Still, I would love this in a larger package: Harris, Frye, Fournier, and two firsts for an awesome PF. That is my dream.

I like everything about that minus the firsts.
Even though this team has enough talent, it's not good to deal draft picks.
Interesting read on how the Magic are misusing Tobias Harris. His lack of touches in pick-and-roll is puzzling http://www.basketballanalyticsbook.com/2016/02/12/trading-tobias-

We have our PF, I think a vet PG and possibly a draft pick for Harris + Fyre

Cool article, basically the author says we should trade Vucevic for a defensive center and everything will be better.

LOL as if it where that easy. Hennigan should just go grab one of those at Walmart...cause you know mobile rim protectors that also are good roll-men are a dime a dozen.
If it where that simple Dewayne "hands of stone" Dedmon would be on the floor.
There are a plethora of really good defensive center's in the NBA and D-League - but only a very few have the foot speed, athleticism and agility to defend the rim and out beyond 10' - all without fouling out in 5 minutes. There are even less that posses that capacity and aren't a total liability on the offensive end, much less good effective roll-men (able to catch, finish or pass out, read defenses etc.)
I don't want to sound like I'm hating on Tobias, but is he even a capable ball handler in traffic? He has pretty limited floor awareness and passing ability. He is effective in line drive situations but I don't think he has that capacity to create in a crowded lane - which it will be - a lot. I think this author is just looking at numbers and not taking into consideration Harris' actual skill set

Re: Magician most likely to be traded
Player with most votes traded first. Player with second most votes traded second. Other player with significant votes still a Magician. Overall I take this that the Magic fan has a good vibe of the team progression.
