Official Speculation Thread '20-'21 VII: Magic Expected To Retain Core

[thelead]

In any event for a Bol-Bol trade I'm assuming most like Bamba would be involved as well and we'd probably receive Barton in return

Barton has a player option & Bol is in his last year of rookie contract. Magic would be extremely dumb to trade AG for 2 pieces who could be gone in a year

This is reality though

Yup... ‘Hammonds would be really dumb to trade Tobias Harris for a JJ Redick half season rental...’

Yeah, he did that.

We have Bamba, why do we need Bol Bol? Bamba is already a project and Bol is another one? Heck no

Wingspan...can't have enough.

Martins clearly went overboard but there is some truth to that.

Truth to what? Which part?

If you want to say the Magic would be better this year without injuries, then by the literal definition of better, yes they would have more wins.

But there's a massive difference between "we'd be better than the bottom 5" and "we'd be good" and Martins is trying to sell people on the latter.

[RookieStar]

Im with most of you. WTF do we need Bolbol for? I thought he was just a gimmick in the league. Kind of like a Fall/Boban use? No way they are productive in the modern NBA

Seriously though? AG's trade package is centered around Bol2x? What a crappy rumor to hear.

[Skin]

Bol Bol was the 44th pick of the draft. Now instead of easily getting a second round pick to get him, they want to give up Aaron Gordon for him. This front office is just pure comedy.

[Knightro]

Not that I want Bol Bol, because I don't, but given the difference in his salary compared to Gordon's salary he would be a secondary piece to either Gary Harris or Will Barton presumably.

Right. Bol Bol is an interesting name to include but there is more to it. What else? RJ Hampton? I assume their 2021 first rounder is a given.

I still think Culver could recover a little of his value. i just dont believe he is really as bad as he has shown up there. I also would like to see more of Jaylen Nowell, he could be worth a flyer.

Added bonus to AG to the wolves is that he makes the Wolves good enough to pass us in the standings.

I still home the Twolves add a 2021 pick swap option just in case !

[Knightro]

Gordon and Birch for Barton + Bol + Hampton + 2021 1st.

Could switch Harris in for Barton if that's what they prefer.

If you do a deal with TWolves you focus on Edwards hard. If you don’t at least get Bridges, you should be fired.

Huh??

Minny is NOT giving away Anthony Edwards for anything. That isn’t happening if that is what you are suggesting.

Who is Bridges?

I meant Beasley. My bad.

Yeah they aren’t going to give him away but I wouldn’t give AG away either. You make the discussion about Edwards. See if you can. I doubt they do it. If you walk away and you don’t at least get Beasley though and get a bunch of bench fodder, you have failed.

[rcklsscognition]

I don't see anything with Minny straight no third team other than Rubio/Nowell/Picks for AG.

I would take Gary Harris + Bol Bol.
