Cade Cunningham + Ausar Thompson + Sarr (via 2024 Pistons 1st)
Assuming Magic scout and love Sarr.
This is a legit Magic lineup:
WCJ | Sarr (when ready)
Banchero | Isaac
Ausar | Ingles? | Houstan | Jett
Suggs
Cade | Anthony
I don't really understand this trade. This would be a trade that would make sense if we were rebuilding but I think the Magic are going forward with playoff expectations.
Playoff teams don't trade known quantities for draft question marks, usually. Franz, outside of game 7, looks like a future allstar. Black, when he was having to do emergency starts during the 8 available players portion of our season, looked like a great future guard. I don't think you trade that for a wildly underachieving 1st round pick with injury question marks and a 1 dimensional athlete. I am not sure the Magic would even take Sarr with that pick...
Maybe I am super wrong here. That said I think is fair value just not the right direction.
