To Orlando
Jordan Poole

To Washington
KCP
Gary Harris
Corey Joseph
#7

To New Orleans
#16
#18
#40

The pelicans go for more volume of talent. You could also swap in the Nets or Raptors at this spt for #8 and #9 respectively

The wizards go for a big swing. They can select Fears and Johnson to form their backcourt if the future to add to Sarr and Bilal. If everyone breaks out it could be extremely promising.

The magic get a scorer at a low cost. Get rid of bad money in the process. Poole can definitely thrive in Orlando and return to his pre draymond Warriors form

This is too good for Washington at everyone else's expense.

Hideous for Orl. Jordan Poole is trash and Washington should pay to get rid of him, not get paid.

Obviously, Washington would gladly accept this offer and run!

Jordan Poole getting the 7th pick is crazy. Also, pick 7 is worth more than picks 16 and 18, pick 40 is just a throw in. Not a realistic scenario.

This is really bad.

No one wants Poole at that cost.

Yeah. If you took the picks out maybe you could convince Orlando to take a chance on Poole for KCP + some roster floatsam. But no way they're surrendering a top-20 pick for the privilege.

Low cost? Paying Jordan Poole over 30 million, while also having to give up the 16th pick in the draft is not low cost at all. The Magic are paying a 6th man level player to be a borderline all star level and paying assets on that of that. The Magic are far better off trading for Coby White or even Anfernee Simons if they have to move the 16th pick for a non all star level guard. Also somehow Poole's contract,along with the 18th and 40th picks is enough to get the 7th pick in the draft. This is far too good for the Wizards and a deal that nobody else even entertains doing, even with adjustments.

If we posted addresses on here OP would need witness protection treatment to stay safe from ORL fans for this one

Saying the Magic "Get rid of bad money in the process" in a deal where they take on extra money for Jordan Poole is DIABOLICAL

This is highly unrealistic. Poole is a negative contract, not one that gets you a lotto pick. Atrocious for everybody except Wizards.
