Magic go star-chasing

[The Real Dalic]

If they are going for an older guy, a two year deal makes the most sense for sure... if thing don't work out they are a large expiring contract after a year to possibly move in a deal for a better fit or younger player. Klay 2 years $50 million makes way more sense than Klay 3 years $66 million.

It would probably have to be 2 years 60 millions or even slightly more since he already turned down about 20+ per year from the Warriors if we want to believe that report.

That was before he had a crappy year. 2yr/48 was the report before the season. I'd bet he would jump at it now.

Maybe to re-join the Warriors since he loves it over there and they love him. But for strangers like my Magic who are unproven, I'd be shocked tbh.

This isn't 2K. There is so much more to plugging guys in than skill on paper.

Case in point, 90% of the players mentioned in this thread are guys the FO would have no interest in from a personality standpoint, no disrespect to anyone (posters or players).

Speculate away, but I question if anyone has really watched the Magic this season. And on top of that, I believe most people (posters and casuals) underestimate what players and agents think of the organization.

It won't happen and I want to see a full offseason/training camp with the "big 3" but Bradley Beal makes too much sense. Can be in that Batman and Robin role with Banchero while he develops.

Beal is untradeable with his contract and what the Suns gave up for him (plus he is a close friend of KD and Phoenix don't want to upset Durant)

I have never been to Florida, but I don't understand why Miami has always been a destination city for potential stars/free agents but not Orlando ? Reckon it would be awesome playing next/near to Disney Land.

Orlando has attracted big free agents until they had that long stretch of being bad after Dwight. TMac, Grant Hill, Horace Grant, and Rashard Lewis.

Russell gives them more floor spacing and a legit No. 3 option.

[CobraCommander]

None of the above - is that an option?

If they really trust Paolo to take the next level (superstar) then they don't need another high-priced one just continue developing these guys (Wagner, Suggs) and updgrade the position of need (PG first, then C). Monk, Claxton sounds about right...

[Braggins]

Monk would be pretty nice on Orlando.

50 million with the current cap situation and coming increases is not untradeable. That's been blown out of proportion. It would be hard to trade but doable. Role players like Nurk are making near 20 mill. As I stated tho, it won't happen. Trading away KD or Beal 1 year in after what they traded away would be a laughing stock move.

Siakam and OG will use the Magic as leverage to secure their max contracts.

How so?? They are forwards. Our 2 best players play the exact positions as them.... forward. Makes no sense. If anything Philly would be the team to use that leverage with since they are losing Tobias most likely.

I'd max Siakam. Paolo can play at the 3 and Franz at the 2.

Cmon man that fit is awful. Paolo is a pure pf.

[Wolveswin]

Melo or Cade. That is their star hunting. Maybe Trae if he becomes available.

He looks better at 3 to me. He played it a lot this season when Isaac came in to play the 4.
