Orlando Magic Rumours

18 Jul 2024 16:10:35
Trade rumor--not my creation but reported.

Cleveland sends G Garland to the Orlando Magic.

Orlando sends G's Jalen Suggs, Cole Anthony and F Wendell Carter to Cleveland.

18 Jul 2024 23:03:31
There's a huge difference between reported and some jackass who doesn't know anything concocting it on a fan created website.

19 Jul 2024 14:59:08
FYI, this rumor has been reported on several sports sites by credible individuals. Not claiming anything except that this was reported on several sites. Not a fan created site but from legit sports sites. Lastly, have you read some the the proposals here? At least this has some credible sources--again not saying it will happen but it was reported.

20 Jul 2024 03:22:43
It's a trade that came from Bleacher Report and then other sites mention it to get clicks. No different than you or me concocting it. Credible sources are Lowe, Windhorst, etc.

22 Jul 2024 21:37:10
Too much for Orlando. They should stay the course and keep developing. Suggs improved impressively last year. BTW, so did Garland on years 3 and 4.

02 Jul 2024 21:24:01
Miami Heat: Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin (S&T), Haywood Highsmith (S&T), Orlando Robinson, 1ST.

Chicago Bulls: DeMar DeRozan (S&T), Nikola Vucevic.

Portland / Orlando

Portland - Chuma Okeke, Wendell Carter Jr, Joe Ingles (waive) & 1st round pick
- continue the rebuild, trade Carter for more assets

Scoot
Sharpe
Avdija
Carter (trade)
Clingan

Orlando - Ayton, Simons
- get pieces to compete

Suggs
Simons
Wagner
Banchero
Ayton

27 Jun 2024 23:26:32
The value is fine, not sure of Ayton's fit with Banchero though.

28 Jun 2024 03:33:21
Bad for Portland. This is more than a salary dump, its a fire sale! Two starters for three role players (one to waive) and a late first rounder! Throw in another first rounder and either Anthony or Black from the Magic.

22 Jun 2024 11:03:40
With the Kings resigning Monk, they are currently projected to be over the luxury tax by around $1 mil which will diminish the amount they receive for their MLE. So trading down or away pick #13 can resolve this issue.

Does trading down with a team with salary cap space make sense?

Barnes (82 games last 2 seasons) + #13 to Orlando for #18? Or to Philly for #16
Perhaps even trading down for both Knicks picks and using one to salary dump Barnes to say Utah.

Once Barnes is off the books, then the Kings could offer their Full MLE ($12.8 mil) to let's say Tobias Harris

This would essentially be swapping Barnes for Harris, getting a rookie in the late teens/ early twenties, and staying below the luxury tax line at the start of the season. Seems doable IMO.

22 Jun 2024 18:50:38
It makes sense but it doesn't raise their ceiling unless Murray takes a big step. Do they want to be a nice team or a contender?

22 Jun 2024 19:25:27
@Nightcap. Pretty sure no one available is going to make the Kings appear as a title contender. Maybe PG13? We are going for consistency in making playoffs and removing some of the stain of Sacramento being a sh! t organization.

24 Jun 2024 11:15:43
Can't say I disagree, and that's the Sabonis dilemma. He's great but needs certain types of players around him.

18 Jun 2024 07:18:44
Magic : Dejounte Murray, Clint Capela
Hawks : Anthony Black, Wendell Carter Jr, 2 1st round picks & pick swap

05 Jun 2024 17:42:17
Some lowkey moves from teams in the offseason if they cant pull a blockbuster trade.

Nuggets - sign Gordon Hayward
Pelicans/Magic - sign Tyus Jones
Lakers - find way to get Caruso & KCP back
Thunder - add Isaiah Hartenstein
Kings - trade away Huerter for a 3 and D wing like Caruso, Bruce Brown, etc. or PF who plays D like Vanderbilt etc.
Warriors - grab an available not so expensive big like Holmes, Capela or anyone

05 Jun 2024 00:00:37
Orl - d murray + capela
- sign gary trent jr

Murray Anthony
Suggs Trent
Franz
Banchero
Capela

Atl - 2 1sts from magic, 1st from memphis, A Black, J ingles (waive), L kennard, J konchar, 2nd from memphis

Young Black bufkin
Bogdanovic Kennard
Bey Konchar griffin
Johnson Hunter
Sarr Okongwu

Mem - Wendell carter jr

Morant rose
Bane smart christopher
Jackson williams
Jackson jr williams jr
Carter jr clarke aldama

03 Jun 2024 07:03:22
Magic: T Young
Orl: Black+Isaac+#18+1rnd pick Denver or orl 25+ 1rnd pick Phoe or orl 26+ 1rnd pick Orl 27

Orl
C: Carter
PF: Banchero
SF: Wagner
SG: Suggs
PG: T Young

03 Jun 2024 12:46:47
I'm not crazy about Young for Orlando because Banchero and Wagner have some promise as initiators. They need a pg, but maybe one who isn't quite so ball dominant. A better shooter as well.

03 Jun 2024 14:09:02
And what if Atlanta replace T Young for Murray?

03 Jun 2024 19:31:33
I like Murray better.

27 May 2024 20:17:27
Raptors need to add a bench to even be considered a play in team.

Let's get ride of some dead weight

Boucher needs to go. I say we go after another canadian who's career seems to be going down hill

Raptors trade boucher and brown for Wiggins and 2nd.

Then we sign and trade Trent Jr. To Orlando for Issac. Raptors need more size and defense adding Issac would help us. We can have Wiggins start next to barrett and Quickley. And have Barnes and poeltl down low. With Issac even possibly starting over Wiggins.

Will have Grady dick and our drafted players. Now we just need a few vets to help shape the bench out.

28 May 2024 01:44:24
Orlando doesnt need a sign and trade especially if they are givingup Isaac.

23 May 2024 00:35:39
Bucks-Magic-Heat

Receive:

Bucks: T. Herro
C. Martin
C. Anthony

Magic: D. Robinson

Heat: D. Lillard
M. Beuchamp
j. Howard

23 May 2024 04:00:19
i'd say it's a pretty big no from both the bucks and the magic.

23 May 2024 11:30:09
If that's all it took to get Lillard then Miami would already have him.

24 May 2024 15:11:25
Add in Jaquez, Jovic, and 2-3 firsts from Miami and maybe the Bucks consider it. But I don’t think the Bucks are wanting to move Dame.

15 May 2024 13:43:40
1) Atl-Wolves

Alt:KAT
Wolves:Bogdanovic+Capela+ 1st pick 24

2)Atl-Nets-Orl

Orl: Murray
Atl:Bridges
Nets: 1rnd pick Orl 24-25+ 1rnd pick sac (from atl) 24+ 1rnd pick Denver 25

Atl
C:KAT
PF:Okungwu
SF:Bridges
SG:Griffin
PG:T Young
sixth: Hunter

15 May 2024 14:41:31
Wolves are going to want more for KAT.

16 May 2024 07:57:31
Bogdanovic and Capela are on expiring contracts.
The Wolves get a first overall and capspace back so they have the flexibility to sign other players.
That's a good deal for the Wolves.

16 May 2024 13:37:02
A 1st overall in the weakest draft in decades lol stars are going for a lot more than expiring and a 1 in a week draft the wolves are going to want a few more 1sts before they think pecan think about it.

17 May 2024 14:18:54
Sarr and capspace so you can sign some good rollplayers is a good deal.
KAT is only the third best player on the team and they have to pay him over 50 million. He's a great offensive player, but this is Edwards team, 50 million for a second option that can't play defense is to much.

13 May 2024 14:32:18
This trade makes a ton of sense for these teams

Hawks - ingram, fultz (s&t), okeke, pick 18, pick 21, future 1st from pelicans & pick swap from magic, pick swap from Pels
- they will only do this if young requested, this package is a good return for their star

Murray/Fultz
Bogdanovic/Griffin
Ingram/Bey
Johnson/Hunter/Okeke
Sarr (pick 1)/Okongwu

Pels - young, capela
- adds a star point who can create for this team, gonna be a new lob city

Young/Alvarado
Murphy/Hawkins
Jones/Daniels
Williamson/Nance
Capela/Free agent

Magic - mccollum
- magic is on the rise, adding a vet with ton of experience can boost their chances especially on the position of need

Suggs/Anthony
Mccollum/Black
Wagner/Houstan
Banchero/Ingles
Carter/Wagner

18 Apr 2024 05:12:41
I'm sure you will correct me if I'm wrong but this three team trade would use an expiring contract in order to move his bird rights on or before NBA draft night.

Raps send Gary Trent and Chris Boucher to the Magic

Magic send Jonathan Isaac (back up 4 beside Kelly) to Raps and Gary Harris (expiring contract to create cap space) to Wolves

Wolves send Naz Reid to Raps (starting 4 beside Yak)

Raps would need ta send draft compensation to Wolves as well

18 Apr 2024 13:39:20
Can't trade expiring contracts after the trade deadline.

18 Apr 2024 15:36:25
And the Wolves are not doing it.

Thoughts? Who says no?

01 Apr 2024 13:22:04
Why would the pacers do this?

09 Apr 2024 03:00:39
to be honest, they don't have a good reason to. But for 1 team out of 15, it'd be pretty easy to transfer another first to them or something.

17 Apr 2024 22:41:18
Hell no as a Magic fan.

24 Mar 2024 19:06:05
Does a Harrison Barnes for Jonathan Isaac trade make any sense for both teams? Sac gets a PF playable next to Sabonis and Orl gets a veteran known for his leadership.

24 Mar 2024 20:42:31
I can’t see any way Orlando would do that.

25 Mar 2024 06:08:02
So who is mentoring/ leading this team in the locker room?

25 Mar 2024 13:03:23
Magic should sign Bruce Brown instead. Isaac is a defensive monster.

25 Mar 2024 15:57:24
THey can get someone in the Garrett Temple/ Thad Young mold. No need to give up Isaac for a substantially worse player.

25 Mar 2024 23:35:04
I get the idea of it. But Mentoring doesn’t carry that price tag. Orlando needs to keep their core intact.

29 Mar 2024 20:37:36
Isaac was going to be a key member for the Magic before he got hurt (several times) . They decided to keep him and pay him even though he didn't play for 3 years or so. Since then, he was replaced by Banchero and Franz, but he is still a key contributor off the bench. Orlando has a good young team that is starting to come together. No need to bring in anyone in a "mentor" role.

17 Mar 2024 19:50:51
Nets/Raptors/Kings Offseason Moves

Raptors receive Ben Simmons 2026 1st (Kings) lottery protected 2026 2nd (Pistons or Magic or Bucks) 2026 2nd (Nets)

Nets receive Kevin Huerter & Chris Boucher

Kings receive Bruce Brown

18 Mar 2024 00:35:05
Kings say no I think, Nets are getting a lot of value. I think they have to give a first.

25 Feb 2024 16:17:26
Magic 2024 Off-Season

07 Mar 2024 21:44:47
At this point, there is no way to determine who the Magic will draft. We don't even know where they will end up in the order. Also, Monk for $17.5 million per year? Ridiculous! Fultz and Harris both have been contributors, they both should be retained at the right price.

05 Feb 2024 07:46:35
