All the trade talk is around Drozen for the Magic but I think that is a bad trade for three reasons.

1) His age
2) He is a free agent after this season
3) He is not a great fit with Flutz in the backcourt because he can't shoot.

I think the Magic should target D'Angelo Russell from the Warriors. He would fit great next to Fultz in the backcourt and he is young enough to grow with the team. Here is my proposed trade.


Magic Give:

Evan Fournier
DJ Augustin
Mo Bamba
1 st round pick


Warriors Give:
D'Angelo Russell

Thoughts?

Golden State would definitely say no IMO.

This feels like a more realistic framework to me.

Gordon + Bamba
for
Russell

Starters: Fultz, Russell, Fournier, Isaac, Vucevic
Bench: Augustin, Ross, Aminu, Birch

I'd go to battle with that group.

I'll do it just cause I want some movement and us finally being proactive in fixing our issues.

I rather go after Brogdon though if he ever becomes available.

I know we want to keep Gordon, but that's what it would take imo. Unless we want to trade multiple future picks (no thanks)

Isn't DLo hurt?

He’s out two weeks, but he can’t be traded until December 15th anyway.

Don't think dlo is a weham guy buy i d do

Dlo for ag + DJ

How would we feel about a trade for Wiggins?

I don't think GSW will want Bamba when they can have Wiseman in the next draft.

AG + DJ + future 1st seems more reasonable to me.

It’s crazy. Three weeks ago not a single person on this board would have been interested at all and justifiably so.

Now? The Wolves might not even want to deal him!

I’m just not sure if what he’s done so far this year is a small sample size fluke or if the light finally clicked on for him.

If it’s real and he really can be a relatively efficient 25 PPG scorer who almost never turns the ball over, I would be very interested in him.

I can't see them dealing for for D Lo with that cutting into Fultz's role too much. I can see them go after guys like Beal/DeRozan/Ingram/Hield/LaVine/McCollum.

I could only see them replicating their championship team and they need a replacement for Iggy. I think AG would be someone of their interest. But we’ll definitely have to give up more for an allstar.

GSW prolly wont do it even if Evan is better for their offense.

Might be a usage thing... some players are just better volume scorers. He averaged 24 ppg at 21 yrs old a few years ago... now his usage is up again and he's producing again.

I don't think they want him because of his play The Wiseman thing isnt so important i think, because of the new lottery odds. Even with the worst record, there chance is kinda small to get the 1st pick & the rest of the probably high picks are guards & wings.

Russell isnt worth AG plus a future 1st.

A protected one, something like lottery protected.

I'd rather give Bamba than a future 1st if we're being candid.

But I am really down on Mo at the moment.

looking at contract and Russell's up and down play, not just this year, still not sure he is worth AG and a 1st even if protected
