Trade him asap for as much as you can get. We made the mistake of trying to keep Dwight after his people had a deal with Brooklyn. Instead, they made a deal with Boston and ended up with Tatum and Brown. By the time we traded Dwight, he was in the last year of his deal and less valuable.Orl_Magic wrote:If the NBA expands to Seatle and Paolo demands a trade to Seatle what do we do?

Rarely does a player play in their home city or state. Yeah there are some that returns because of family etc. but it's not a true narrative in the league. If we were a floundering team... Yes... The possibility of it might actually have increased. But we are establishing some greatness right now.... So I don't see that as an issue to be honest.

Kobe was not "born and raised" in Philly. He spent a significant amount of time (7 years I believe) in Italy before heading back to the states for high school in Philly.

You’re the one who started this whole mess by creating that post when he was first drafted. Now you have that in so many people’s heads. I’m so confused why you want this kid off the team.

Well the team improved 12 wins from 2022 to 2023, and then 13 wins from 2023 to 2024. So clearly the Magic should be 14 wins better this year and the team will have a 61-11 record. The maths is quite simple, after all.

But yeah, pretty meh offseason but not the worst either. KCP is a good pickup. Extending Franz is fine. Isaac is a massive gamble. Harris is lol. Being careful about a Suggs extension is smart. Overall the team will only improve as much as Banchero and Wagner improve. Is that two wins? Four? Ten? Who knows.
Long term this team as presently constructed will not win a championship, though, so something has to happen at some point. Right?
