Another great reason for trading Gordon now.
Exactly and for a good return.
I really like Hampton.

Yeah, I remember you really liking him. He really liked us too. OKC and ORL were his top 2 desired destinations.
I feel cautiously optimistic about him because he has a lot going for him. You just never know with young players. He could be absolutely fantastic or he might be Dante Exum. Love his ability to be a secondary playmaker. I'm hoping for Suggs or Green in the draft, but Hampton's versatility to play PG or SG will get him minutes which makes him a promising piece to keep around and cheer for.
I wanted Jaden McDaniels from MIN since they were interested in Gordon, but Hampton is a good return.

He did like Orlando. You did have that thread up with our big boards.
The Draft will be fun with a high first and probably a mid-first. Hampton's potential is like you say although they might have traded for also another Slam-Dunk Champion. I think Hampton is going to be a lot more than that though.

Just wanna chime in. I wanted Hampton before Cole as well. Especially since we weren't moving up. I still felt we needed a SG more than a PG anyway.
So, happy surprise we got both Cole and RJ. It somewhat balances the downer of getting back Harris instead of a better deal.

Why was Orlando nice to Boston here? The Magic gets a tiny bit less cap space, but for what in return?
Maybe cash-considerations were part of this, as the media might not have reported that.
Also: when are these two SRPs? Is it 2021 and 2022?
