What's that offer someone on here wanted for Beal?

Trade Suggs, Cole, Isaac, 6, 11, and future first rounder for Siakam :lol:

Siakam is good but he doesn't fit here.

We are a "build from inside, slow build team". I don't think this has legs.

Just reading Spanish sports paper Mundo Deportivo. Spain is basketball nuts and follows the NBA assiduously, but you wouldn't know it from their "Top Trades" article:

"Orlando may have entered the fight for Pascal Siakam. The Floridians are in need of a multifaceted center since they cut Bol Bol".

:crazy:

They then list Bol to the Suns as one of the possible masterstrokes of the offseason, citing him as the closest NBA player in size and ability to Wenbanyama, who would fit like a glove next to Durant, Booker and Bradley.

As nuts as that take is, people underestimate how much of a media draw the Bollercoaster is. He was probably worth 2m to Orlando in public attention.

It's Mundo Deportivo after all. Barça basically sponsors that outlet to do their dirty work in the media, including try to portray Laporta as not a complete crook who sells the family silver so he can continue taking kickbacks.

A 30 29-year-old who has a 3-4 year prime window left, joining a team full of guys who haven't hit their primes yet. Seems... unlikely. (I was a year off, but point stands)

We should be chasing Myles Turner who is consistently in the rumor mill and is a perfect fit for us. Oh wait, we don't have 6 and 11 anymore. blah.

Magic have been on a positional size craze for a while so having a 6’9 220 C would be pretty laughable. I doubt this has any legs but in any case if you are any team planning on significant C minutes for Siakam then you aren’t serious about winning.

While I agree 100%, I just can’t stop thinking of this when I hear Myles Turner

Per league sources, the Raptors are still listening, trying to gauge the market value for their leading scorer and leading returning – in theory – playmaker. Atlanta remains a possibility, Indiana has reached out while Orlando is another team that bears watching.


am i missing something? how is that Orlando being interested?


They are watching, always watching....
