Official 2024-2024 Magic Trade Ideas Thread

Coby White seems like he could be gettable from Chicago. With Lavine unmovable, plus Ayo, Giddey and Ball, Coby is prob looking at 6th Man mins at best.

He's not perfect. But he's long, can score some, passes well, can be on or off ball, isn't a horrible defender. Handle isn't really PG level, but it'd immediately be the best of our guards.

Cole and a protected first would do it? Cole will be happier being 6th man in Chi than White will. I would imagine that would be enough as Chi are starved of picks.

Have you checked any Chicago games the past 2 seasons?
He has started all the games he has played, its 2nd in minutes and 3rd in points. He is probably one of their 3 best players, we can offer a protected pick and they can laugh at that.

Orlando are currently betting favorites to land De’Aaron Fox in a potential trade via Brovada.

Doesn’t really mean much, but interesting nonetheless the less.

Heat might give up Tyler Herro.

What would the Magic need to trade at the deadline to get a 34 million PG who is worth the max?

De’Arron Fox to Miami is such a Pat Riley move smh. Meanwhile Jeff Weltman is taking his mid evening nap as usual. One things for certain, Weltman will never tear his oblique trying to do to much and carry this team.

Did you even read the article?

No where did it mention the Heat would be willing to give up Herro, instead it said:

Considering the Magic's abundance of youth, the Heat will need to cut ties with rising star Tyler Herro to land the former No. 5 pick.

Also, this article was from a few days ago. Shams just said today that Miami would listen to offers for Butler and then Butlers agent released a list of preferred teams so this means Butler doesn’t want to resign and has probably asked out privately.

Regarding the trade, nothing will happen until the off season. I highly highly doubt Orlando does anything aggressive this deadline.

Contenders are reaching out regarding Simons. With Franz and Paolo out and a need for a 6th man, could one of the contenders be the magic?

[JoshuaPotter]

Jimmy Butler.....No.

[Skybox]

Simons makes so much sense…Herro would be even better…but only likely (in a 3-way) if MIA was hunting bigger game (like Fox)…in that scenario, ORL should consider outbidding MIA and leaving the empty-handed (like Dame to MIL)

Where is that news? He has been available. He doesn’t play winning ball. Give me Sexton or even Schroeder over Simons.

Wiretap. Schroder is too old, and Sexton is not much of a shooter or playmaker two things the Magic will need from a sixth man. But wouldn't any of them just prefer Simons.

Found the article. Simons is injury prone and is questionable effort at times.

[Husky1]

If we want to stay in top 4 whilst P and F are out then we gotta bit the bullet now and offload Cole/Gary and 2 x firsts for Cam J or the likes.

Coby is going nowhere

I would do that if he wasn't injury prone

Also we need to trade for someone willing to be a backup


Schroeder is expiring so could be added for a fraction of that (and I think could be resigned on the cheap this summer if he enjoys our team culture)

Cole + worst of our 2025 FRP is max I d go for Dennis

I can't see simons, Johnson or claxton been happy with a bench role

[three3d]

https://www.espn.com/nba/team/roster/_/name/okc/sort/position/oklahoma-city-thunder

Perfect trade partner , OKC is LOADED with guard depth

Lu Dort
Cason Wallace
Shai
Caruso
Isaiah Joe
Aaron Wiggins
Nikola Topic ~ injured for the season but was probably top 10 pick before injury news


LOADED !!!! Any one of those 7 guys could start for us , I’d be calling OKC and seeing who they’d give us for Issac + picks and Cole

Pretty bad trade for any of those guys (Topic i havent seen ) All of them are just more of the same without addressing any need. Why do we need a 4th/5th 3&D guard, without good playmaking/self creation?

[cedric76]

I d like to dump Cole for Schroeder or DFS, 2 vets that shouldn't mind too much coming off our bench and stay here long term

Isaiah Joe shooting 38% from 3 would be the best shooter on this team. At this point Jonathan Issac for any of those guys is an upgrade over Jonathan Issac we have right now. We need someone that can play and shoot more than another defensive player. Realistically what’s good isn’t to have a top 3 defense when you have a bottom 5 offense?

[VFX]

Not sure peoples fascination with DFS other than some Mosely connection. Guy will get zero total minutes when Paolo/Franz return and Isaac is healthy for more than 1/6 games. Tristan da Silva is still on the roster.

You can convince me in moving Cole for someone that can actually move an offense and create off the dribble. Honestly wouldn't care if Jett or Caleb were involved either, but thats just me probably.

Coby White or Ayo from Chicago. Schroeder for minimal assets. Bones from LAC. Tre Jones in SA's time is up, but not sure hes a fit.

I waver on Sexton because Ainge will want way more than he's worth and I question his fit in the second unit after being a starter playing 25-30mpg.

[three3d]

I honestly don’t think the asking price for Anfernee Simons can be that high. Simons playing the Cole roll is an upgrade this season and possibly next year, he could move into the starting lineup

Doesn't matter.

Simons is $26m/2 and likely isn't starting in Mosely's system because of defense.

He just doesn't make sense for the money involved prior to paying Paolo, Franz, and Suggs. Magic shouldn't pay a sixth man $26m, they already pay Isaac that money to play 16mpg and he still never plays.
