Getting an expiring contract in Humphries is nice and all, but Nelson is one of the few vets that I would like to see stay in a Magic uniform. Moving BBD for Humphries and Tyshawn Taylor. Taylor looked really good in the D-league and what little he did play this year he looked pretty good. Almost 50% 3pt. Both contracts are expiring contracts, so if Taylor doesn't look good, them no harm no fowl. As an added bonus Taylor played at Kansas as well.
Again, I wasn't trying to sell the BK package, I was more wondering what Orlando would expect to get for Nelson and BBD as more than one poster said they could do better...including one who said they could get them young players or picks.
I just personally don't think we should trade both of them. I think it's a sure thing we'll trade Afflalo, which leaves Davis and Nelson the only real veteran leaders on the team and I think even rebuilding teams need some veteran leadership to set an example. My preference is to keep Nelson for one more season and hope that one of our younger players is ready and experienced enough to be the locker room leader after next season when Nelson's contract is only half guaranteed.
