Jett's not even in Orlando, so he won't be on the summer league team. He posted a pic on IG with a hill in the background. We don't have hills in Orlando.

Over the luxury tax is not news, no need to dump anyone, you need contracts to trade for a team with our payroll, dumping a few million here and there does absolutely nothing but limit the amount we have to trade with.

Jett being dumped is inevitable.

Moving JI doesn’t make sense, but would solve a lot of issues.

If that's the case Al Horford is still out there.

Also, I can see Goga, Issac, and Howard all being dumped.

I don’t think it’s that simple.

Without Goga, Orlando doesn’t have a backup C.

Without JI, Orlando doesn’t have a backup PF.

Of course we can trade for a different backup, but we really don’t have good depth as is.

They are trying to keep up with the Joneses.

Jett is almost certain to be gone

I’m really surprised at how low some of these contracts are! Really good value out there.

Not very much for Trent Jr.

That’s really sad. That’s not a normal age to experience something like that, at 22 years old. Already did a little prayer for her, hope the Banchero family are alright.

Good. Now we can stop talking about Trent

I just realized Houston not only has Sengun, but also Steven Adams and Clint Capella locked up longterm.

I know the latter are past their prime, but that’s amazing depth given the current market of centers (high demand).

As much as I want to keep Moe Wagner, we better not dump Isaac to keep him.

Jett can go to China for all I care. Waste of a pick, everybody knew that besides Jeff.

Houston has definitely built a monster out West. Still can’t see them beating OKC in a 7 game series.

This one stings a tiny bit, 3.75 mil per year. If that BucksConfidential guy was right though about Goga for Pat, maybe we expand the deal for GTJ’s small salary to be included. I’m grasping at straws to say the least.

I think Al Horford and Malik Beasley are still out there. But Beasley might be banned the whole season or something crazy (from the gambling allegations).

It looks like the Trade game is back on the board for us. If you want to look at ORL’s Trade assets that were not on the floor in the ORL-BOS series, they are Goga, Jett, one to two 1sts, two to three 1st Pick Swaps, a bunch of 2nd’s, and 7 mil in TPE space.

But the roster has a legitimate case for being done for the next 4 months until the season starts. Maybe add a Veteran Minimum big and a Veteran Minimum wing. Assumption is that Mo Wagner is back.

I like this guy and listen to his pod but he's been set on us avoiding the tax for a while and he's been wrong about that for the same while. This team is going to pay the tax.

DiplomaticMagic · Post #1898 » by **DiplomaticMagic** » Tue Jul 1, 2025 3:23 am

Even if we re-sign Moritz, I still think we should get a microwave scorer off the bench. Like a Terrence Ross. Whos that player?

Too bad Jett Howard cant be that.

Hear me out... Jett for Melton sign and trade. We are going to get Jett to Brooklyn somehow :lol:

While I’m sure Jett will end up a casualty of the salary cap, I would love to see him get a season with Tyus Jones setting him up. I think we’d see a bonafide 40% high volume shooter if that were the situation.

Does the FO add a legitimate starting (scoring) guard to the roster this summer?
