They're in need of a franchise PG.
We are not.
If we are in position to draft someone they project strongly as franchise PG, who would you demand from their roster if they came calling, if not Suggs?
Just seems unlikely to me that they trade away their former top 5 pick PG that is breaking out so they can take another roll of the dice in the top 5 on a PG.
I agree Suggs is the most likely Magic target for us given their roster construction, I just don't get why they'd be that interested.
The trade hinges on the Magic evaluation of Topic. They'd have to really covet him as a bedrock piece of their core with Franz and Banchero. Magic would have to have Topic #1 on their board. In which case they solve their PG position longterm.
Do they consider Suggs universally untouchable? I'm not sure.
Topic isn't even a lock to be a top 5 pick right now. I think you overvaluing how many teams are lusting over trading established starters to get him.
