I’m really serious now about my suggestion the other day.

AG + Vuc for Kevin Love + Brooklyn Pick

Now on top of the wiretap too. Whole lot of hype around a vague, unsubstantiated report.

Is Hezonja going to be attached?

Honestly I dont see the appeal of brooklyn pick, once everyone else committed to tanking toward the end of the season, they won’t since there’s no incentive to tank... I’m not surprised that brooklyn pick fall to #10

Welp, This is what people wanted. They've been bitching about having to pay him all season. Now lets watch us get half the value back for him like we did with Dipo.

Its the right thing to do as long as they get another good young player and/or good draft picks.

The new FO deserves our trust. They shouldn't be viewed with any of this negativity of our past few seasons.

I was toying with an (Aaron, EP, Vooch, TRoss, two-four 2nd's) for (Gortat, Porter, two WAS 1st's) idea a few days ago but I love Aaron too much. I guess maybe now it's one of the first ideas to throw out there. I think WAS would better appreciate throwing more offense and potential into the SL thru Aaron & Vooch, and ORL would better appreciate throwing out a true SF with an accurate stroke (& likely saving cap when paying Gortat compared to Vooch, and Porter compared to Aaron & EP & Vooch). (I had variations without Aaron, and without Vooch. A lot of those variations added in Simmons.). I think Porter and Isaac would be the types to love playing with each other.

Then in the summer, you'd draft BPA and if it's one of those many bigs, you got the door open with Gortat mentoring and bridging the gap with the new draftee big. If the BPA is a point, then that door is wide open. The only door not wide open is for a wing like Doncic, but that is honestly nonsense. You want that kind of amazing bench depth when you have two out of three players like Doncic, Fournier, and Simmons off the bench. And you can easily squeeze 25+ mpg for all three.

Anyways, it's just another bored idea. I'm sure with a big piece like Aaron, there are so many other ideas/options out there. In the end, my to-keep pieces still remain Aaron, Isaac, Evan, and Vooch. And you clean the house around them (minus Simmons).
Go Magic (last year to tank hard)! :lol:

Us exploring the market means literally nothing. That’s just Managment gauging his value as they should.

But if he’s dealt it somewhat confirms what my source said about Orlando being extremely high on Bagley.

I don’t think we should rush a trade when his value is probably at the lowest due to him impending contract. Test the market after he’s locked in and could bring in higher paid potentially better players.

If we trade him and then he wins the dunk contest I will be angry. If he doesn't win, I think I'll manage.

He doesn't have low value at all. The Magic would be trading away a RFA contract. His new team would own him for many years, at minimum.

Can't wait for the Magic to trade Isaac in 2021.

Depends what we get back for AG and what they see Isaac as...

You have to wait for the new FO to come in first, after WeHam is fired, then it happens :banghead:
