This is a scenario where the Clippers really like Acuff and think he can be better offensively then Garland while being younger and no extensive injury history. They would have to take on Isaac's contract to make the financials work, if this doesn't feel like a full enough compensation for trading Garlandaway and taking on Issac's contract and maybe arguably Suggs' contract depending how you feel about it. You can add Goga Bitadze, you would just have to add a $1,550,559 coming from the Clippers to make it financially legal, which would be easy.

The Magic realistically they were a healthy Franz from winning the series but if they had a primary ball-handler they win easily in their mind. With a new head coach a primary ball-handler and a healthy season maybe they think is this the year they make a run. They already have seemingly made their all-in push with Bane, I dont think the Clippers would be super against a Garland trade if they truly believe Acuff is a better version and the future of their team.

You could also include a 3rd team to take on Issac's contract, but that would complicated things.
