Why is he smokescreening with teams that normally wouldn't be smokescreening with like Knicks, Mavs, Nets, etc. Normally big market teams are the best to smokescreen with.

Is there not a point where there simply isn’t much difference between $180-200 million and ~$250 million? What is the marginal utility? Don’t emotional and social quality of life have significant value? Unless you are creating a substantial nonprofit, it would seem the additional wealth would have diminishing value.

Afro Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 What even would the Magic trade? Franz, Carter, Anthony(Cole), and picks? This one feels like the obvious "this is a negotiating tactic" type of inclusion. I mean, Paolo/Pascal/Black isnt a terrible place to build off of, but thats almost a 10 year gap in ages, with not a whole lot else around them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow — Carter and Franz would be a coup for an expiring contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying that this means we should be satisfied. Just don’t force a move… stay the course. This is tantamount to running it back like we did last year minus Gallo and didn't adequately address the PF and C positions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just waived Bol Bol to help clear up their abundance at the 4/5? Posturing? I'm sure they'd have to send back Carter and more so that could help, but are they going to play Banchero and Siakam as interchangeable PF and C? In other news, good to have my old username profile back. Thanks to those behind the scenes who got me back online. Although this username doesn't make sense for this season in life, it only feels right after years on this site using it. lol. Hey! There's Dragitoff! Just like old times. It's like you never became a realtor. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I am missing something that the more in depth posters could mention, but it doesn't make a whole lotta sense. If you include Franz, it makes sense for the Raptors, but not so much for the Magic. If you dont include Franz, it makes sense for the Magic, but not for the Raptors. Idk what else would really be an option. Fultz? Suggs? Why would the Raptors want that? Edited July 11, 2023 by Afro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB21 Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 14 hours ago, JeffS17 said: I understand the appeal of KAT but we were like #7 offense last year with JC broken shot, no spacing from Capela, and midrange Murray— not to mention outdated offensive principles from Nate. More offense at the expense of defense does not feel like the direction to go… especially at center. Imo its way easier to coach guys into an offensive scheme that gets them them better looks, better efficiency, than it is to teach defensive instincts and awareness. So team Siakam for me I think KAT is the better fit offensively, but he's also absolutely terrible defensively. KAT also doesn't have the best reputation as a worker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
