Has anyone heard of Suggs wanting a trade?

From Joe Cowley’s mock draft. Chicago writer.
6. Orlando Magic
Ausar Thompson, PG/SG, Overtime
Elite
Here's where AK and his front office should be focusing on. The Magic have a logjam at guard, and the whispers are Jalen Suggs would like to be elsewhere. Go get him, AK!

He’s hearing things. No mention of him wanting out anywhere.

This would've gotten out somewhere. Though it wouldn't shock me. It doesn't seem like it's legit. I think the Magic still see him very much as part of the future of the team. I think they're opting to develop him slowly and try to curb his really bad habits when it comes to his play and injuries.

He's one of those guys if he becomes a lot more centered, increases his IQ, and doesn't play as wildly he has Star tools to be great. But again his basic understanding of the game compared to a Paolo/Wagner/Fultz hurts him. So we'll see if that changes in year 3/4 if he's still here.

"Go get him!" Lol. What would CHI possibly have that would convince us to give up Suggs?

A guy like Suggs will want to be a starter, but it's more been injury than the coach that has limited that possibility.

I doubt there's much to it.

There is a lot of overlap between Suggs, Cole, and Fultz...

a chicago writer mocks a guard to Orlando and then says well the Magic's best future guard should now be available. See how easy that is to say lol :lol: :lol:
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

Obvious manipulation from Chicago writer. Butt must still be hurting after Suggs game winner.
Jalen seems like the most commited Magic player. He will start soon before he is traded.

Suggs has a future in Orlando.

If he’s moved Chicago better be giving us a crazy return for one of the best defenders in the league.

I’m moving Fultz or Cole if it’s a minutes/starting issue.

Suggs and Paolo are pretty close teammates. They always talk about how they can count on one another (apparently the whole team has this sentiment on Jalen)

He aint going anywhere. He has glue-guy written all over him

I guess we’ll know if true or not if we draft Cason Wallace or Black. Haha

Suggs has been a starter a couple of times, but he got hit with injuries. In the second half of last season, it looked like they were restricting his minutes so he wouldn't injure himself again.

I just don't see this. I see an average NBA athlete who doesn't quite understand his limitations yet, and that is what leads to his injuries.

His offensive skills and iq are lacking and are behind quite a few guys we can take at 11.

It's not like he has natural physical advantages that he can build off of like Paolo and Franz.

Suggs strikes me as a player who could help a good team right now as a defender and his three point shooting may develop faster as well if he's playing next to stars. But on our young team he is trying to build his entire game on offense and I just never thought he was the best player to invest that much in.

Anthony Black has really high iq, just needs to work on the three point shot which players have shown that they can develop over time. If we take Black that will signal that the team lacks alot of confidence in any of our young guards.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

This should be a big concern and a big reason I am skeptical we will draft any of the guards 6-4 or shorter. Our guards are going to start getting restless and we will have to trade one of them if we draft any of the following: Cason Wallace, Bufkin, George. At least if you draft Ausar or Black they can play with Suggs and Anthony. We need forward depth with shooting ideally and a backup big. We are way to crowded at guard with a bunch of players that think they should be starting.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

I also see this news as something coming out of Chicago because they want to move off of Lavine. Of course they’d want Suggs. A Caruso and Suggs back court would be crazy defensively.
