It would definitely make the conversation a lot more interesting.
that's getting too rich for ORL and not taking Williams or Vuc...ORL will be butting up against the apron as it is - not giving up unprotected picks and solid prospects AND taking on bad money for Coby (and his potential overpay). I like Coby...but there are others that could do the job in ORL.
Neither Nikola Vucevic nor Patrick Williams would be traded to the Magic in any trade for Coby White trade. Very likely,Patrick Williams or Nikola Vucecvic would be on the Hornets on my reconstructed version of the original trade proposal.
OK...but if LAL's final goal is KCP, ORL takes Reaves over Coby any day...even including their frp which would go to LAL instead of elsewhere. ORL could take back Kleber, Vincent or Vanderbilt to salary balance KCP. ORL could even include a C, which is what LAL needs more, in WCJ or Goga. But ORL's certainly not offering the same package + 2 really strong prospects in Black and da Silva to get Coby and then give him $20m+ when Reaves has 2 more years at $14.5 per.
IF Reaves is unavailable, ORL could deal direct with CHI, but despite Coby's recent burst...I'd say ORL frp and a salary match (say Cole Anthony, who's expiring, or WCJ-who I assume doesn't interest). If it's Black and Jett, then I'd only offer DEN 25 frp with them. Sorry - Don't mean to hijack your thread...I just keep seeing KCP and not much else landing in LAL and it kills it for me...because I'd rather have Reaves' playmaking over Coby (either would be great for ORL).
