Pick 24 of late is actually littered with guys who have been suggested for the Magic. Simons, Jerome and Tyus Jones were all recent 24 picks.
Great...let's trade it for one of those guys.
Let me ask the scary question. Is there a world where we trade both our picks + Black OR Suggs for a REAL PG in this draft should we believe one is actually viable?
You mean trade up? Don't think a PG exists in this draft that is worth that for this team except Harper. Fears I like longterm and in theory would move both picks to take him, but he is going to take some time, doesn't fix the issue immediately.
If you mean trade for a PG with multiple picks my question would just be who? If we could trade both picks and have the PG position solved for a couple of years with a player who also financially fit we would be fools not to do that. That is like the ideal solution for this team, but the problem is who is available that does that? Guys like Simons and Sexton will only cost 1 pick and it's debatable how PG-like they are as well. I just currently have trouble seeing who available is worth multiple picks and fixes the issue longterm. I've liked Reaves for a while, but assuming he even gets traded (doubt) I now currently believe there is no way we are affording that extension. Big Booker or Trae Young swings? Possible if they want to move Suggs, my guess they wait a year before making that choice.
I just think the current likely option is trade for a stopgap option that is better than CoJo while AB and whoever we draft continue to develop.
