Ant Man?
What if he wants out? Media is reporting there is a "........chance........" he might want out this off-season.
Would you do:
1. Franz
2. Cole
3. BOL
4. Both 2023 picks (ORL pick top 2 protected)
For
1. Ant
2. Filler (will be waived)
Unpopular opinion...... I'd do that trade in a heartbeat.

I love Franz, believe me. But he's not above a 21yo All Star in Anthony Edwards.

Re: Ant Man?
The Ringer has Anthony Edwards at #12 in trade value in the Group D Budding Franchise Guys, Franz is in the group right above at #25. I mean, the value is way too close though there seems to be clear differentiation. I don't see the need to trade Franz and would vote NO.

Can you provide which media is reporting this? In the world of NBA news, source is important

I don't get the hype.
And he's not the missing piece for us.

I don't think he is the step up for us. He needs to lose some weight

Re: Ant Man?
So far I've seen Fultz, Suggs, Franz and Banchero in trade scenarios and the offseason hasn't even begun yet.. tough crowd..
Saw Vuc and Fournier in less after making the playoffs

I find the 'let's trade our really good player for their really good player' quite funny. Good players need help. We have TONS of great draft capital. That is what we have to offer. Shuffling the deck does nothing.

Disney would not allow Anthony Edwards to come to Orlando.

Re: Ant Man?
Instead of Ant, why notngo for SGA? Just imagine the pain suffering and hair-pulling of NBA fans everywhere.... Paolo and SGA will get calls all game long. We win games even though we took lesels than 20 FGA because we went to the line 60 times...

Re: Ant Man?
I’d love to get Anthony Edwards, but in addition to Franz and Banchero. Most star trades the star teams end up with picks and starters, not fellow stars. Gone are the days of the Dominique Wilkins for Danny Manning star for star deals. The Magic have young talent and a crap ton of picks to make a trade offer. Depending on how Weltman views the team he probably should at least do due diligence and make a phone call to the Wolves. But the Magic certainly can get a high quality wing in the draft without complicating their cap.
I personally make Franz untouchable, as good as Banchero is I think the Magics best player in the future could very well be the young German.

You look confused...let me fill you in.

Re: Ant Man?
Franz and Paolo are as close to untouchable as there is in this league.
All our picks for the next 10 years + anyone else on the roster are up for grabs to build a championship club around those two.

Re: Ant Man?
Minny would be silly to trade him. But if they took Suggs (hometown kid), Bol and our two first and our first next year. I just don't see an avenue unless you wanna give up Franz and Paolo and I wouldn't want to.
That Lakers game was scary. He absolutely shrunk on the big stage. Might have been banged up but he was actively avoiding the ball.

The hero Orlando deserves is out there somewhere, Dwight was not the one we needed. So we will hunt for him...
