Official 2025-2026 Magic Trade ideas thread

Need to remember these posts when the Magic make the ECF's.

Haha... For real.

Not every team asserts dominance like the returning OKC champions. We're not the same teams.... We don't have the same players..... We're all on different paths. No use getting out of sorts because the first 8 games haven't been great. When these individuals hit their stride ... And hoping that happens soon.... We will see the public outlook.

RealGM or RealCheerleader?

boring

If you want instant gratification that won't take years, there is always NBA2K where you can be a RealGM!

Man..... People are now sour on Bane too? 8 games into the season. Let them figure things out. Players and coaching staff. Happy for the extra days after a 5 game road trip. We aren't making our expectations.. . Yet .... But they are a work in progress still... No matter how you cut it. The more they play.... The more they get experience.... The more they tweak to get it right.

Are they really sour on Bane? People on here are so quick to defend criticisms like we're talking about their kid or something. Anybody would be disappointed (none more than Bane himself) but pretending everything's going swimmingly two weeks after people are (equally ridiculously) calling for a 60 win season a year after dragging the league's worst offense to the play-in...that's silly.

I don't expect or want to trade Paolo or Suggs but it's a lot more interesting to discuss than checking in 5x per day to confirm that "everything's gonna be just swell".

Is Klay cooked or could we save him from Dallas with a mix of JI/Goga/Jett??

BTW Zion's trade value is the lowest it has been. (Emoji: What now, bro?)

messing around with the Spotrac trade machine and it shows us holding DEN's 2026 frp...still a side effect of Gordon trade...this isn't correct, is it?

what tradable frps do we presently hold?

[Skybox]

ORL sends: Paolo Banchero ($41,500), Jonathan Isaac (14,500), Goga Bitadze (7,600)
UTA sends: Lauri Markannen ($46,113), Walker Kessler ($20m per ext SnT)

Does ORL get a frp back as well?

Kessler, WCJ, Moe
Lauri, Penda
Franz, TdS
Suggs, AB
Bane, Jase (maybe Tyus sticks around?)
