This is good news. So we can trade him on draft night, right?

Last year we waited until draft day for the Markelle Fultz trade. I think it was draft day?

Unfortunately the madness for us will be seeing the Magic do nothing.

Well unless its to take another project longboi despite inerviewing the scoring guard need we have.

Yeah, would be nice for him to sign right away so we can trade him before the draft.

AG won’t be on the Magic at the end of the day IMO.

Draft night will be wild.

BUT if Nets get Harden, half of teams from East will lay low because window on East will be closed.

Isnt our offer of Fultz, Bamba, Gordon, 2020 frp, 2022 frp better than Nets ?

We could go with Harden/Fournier/Okeke/Aminu/Vucevic Dj/MCW/Ross/Birch (Isaac in 2021)

we don't have KD and Kyrie. Harden is only interested in going somewhere to win a title.

Propably you are right but maybe Fertitta doesnt care ? There is no Morey and D'Antoni in his corner anymore. Roster above has every chance to make ECF imo.

Oooh dear basketball gods, hear my honest prayer. Please please make a deal for that French bum possible tonight or by draft night. I don't want much, just any kind of a trade to get him out of here, any combination of role players, young talent, late 1st pick, 2nd rounders would suffice only to see him off the roster. Please bball gods, let him be gone. AMEN!!!

Acquiring RW will make the team intriguing to watch for at least a season, but it will also instantly erase the little positive our lazy front office made the last 3 years. Like it or not, Russell's contract would be like a cancer to what we are trying to build in Orl. Not a fan of acquiring a 32 years old, injury-prone non-shooter that relies on outrunning, outjumping opponents, entirely dependent on his declining athleticism on the wrong side of 30s. And pay him $130+ over 3 seasons if he is healthy, naaaah paaaassss. No thanks!

Russ never played with a big as skilled as vuc, could be a great pick and roll duo

True, Westbrook and Vuc fit well on theory, Russ will destroy defenses and provide assists for Vuc to score in a variety of easy ways around the paint, BUT...just think about what would our perimeter offense look like with non-shooters like Fultz, Russ, Iwundu, Aminu, AG and on and off unreliable guards like TRoss and the French croissant. Not a good future perspective.
