Magic Sent Johnathan Isaac, Gary Harris, Caleb Houstan, 2025 Protected Frp(Via Denver) and 2027 Frp To The Bulls For Zach Lavine.
Trade Explanation
(Magic)
We All Know That Magic Been One Of The Best Defensive Team In The Leauge, Top 3 Actually So Far. They are On The Playoff Picture Because Of Their Defense. But The Thing Is That They Are A Below Average Offensive Team, They Are Bottom 10 In Offensive Rating and Shooting Wise, They Are One Of The Worst. I Know That They Are Having An Amazing Start But I Am Sure They Will Slow Down Soon Due To Their Lack Of Offensive Burst and Shooting Slumps. Magic Lack A True Scorer That Can Carry The Offensive Load. Yes, Banchero and Franz Is On The Team. But They Are Not Your Ideal First Option Offensively. Although, They Would Definitely Take That Offensive Leap Soon. But Anyways, We Know That Zach Lavine Been One Of The Best Pure Scorers In The Leauge For Some Time Now. A Very Dangerous Outside Shooter, Which Is Exactly What Magic Needs. Also Has A Very Nice Inside Scoring. Basically, He Could Score Greatly In All 3 Levels. Additionally, He Could Play Off Ball & Has Nice Passing Skills. He Made Multiple All Star Teams and Is An All NBA Caliber Of A Player. His Offensive Abilities Is Definitely What Magic Needs Right Now. This Can Make Magic More Competetive In The Current Timeline & In The Future.
(Bulls)
If Bulls Will Send Lavine Out, I Think This Would Be A Decent Return For His Value Right Now. If We Summarize The Package, Bulls Manage To Get Isaac, He Is A 6'11 Forward/Center Who Is Still Pretty Young(26 Years Old), Been Pretty Solid So Far This Season Offensively Or Defensively. Bulls Can Decide To Package Him Or Just Keep Him Since He Is Still Pretty Young. Then Harris, a 2 Guard That Been A Quality Role Player For The Magic. He Is An Effecient Scorer With Solid Defensive Capabilities. Again, Bulls Can Either Keep Him Or Just Ship Him For Picks. Then Houstan, An Okay Young Player Honestly. He Just Lacks Some Opportunities, Only 20 Years Old. Lastly, They Got Some Picks. Managed To Get 2 First, One Of The Picks Are Via Denver Not That Valuable But A First Is A First. Then An Unprotected Frp In 2027 Which Has Some Value On It.
