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

[MagicFan101]

John Morgan is a clown, however, his assessment of this organization is spot on

Try unrepentant **** who told police that if he killed a family in a DUI it was "fine" because he was "more important than the whole family".

Ill stop. I don't want to get myself banned.

I believe it. I’ve heard the stories from people who have worked for him. Typical de... you know what, I’ll stop myself right there.

I have been gone from Orlando for over 10 years now. Did I miss something? Why is everyone scared to speak their mind on this asshat?

[MagicStarwipe]

Anyone else really expecting to be disappointed tomorrow

I think all these offers we're taking about are bull and in the end we going to get something like

2 2nd rounders (that Weham will just sell off) for Evan and something like Langford, a 2024 1st rounder (lotto protected) and tristan thompson for AG, and if we get thompson, then we trade birch for some teams backup PG

I'd be amazed that they did a deal at all. But yeah, a return like that would surely get them fired. Which would be a good thing.

Since Clifford hates him, trade Mo Bamba for a player to be named later.

48 hours later, welcome “Joe Honda” to the team. Clever little ruse.

Minny Athletic guy on the deadline & Aaron Gordon as of this morning

"It would likely take Beasley and more to get him, and that appears unlikely at the moment."

"The Wolves have been getting a lot of calls on Beasley and rookie Jaden McDaniels, sources said, but there is a reluctance to part with two promising young players with value across the league. Beasley will return to the team from a 12-game suspension on Friday, giving the Wolves a knockdown 3-point shooter that they have sorely missed. Among the reasons to move Beasley now would be if they have concerns about the off-the-court behavior that earned him the suspension. To this point, the Wolves have been in Beasley’s corner and pledged to help him through his issues."

People calling for McDaniels across the league.... gah. Still wish we drafted him ahead of Cole.

I remember your thread.

That would be nice to get a roster overhaul today.

I'm so hyped , knowing that at least Fournier and Gordon wont be appearing any more on the Magic's players name list.
What a win.

AG might be likely, but there's no guarantee that either will be traded.

How I want the trade deadline to go:

Fultz showing up for the next game:

Apparently everyone is waiting for the Magic and Raptors to make a move before the dominoes fall. And Raptors are asking too much for Lowry.

[jonbob17]

Lowe just suggested Jayden Mccdaniels as a player we would love to get back in an AG trade. I have to admit he seems somewhat interesting.

Gordon for Rubio + Nowell + McDaniels?

I don't think that MIN would do that. I proposed a similar trade on the T/T forum which included Cole Anthony and getting back scraps instead of Rubio and even that was hard fought.

It's a good thing homers that over value their guys don't run teams. Oh, wait.

I have faith in WeHam. I don't think Martins or DeVos put any basketball decisions on WeHam. In fact, we keep forgetting that they researched FO Execs in-depth, and paid higher team salaries, more than most teams out there. WeHam just found themselves in some horrible seasons to sell, a lot of bad blood from mistakes when they weren't even here yet, and with the least helpful lottery system for tanking teams to date.

I still like the extensions they've given out. The JI pick was big. Yeah, they've been starting to show themselves as a sleepy FO, but did any of y'all see this much interest in Magic players in the past trade deadlines and offseasons? WeHam has been buying/extending low, selling high. And right now, like 8 teams are calling on AG. Fournier, Vooch, and Ross are all drawing big interest too. It's like I've said 10+ times before; the landscape of the NBA was going to really favor ORL's FO at some point, and showing you're fine not picking up the phone means there's a bite to the bark inside of the ORL FO.

What's the elevator speech on how the NBA landscape is going to favor this front office?

You 100% cash in on Birch & Ennis even if it’s 2nd round picks.

[Nyce_1]

I wonder what stealth teams are out there with offers.
