Both fanbases should team up to break the Internet by drowning out the trolls with effusive praise for the other team's player. Make it the opposite of Trae/Luka.
You only need a small group to get it started!
While that would be great, it seems like Scottie and Jalen will forever be linked for the same reason Luka and Trae are. Worked out well for both teams in the 2018 draft since both Luka and Trae turned out great. Here’s hoping the same thing happens here too
My idea was in jest to really lean into it, but I’m not sure it will ever reach Trae/Luka levels. In that case, both teams had an active part in the trade, so both fan bases had reason to be anxious. In this case, the Magic were completely passive in the whole thing. (Certainly if Masai had been able to fleece the Magic FO as rumored to trade up one spot, that would be different.)
Obviously some Magic fans couldn’t contain their glee on draft night. Otherwise, Barnes wasn’t available at 5, so why should we care other than to feed trolls like in this thread?
That means the interest in linking the two players will mostly be one-sided. So it’s hard to see it taking on the same impact as Trae/Luka.
