggs. Austin's averaging 18/6 on 59 TS% this season and has been a revelation as the Lakers starting PG. They also acquire a starting level forward that is shooting 43% from 3 on decent volume. Magic get much needed creation and shooting from players that fit their timeline.

AR/Black/Anthony
Suggs/Harris/Queen
Franz/TDS/Howard
Paolo/Rui
Carter/Issac?/Wood


LAL balances their roster by acquiring a center, a proven 3 & D guard having a down year, and a FRP.


Luka/Vincent
KCP/Knecht
Bron/Vando
DFS/Reddish
Goga/Hayes

Why is Orlando sending a 1st?

Well, if Moe Wagner wasn't hurt for 2025 and Goga wasn't that great and there wasnt a pick, this might be an okay trade.

Because Reaves is the best player in the deal on a team friendly contract and KCP is a 31 year old having a bad season that is owed 22 mil for the next three years.

Wow, I just saw that KCP’s 3-point shooting has collapsed. What happened?
