Poison Pill

Jalen Suggs is on a rookie contract and signed an extension that is to begin the following season. Therefore, he has what is known as a "poison pill" contract. He can no longer be traded for a player making equal money. Instead, his current salary is averaged along with the salaries he is to receive in his extension, and that average becomes his incoming salary for trade purposes. His outgoing value for the Magic will be $9.1M while his incoming value for the receiving team will be $26.6M.

Contract Over

After the trade deadline, the team cannot trade Jaden Ivey since he has a team option next year which is worth $10.1M.

Orlando goes all in and lands LaMelo Ball to create their new big 3.

Charlotte adds two promising young prospects and picks for LaMelo to build around youth for the future. Imagine if Charlotte wins the lottery and lands Flagg too… Black, Ivey, Miller, Flagg, Williams, Nurkic, Bridges, Williams, Salaun

Pistons add the perfect guard that complements Cade and Suggs gets the lead guard he needs to be a perfect off ball guard. Suggs will take the harder defensive matchup and become a 3&D specialist who can run the offense for the 2nd unit. I view this as an upgrade over Ivey because of his defensive chops and consistent play. A new look rotation of Cade, Suggs, Ausar, Tobias, Duren, Beasley, Holland, and Stewart is great defensively, will be great in transition, and has spacing. They could add one more high level shooter and this team is a threat.
