Many Magic fans wanted Powell instead of Ross in the Ibaka trade. I thought Raps fans were really high on him... what happened?

I might be in tbt minority here but I think Ross shooting off the bench might be coveted for the raptors, as we have some good ball handlers and creaters in fvv, Delon and pascal. I think by mid summer they can be traded for each other straight up? Both will get around ten a year?

That said, I really feel norm can be really good, just not sure if he will get the chance on Toronto

This is a huge talent downgrade for Orlando. But at a massive contract savings. If Simmons is redundant to Ross, then he will be shipped saving FA cash is not a bad way to move him on.

That makes... no sense. After this year (17-18) Ross has 1/10.5. Powell has 4/42.

Don't see it being a talent downgrade at all, let alone a huge one.

We all thought Norman will be good and seems he sux so they obviously would love flip him to get Ross back as he fit them perfectly.
Now they will convince you Norm is a future star but didnt get much chances etc.I dont buy that.
