My top trade targets that are possibly on the block are: 1. CG Anfernee Simons - Blazers. 2. G/F Mikal Bridges - Nets 3. PG Trae Young - Hawks 4. PG Darius Garland - Cavs. I would add both Simons and Bridges, but definitely Simons, if possible and use Cole Anthony, Jett Howard, Caleb Houstan, and lots of draft compensation as collateral while trying to keep our frontcourt intact and our 2 young defensive backcourt studs in Suggs and Black. Man, the Magic really could have done so much better than Howard at 11 last year. He will be good, but not as good as a few other guys taken after him. My top 3 prospects on the board at 11 were 1. Jordan Hawkins (the game of a young Klay Thompson in the body of a young Kerry Kittles) 2. Grady Dick 3. Keyonte George. In hindsight my top 2 picks would have been 1. Hawkins and 2. George (who proved to be a far better playmaker and passer than I thought, allowing him to play as a tall PG instead of an average height ball dominant SG). Dick was good, but not on either one of their levels last year. Podziemski would have been better than Howard, who is a spot up shooter, which just isn't as valuable as players who are in constant motion a la Steph and Klay in their heyday. In this year's draft the Magic have pick 18 and the 5 players I most like that could be there at 18 or available with a small trade up to 12 -15 are: 1. PG Jared McCain - Duke (being criminally undervalued and has a game similar to a young Steph Curry - can play point, shoot the lights out of the ball with deep range and will be in constant motion when the ball is not in his hands) 2. C Kal'el Ware - Indiana (Similar body type, athletic profile, and game to Sarr. Has a good shot with range, good rebounder and shot blocker, has some post up moves and is a really good passer) 3. PF Tyler Smith - G League Ignite (a cross between Bam Adebayo and Kevin Durant - not saying on that level, but is very bouncy and is a good shot blocker at 6'9" with long arms and a sweet looking jumper with deep range. Is a great lob threat and cutter to the basket as well) 4. CG Carlton "Bub" Carrington - Pitt (has a really good all around game, plays with pace and can run the show as a tall PG with a solid shooting stroke, good handles and good passing - good defender as well) 5.SF Tristan Da Silva - Colorado (tall, long, and thin with a sweet shooting stroke from deep and good all around game) There are others that would be solid picks as well, but these are my favorite. My free agent targets would be as follows and depending on what trades and or draft picks are made: 1. CG Malik Monk - Kings 2. SG Gary Trent, Jr. - Raptors 3. CG Isaiah Likely - Raptors 4. PG Tyus Jones - Wizards 5. SF Patrick Williams - Bulls. I do not want to sign players in their mid to late 30s - that's a different timeline than the one we are working on now. Our core is too young and should only be looking to sign players in their 20s to early 30s. If we are able to say, in some fantasy get both Simons and Bridges in trade, keep our frontcourt intact, keep our 2 young defensive backcourt studs in Suggs and Black, then, and only then, would I consider signing Klay Thompson or Paul George to provide the veteran leadership needed in the playoffs, but would still prefer to sign the lesser, but much younger, Gary Trent, Jr. in that case.
Yea..i would just ask them to be consistently decent first.."take over" is a stretch..also not saying much when the division only has one good team, one oddly inconsistent team, and two trash ass teams. Make the playoffs regularly first, this is the magic we are talking about
Right... 22 to 34 to 47 wins the last three seasons... If we make threes and fts we win a lot more last year.. you don't know what you're talking about
