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?

    I think Orlando should have went after Simons for a while now. I think the draft was a good chance to make something happen once it was clear we were taking Scoot but there was still the idea of making it work with Dame.

    I don’t think we are going to move Simons this year because I think we are going to see how good he can be as the official #1 option and he was really taking on a leadership role for us. Leading annual rookie traditions, coaching up Ayton in training camp, really giving maximum effort on both ends to start the year.

    Maybe if Scoot breaks out soon and proves that he has star potential and we are blown away with an offer to send Simons home. I think it would cost a pretty penny and would probably take a Dejounte Murray type of trade based on how I think Simons performs this year.
