Official 2024-2025 Magic Trade ideas thread continued

[MasterGMer]

Who is Coby White turning into? Anyone thinks Chicago is trying to trade him? Dude is on fire all season. Many compare him to Cole. But heck, he is better than Cole this season. Should Magic entertain trading for a guy like Coby? Could be cheaper than Trae. And more feasible than Kevin Durant

[Bensational]

What big names are people thinking get moved this offseason?

I’m looking at Durant, Booker, Embiid and Trae first. That’s some seismic movement in and of itself.

Boston probably moves Jrue or Porzingis.

Phoenix definitely moves Durant or Booker.

New Orleans doesn't have to do anything but a Zion/Murray/McCollum core is pretty terrible.

Sacramento might rethink a Sabonis/LaVine core.

Edit: yeah, good call on Philly, they'd probably consider trading Embiid and would love to trade George.

I don't think Atlanta wants to trade Trae Young.

Kyrie, actually, but he can kind of control where he goes with his ETO. That might force Dallas to put AD on the market - I could see an AD for Embiid swap.

Yeah there seems little incentive for ATL to move Trae unless both sides are done. The team around him has promise. JJ + Rizler + Dyson. Their cap situation is ok. If they could upgrade C I think they could make noise.

If Phoenix move one of Durant/Booker I don’t know why they wouldn’t move the other. I doubt they get another star back, and they likely wouldn’t have the juice to fight for a play-in spot in the West.

New Orleans is an enigma, but Trey Murphy is the real core there.

If Milwaukee struggle they might abandon the GA/DL duo?

Sure. But would you ship Anthony out for Chris Paul?

It would be bold.

Maxey is off the market…but I wonder about his understudy McCain…neither is big or much of a defender…smells like Dame/CJ

Given PHI’s current state, maybe there’s a deal they’d consider to balance the roster and collect equity for near future retooling

AB & a good frp? Or two?

He's not for the right offer. I consider Embiid to be essentially done. Therefore it's replenishing assets time.

[the_process]

What do you guys think of Tyrese Maxey?

Would be a near perfect fit for the magic but I’m not sure what package sixers would want from the magic to get him. He’s worth an all-star package but I’d be afraid of sixers wanting a superstar return for him. His contract would also be problematic with Franz and Paolo also nearing their max salaries.

But from a pure basketball fit perspective, 100% yes.

He's probably talking about Maxey and the 6th pick for Paolo.

Not Paolo. And maybe a pick swap depending where the lottery falls could be discussed as part of the deal.

What would a Maxey trade look like in your opinion? I always say he could be our Donovan Mitchell Cavs equivalent. Because he makes little enough to where we could feasibly afford him in addition to our big contracts.

Maxey has like 4/163 remaining, Mitchell had like 3/100. So an extra year of Maxey even.

I'm guessing you want Franz? I don't think the Magic would do that. Would have to be heavily draft pick centered, if y'all aren't ready to go that route I don't think it would happen. Probably something more likely to happen further down the line unless the Sixers really want to just fully blow it up and make a run at Dybantsa/Peterson.

I was on the hill that wanted Coby White out of the Simons, Sexton, White trio of combo guards

Weltham thought otherwise tho

I doubt Orlando would go for that. Paolo's trajectory is Carmelo 2.0, and he's only 22.

All draft picks isn't going to be enough.

My thought is Franz/15/23 in exchange for Maxey/4 or 6.

Also, if you were interested in the risk; I would take 55M worth of contracts for Embiid. Do not really care who if the deals are all three years or less.

I think wepark felt the same way but Feb trade deadline wasn't the right time to make that move.

See what they do this summer when the time is right

Franz is more impactful than Maxey, so I'd pass

If the trade was for AB + picks, easy move. If it was for Suggs & picks, I'd be a bit hesitant but still pull the trigger

In this scenario I wouldnt expect the 76ers pick coming back our way

Suggs and picks? That has my interest. What picks we talking?

The Sixers also have a Paul George for sale who fits right in with the Magic M.O.

I don't think the Magic would do it. I don't think I would either, interesting concept though. I mean in a world where I really liked Ace Bailey and he's available there it would be even more interesting, but pretty lukewarm on him right now. I value Franz really highly, I probably put more value on his defense than most, but I really value Franz.

I agree all picks wouldn't be enough Maxey just has too many years on a good contract, maybe a couple years from now if you guys haven't improved though who knows.

Don't think Embiid is doable here (anywhere?) lol.

I'd send Suggs, Jett, Orlando's 2025 1st (Unprotected), 2027 1st (Unprotected), 2029 Pick Swap (Unprotected) and a 2026 2nd Rounder.

We probably arent the best team to take on PG13 also considering we're about to give Paolo a max contract.

If we traded for McCain, I'd send AB instead of Suggs (because contracts wont matchup with Suggs once his extension kicks in) but I'd send the same picks, maybe exclude the pick swap

76ers contract situation is really interesting, 3 top heavy contracts and a bunch of cheaper cost saving contracts. I think a tanking team whose still gonna be bad for a handful of seasons is your best bet to dump off PG13 or Embiid. Maybe a 3rd team in our trade could make it possible like the Wizards or Jazz

[eyriq]

I'd do Suggs and picks for Maxey. It's a defense for offense swap with the picks paying for the injury downside.

[basketballRob]

I do think Embiid will still be impactful after he heels. He just needs to be able to play without pain. Embiid with half the athletic ability is still really good.

Isaac plays nearly every game now. He just isn't as explosive.

I’d do an AB + Carter + multiple picks for Maxey.

It would be like losing nothing for offense.

Anyone would have to be absolutely crazy to take on PG on his $50 mil per year that in 4 more years ends at $70 mil at the age of 38. No freaking way is there any such thing as a sale but a ripoff lemon.

Annnnnnd we already had an injury riddled season. Lol
