Comment your thoughts! (The trade is not successful because of the Desmond Bane trade. Otherwise it is successful.)
Scroll below to see the rest of the Magic's offseason.
Magic: After giving the Grizzlies an absolute haul for Desmond Bane, it seems like they're going all in on this season. Trading for Kristaps Porzingis gives them a lethal starting lineup. They don't have to give up much for Porzingis, because they trade Wendell Carter to the Lakers, who help the Celtics with draft compensation.
Celtics: The Celtics are going to have to cut costs this offseason. Shedding $15 million dollars, and getting a first and a second is a good return. This would put them one Jrue Holiday to the Kings trade away from being under the 2nd Apron.
Lakers: The Lakers NEED a center, and Wendell Carter fixes that issue. Their swap rights are given up for next draft, but is that really a problem when Luka and LeBron are on your team?
Nets: The Nets are in this trade to eat some salary. They take in Gabe Vincent's expiring contracts, but get Jett Howard, a young piece, and a second round pick.
