Hammond and Weltman went full on Otis, "I like this team."

This.

Good teams actually have this kind of depth. The Magic have been bad for so long that the haters of this trade must have forgotten what solid depth can do for a team.

Don't know if this team is finished yet...

Fultz better be almost ready to go. We missed out on Rubio, Brogdon, and Rose... all better than DJ.

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

Exactly. What's more likely... that the Magic want to ship out AG or that they're being a bit coy on Fultz's improvement?

I choose the latter.

AG would look really good next to Kyrie and KD... Sign and trade for DLo please?

Depends how many of them you have. Portland have been strapped the past few seasons because they filled out their roster with similar deals for depth. Aminu, Harkless, Leonard, Davis, Turner.

I think it's a great value deal if he ends up becoming a starting forward.

This. Seriously.

I get that the Magic have been bad for a loooooong time and fans forgot what a winning roster might look like. It's called depth and it's glorious.

Would not get any hopes up for an incoming trade.

DJ/Briscoe/Fultz??
Evan/Iwundu
Isaac/Ross
AG/Aminu
Vuc/Bamba

80% sure thats our rotation come opening night. Basically running it back with the same squad and hoping that Isaac/Bamba make strides and Fultz gets healthy. That would be our path to the playoffs.

I think they have to renounce him now.

Makes no sense for BKN, since they have to renounce D'Lo just to make space for KD + KI, not to mention Jordan.

They're going to need to offload some salaries to make room for those 3 as it is, not take back another big contract like AG.

But I do think Dinwiddie could hit the market, and we need to get him if he does. Excellent value backup piece.

Not all NBA players live on the gram.

Was thinking the same thing. He could also be out and busy or sleeping. He could also just text/call them about it.

No one under 25 understands what you're talking about here. :-D

They need center depth as well, Moz would be fine. How about AG and Moz for DLo and Caris Lavert? Or did the Nets already renounce him to sign Kyrie and KD?

I like AG but if we can get an all-star caliber pg back in a trade I would pull the trigger.

We are a DJ Augustine hammy injury away from MCW being our starting 1 rofl.

FO better pray for no injuries this upcoming year.

The Magic may have to make a decision sometime this year on Fournier as well, his contract expires after next season. Can't see him sticking with us past this contract.

Oh my god that Tobes deal has got to be the worst deal in the last 5 years. Just unbelievably bad. The guy is just simply not that good.
