Get it done Larry, make Frank happy again :)


They gave up Sabonis and Oladipo for Ibaka, I don't see any way we can get him for Ellis even if we kick in our #1 pick.


It's likely tough given that other teams interested in a trade include Toronto, San Antonio, Boston and whoever. But he's a free agent and Orlando doesn't want to lose him (and de facto Oladipo and Sabonis) for nothing. So the Magic are mainly going to get lowball offers anyway

Don't know if this was sarcasm or just diabolical. Lol

I would give up anyone other than Teague, George and Turner for Ibaka. Ibaka George and Turner together would be a defensive nightmare for teams in the playoffs. Those two patrolling the paint would open up more opportunities to get out and run with Paul and Jeff. I would offer Glenn Robinson, Thad and a 2nd round pick. GR3 gives them a young defensive wing with upside for Frank to work with and Thad can play the three or four immediately. Hell if they want Ellis they can have him as a consolation. Then Indy can scout and draft a two way wing to develop in round one next season. Additionally Bird can comb summer league for another GR3. The window for contention would be a couple seasons but it would be worth it if the team makes one finals appearance. The big problamo is that in a couple years they may be faced with losing Paul or Myles who will likely command a max extension soon enough.

Payton/Watson
Fournier/Ellis
Young/GR3
Gordon/Young
Vuc/Biyombo


Teague/Stuckey
Miles/Young/ Maybe a D league project guard pickup?
George/Miles
Iblocka/Allen/Jefferson
Turner/Seraphin/Jefferson

In theory it sounds good, but I thought a Biyombo/Ibaka frontcourt would be a lot more beastly on the defensive end than it ended up being for Orlando. So I'm not as sold on this idea, really.

went to Raptors. I would have liked him here but Ross and a first probably more than we could offer.

Pacers should look at Paul Milsap. Two firsts could do the trick. I think he's much above average and will age well and worth another contract.
