Official Speculation Thread ‘19-'20 II: BIG as F

[pepe1991]

Aminu in pretty much spells Gordon or Isaac are out . Time to trade for actual guard.

I'd say Gordon is out, since Isaac is core WeHam.

Otherwise they've got no options to improve that backcourt. All money used up now.

Gordon should fetch someone decent at least.

Fingers crossed on Beal ...

as i said ( "sources " :lol" ) Bojan Bogdanovic got 4 years ,$18,5M a year ( 74 M total) deal from Utah.

Pacers traded pick for Brogdon.

I really liked Larkin coming out of the draft. But he would be a marginal better backup pg at best.

I don't know much about him...have you been watching in EuroLeague?

Nope. Not at all. I just remember thinking he would be a really good pro and was really surprised he didn't work out. To me, when I watched him at MIami he passed all the eye tests for a very good point guard prospect.

God that would be amazing. But I don't think Gordon has the value for that, and we don't have the spare parts to dress it up.

And as some of us projected, Brogdon getting over $20M a year ment that Magic ,even if they let vuc and ross go, never had chance to create enough cap space to sign him.

But as usual, people who were debating it, will now act they never said anything.

[Howard Mass]

I do smell a trade coming with Aminu's signing. Just too much money on the frontcourt.

It also might say a lot about how The Magic are feeling about Markelle Fultz.

[Howard Mass]

Shane Larkin among others is a possibility for that third point guard spot.

Remember, your signing a third point guard although a lot of us want Isaiah Briscoe or Michael Carter-Williams back.

[MagicFan4Lyfe]

I am actually quite excited for this season seeing a beefed up Bamba, healthy Fultz....

Don't know about Briscoe but Magic FO very very high on MCW- i do expect him back. We'll see.

[InFlames]

No way on earth we trade Isaac.

[basketballRob]

I'm convinced AG is going to get traded now. He's been silent on social media and that's not his personality.

There is one wacky trade scenario where Magic could send Bamba and Gordon for Beal and Mr. Dwight Howard

it actually works from salary perspective

[jayrehme]

PG Fultz, Augustin
SG Fournier, Ross, Okeke?
SF Isaac, Iwundu, Okeke?
PF Gordon, Aminu, Okeke?
C Vuc, Bamba

Solid team with combination of players in the primes and young talented players, yet not rookies... shooting for a top seed in the playoffs! I'm excited.

[The Real Dalic]

I don't see how signing a role player means that our second best player is getting traded. Unless it's for a star guard.

[Howard Mass]

Al-Farouq Aminu's signing makes no sense unless a trade is coming. He's a great defender but iffy offensively. I'm only ok with this if another move is coming.

On another note, Aminu's signing probably kills any possibility Jarell Martin returns next season.

[InFlames]

TRoss back on a 4 year deal? 4 year 54 mil.

EDIT: **** I was 40 minutes late

[trebone]

I dont understand why we keep going after forwards

We had a whole at backup PF (okeke is injured). They must be confident in Fultz or a trade is on the horizon... i'm thinking its fultz. I mean, the kid played well even when he was "injured" last year.

[ezzzp]

Malcolm Brogdon playing off-ball next to Oladipo is a nice fit for Indiana.

[HoraceGrant]

If Russell goes to Minny. They'll probably want to move one of either Tyus Jones or Teague. Think we can get one of them?
