2023 Draft Redo

[RichCollab]

It’s way too early for me.

I really liked Gradey Dick for the 3-pt shooting as the first guard off the bench. I still think that would have been a better pick than Jett Howard. Not picking on Jett, just think that Dick will end up being a better player long-term.

Have you always loved Dick?

Haha. Good one. The Anthony Black/Gradey Dick jersey swap was one of my favorite unintentionally funny moments this season.

Doing a draft redo after 1 year is not a very fruitful exercise.

That was definitely not unintentional lol, AB had one of those guilty grins on his face right after the game as he ran to find a camera man to come take the photo. They knew what they we’re doing it was totally planned

I really like Simon’s for us and still think we could get him fairly easy this summer. Portland is near the luxury tax and a bad team in a tough conference. Would they take Cole+Jett+ future 1st round pick to cut some salary?

Suggs/Black/vet
Simons/vet/Houstan
F-Wagner/Ingles/vet
Banchero/Isaac/vet
Carter/M-Wagner/vet

I like this very much, but it is not trouble free.
Your trade means the Magic uses its cap space to fill out easy to obtain depth. The question this roster needs to address is the capacity of Suggs and Simons to co-exist. Longer term, Black will never start on this roster.

Orlando trades: Wendell Carter, Cole Anthony, and one of Denver's 2025 frp OR this years 2024 frp.
Portland trades: Simons & the better of their second round picks (#34)

Resign Goga. Draft a Big in the second round.

That leaves:

Simons/Black
Suggs/Jett
Franz/Houstan
Paolo/JI
Goga/Moe/srp

This is my idead off season too!! Maybe they would want picks instead of Cole, so Cole would be our 3rd PG.
