I remember there were a few people around here putting Isaac in trade scenarios for whatever reasons at the time, but for my purposes i'll say lack of vision and patience. With isaac given a little time and opportunity, now the game is slowing down for him, i just don't see why we don't give bamba the same respect. I would humor people if there is a realistic deal out there but i'm looking around and i don't see a fair deal for both sides. The kind of deal where i don't have to say " Now why would this team do this deal".
Bamba hasn't shown an inkling of otherworldly talent. Thus, I don't think he will become any superstar. Maybe he can become an all-star or maybe he ends up Nerlins Noel. The odds of gambling on Bamba becoming greater than Vooch are very slim. If the team could upgrade in a position of need by packaging Bamba along with another player and/or pick to get another really talented player in a position of need, we should do it. Cuz, if the Magic let Vooch go and Bamba turns into Noel, we could have set ourselves backward again.
