An offseason plan with trade and draft explanation, 15 man lineup after all transaction, and thoughts on this new-look team ~ feel free to leave comments on the plan!
Trade:
Raptors : Jalen Suggs, Gary Harris, 6th pick
Magic: OG Anunoby, Gary Trent JR
Raptors need to trade their players imo, it’s rlly not looking gd for their future
Getting a 6th pick out of 2 expiring is honestly a steal, considering they also get Suggs, new PG with FVV most likely leavin
Draft:
11th pick: Gradey Dick
36th pick: Jalen Slawson
FA:
Resign Mo Wagner 2 years 18M
Resign MCW 1 year minimum
Damian Jones 1 year 3M
Blake Griffin 1 year minimum
Lineup:
Starting:
Fultz OG Franz Paolo WCJ
Bench:
Cole Dick GTJ Bol Mo
Reserve:
MCW Houston Slawson Blake Jones
Conclusion:
Yes, I got Magic starting to think of winning
Difference with other bottom teams? They alrdy got proven talents locked up, eg. Franz, WCJ, even Fultz played so well end of season.
Paolo projects to be a star in the future and an incredible scorer
So pairing OG beside him to provide even more defense and being one of the best 3&D, this will be a great piece for the future
For clearing playing time for Fultz and Cole, Suggs will be moved, just don't think anyone qualifies for SG out of these 3 and in long term they can't co-exist
Dick will be a great addition, providing elite shooting to this team with Fultz being the starting PG
Im a believer in Fultz, just think he can continue to play like his last 10ish games and continue the form, so im against Magic to try get a new starting PG, stick with Fultz for at least next season
Do expect a play-in finish, with a young team, solid defensive-wise, and rising youngsters, exciting future in Orlando!
