re: Here is an article on what a trade between the Pelicans and Magic might look like

Isaac is an expiring deal, and has played 200 games in 7 seasons. Aka, less than 30 games a year.

Suggs is going into his contract year. He is for sure very interesting after having a great season. Very very very good defender, and shot well this year. Just a bit worrisome what we would look like with him as lead guard.

Because the Denver pick has protections, I do not believe the Magic can trade 2025 and 2026 picks. And with getting Ingram, we are talking almost surely non lottery picks in the East.

For sure this is about the best the Magic could offer. But Ingram has been our best player over the past five seasons. Sometimes I wonder more about if our posters have been watching the games. Because of the impending Ingram contract, this is ok. But surely a step backwards.
