Blockbuster Three-Team Trade


SUCCESS

Fanspo logo

Why the Hawks do this trade: Bitadze is one of the best third centers in the NBA and would give the Hawks much needed depth there. He can be the backup whenever Kristaps Porzingis has to miss games and he is an excellent rebounder and defender who plays with physicality. This would be a great final addition to the roster for the Hawks and makes them one of the most complete rosters in the Eastern Conference.

Why the Hawks don't do this trade: Krejci has been a great success story for the Hawks and has been developing very well. Do the Hawks want to move him for someone who might not play every night? Bitadze is also not a threat from three-point range.

Why the Magic do this deal: They get one of the best point guards in the league and a first round pick. They do sacrifice some of their defensive identity with moving Suggs, but he is not a traditional point guard. Fox is not bad on the defensive end either and the Magic's offense certainly looks much better. They remain one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.

Why the Magic don't do this trade: I don't think they would make this deal and the main reason why is that Suggs is arguably the best perimeter defender in the NBA and Orlando might operate better without a traditional point guard. Fox would take the ball out of Banchero and Wagner's hands and that might make Orlando worse. Fox is a good player, but Orlando might not be the best fit.

Why the Spurs do this deal: They upgrade their perimeter defense and three point shooting with one of the best two-way players in the NBA. Suggs would be a great fit in the Spurs lineup and this would free up minutes for Dylan Harper. Suggs fits on the timeline for San Antonio as well.

Why the Spurs don't do this deal: Suggs is expensive and was injured for a lot of last season. If the Spurs do indeed move Fox, they need someone who can reliably be on the floor. Moving a first round pick plus Fox might be too much for a player like Suggs.
