The pick will be The Lakers' 2020 2nd.

It's a decent move for The Magic and gives them another wing.

Does Ennis start over Iwundu?

Ennis' career as a starter: 9 ppg, 49% fg, 39% 3pt, 61 TS% in 85 games

Will he take his 2m player option this summer?

Limited offensive skillset and below-average 3pt shooter for his career. He will fit right in.

I dont see how you dont start him at sf. As much as Clifford is more comfortable with iwundu cause of familiarity you have to see if ennis can give you somewhat of a diffrent look for this team. He is a better shooter and plays about as hard as iwundu does. To me you have to start him for now and see if it can change any dynamic of this team.

Good move by his agent to waive the no trade clause. I think he has a chance to start here and we might make the playoffs, which could help him possibly get a couple more years in the NBA.

Solid little move here. If its the Lakers 2nd its a low risk upgrade.

Small upgrades like this dont mean much in the grand scheme, he may help this year though we will see.

The biggest "hidden value" of this trade could be moving Gordon to power forward and increasing his trade value in the summer. Ennis is a fine player, i remember some teams fighting for.him not so long ago. Good reserve, maybe limited time starter. The pick was useless.

Hopefully we don't make it.

He does make our bench a lil better and perhaps pushes Birch to the bench and get us playing more wing players. Seems better than Iwundu.

"Ennis the Menace" is his nickname I guess.
He's from Ventura, CA. I like him already!

A 29 y/o career journeyman.
Veteran presence.
Not a building block for the future, but a nice piece for now.

Pretty high bar there.

Milwaukee is going to be terrified to play us now!

Its not but its better than nothing. I was not expecting a substantial move so I'm not upset either way. Moves are likely to be made in summer during the draft where I expect AG to be sent packing. We didn't draft Okeke with the thought of keeping both AG and Issac around.

You should consider changing your name. We won't be #1 in our lifetime.
