Utah Orlando prospect swap 

Post#1 » by Xman » Sun Mar 23, 2025 5:39 pm

Orlando could use Kessler. And KG if his shot is right.
All these guys can use a fresh start.

Orlando gets Kessler, Hendrix and KGeorge
Utah gets Jett, Black and picks (15, 25)

Have picks going to Utah due to Kessler being most valuable player.

Carter, Bitadze, Wagner, Isaac…are we sure Orlando needs Kessler and not a PG?

Magic shouldn’t send picks with Black for the privilege of paying Kessler.

ORL sends: AB, Jett, Wendell Carter, pick #15 & #42
UTA sends: Kessler, Sexton

No interest in moving Kessler or Hendrix in these proposals, but happy to make a deal for George. Sexton would be a nice fit in Orlando.

Yeah that probably makes more sense. I'm personally not super high on Keyonte or Hendricks (or AB/Jett for that matter, tbh) but I can see Ainge clinging to his drafted players and wanting to add more "prospects" and picks while they tank for another 1-2 seasons.

I don't really see this as interesting, either. Last thing we need is to swap a center and a forward for more guards.
