Yeah LOL.. of all the players we havenon our roster, who guessed that its MoW that would star in the movies first.

Gotta say, great offense bad defense, actually sums up MoW in the movie really well.

I love Vučević's game, but the trade is looking better every single day!

If the Bulls 2023 FRP lands in the lottery, this becomes one of the top-5 Magic trades ever.

I would say that this is already a top 5 trade for us. What 5 trades do you have ahead of it right now? (Aside from the Hardaway Webber swap)



These trade in retrospect positively changed the Magic's future:

#1 Acquiring Penny Hardaway and three future draft picks for Chris Webber

#2 Trading Dwight Howard, Chris Duhon and Earl Clark to the L.A. Lakers, while sending Jason Richardson to Philadelphia for Six Players and Five Draft Picks

#3 Trading Tracy McGrady, Juwan Howard, and Tyronn Lue to Houston for Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley

#4 Trading Penny Hardaway to the Phoenix Suns for Danny Manning, Pat Garrity, and two first round draft picks

#5 Trading Rafer Alston, Courtney Lee and Tony Battie for Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson




The trade of Vučević needs to reveal a positive consequence to crack these top-5. i.e. Orlando needs to start winning games for this (or any trade) to be seen in a positive light.




Other very good trades:

Acquiring Jameer Nelson for a 2005 first-round draft pick (become pick #20)
Acquiring Gilbert Arenas, Hedo Turkoglu and Jason Richardson for Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat, Mickael Pietrus and a 2011 first-round pick
Acquiring Tobias Harris, Doron Lamb and Beno Udrih for JJ Redick, Gustavo Ayón and Ish Smith
Acquiring Evan Fournier and Devyn Marble for Arron Afflalo


How exactly did the Dwight trade and the Otis trade that got Arenas, Hedo and JRich positively affect the team?

Beal sounds very obtainable on the FA market. Orlando would need to add Isaac for cost reasons, meaning Beal would need to be acquired via a SnT. But that is super doable.

Time to get the PR firm fired up!!!!!

If he signs with Orlando, he is Orlando's timeline.
