Biz could have a crazy moment and opt out of his contract next season.
Like who? There was a run on PGs right before our 1st 2nd round pick. A couple went in the 1st and the one we wanted, Charlotte, traded up and took him.rcklsscognition wrote:We passed on so many point guards in this year's draft, there were legit PGs available with both of our 2nd round picks.

You can't trade a turd sandwich for a pretty princess...
This is a very small trade that simply smooths out our roster for the youngster bigs and adds a small expiring contract to help facilitate a possible future trade if need be.
This trade really isn't worth the fuss or so many pages...
People are defending this trade because we traded Biz though and it makes no sense because we still got Mosgov in return. If we had sent out the OKC pick or these second rounders and just acquired Grant and not Mosgov obviously this trade would be completely different. But its like people forget that we took back Mozgov's contract and sent out two-second rounders..

Two lower-of's 2nds for a career backup is value, in my opinion.

Who tf cares?!?!? BIZ IS GONE! Bismack Biyombo is no longer an Orlando Magic!! How is this not ringing in some of you? The man sucks at basketball. He cant catch the ball, cant finish at the rim, cant dribble, turns it over 1 of 2 possession like he is still a rookie making dumb rookie mistakes like traveling and double dribble. He was brought in to play defense and he didnt even do that. Him and Vuc had the higher opponent FG% in the team. Yes he is a good guy but is an awful basketball player. Stop defending him like he was actually gonna get minutes and be a part of this rotation.
Mozgof at least can be a decent backup who yes is overpaid. Also wouldn't surprise me if we bought him out. Also got a PG out of it too. Those seconds were unpreferred and we still have our own.
CAnt belive some of you still find a way to complain about this. I swear some people just come here to b*tch and moan.
