Hi hi! I’m an Orlando Magic fan, obviously very happy with our start to the season. Our hot start has mostly come from elite defence tho.
To improve our offence, I’ve seen Simons mentioned as a name that would be a great fit, and I feel the same way, I would love to have him. What I’m wondering is, do you guys consider him to be a substantial part of your future? Would you be willing/happy to trade him? If so, how much do you think it would take, would we have to throw quite a substantial offer at your FO?
If/when, Ant going home would be the obvious best fit. He would solve a long term 3pt shooting need for ORL, and if one of your “home grown” guys goes out, going home always takes some of the sting out of it. :)
Scoot’s not “there” yet, and POR needs Ant’s offense even more than ORL at this point. So my assumption is that Ant is not “available” now / this year, but that all depends on how quickly so many of the younguns “get there”.
If/when, then - WCJ would fill a long term need for POR, as the centerpiece player/position/talent. If Timelord can get healthy, great. If/when POR has “too many” 4/5 players that it doesn’t have minutes for everyone, then you figure that out. POR would also need/want one (two?) of the guards/ball handlers, because Scoot and Brogdon (Mookie Dew!) would be the only other ball handlers on the roster.
