Kennard would be cheaper, and he's a volume 3-pt shooter.

Murray and Simons would be distantly ahead of LaVine for me, but I do think LaVine would be the easier to acquire.


Simons would do wonders for this team.

I would even slightly overpay in draft capital if it meant we could keep WCJ (which Portland would probably prefer anyway).

Jett isn't going to get the attempts and he is going to get hunted on defense as a rook. Need an actual player with respected gravity out there. Gary isn't cutting it.

I do think LaVine would benefit greatly from a change of scenery, but 3 years, 137.8M left on his deal makes him a tough pill to swallow.

You have to be certain that he's the piece that will put things over the top at that salary point.

The player doesn’t scare me too much… it’s that contract like you said. You have to be certain that he’d fit.

These turnovers are so dumb. Just low risk passes that shouldn't be made.

Bally sucks man they are never ready for live action. Like who's ever in charge of their production needs pink slips.

We keep trying to thread needles instead of just making an easy pass.

Don't know when this will happen but we have to become a team that won't beat ourselves.... That's all we're doing tonight

The Magic are such a good team they are just so young and pieces away. The fact they are hanging with this suns team despite all their issues and mistakes should tell you how good they are.
