Paolo Alves on Magic possibly being open to trading up its two lottery picks to land in 3-5 range



I think I’d like one of Hendricks/Walker at 6 and one of Wallace/Black at 11 rather than picking at 4 and 20.

    4 + 20 for 6 + 11 would be a steal for the Rockets given the quality of the draft. I’m guessing the Rockets are going to have to add a bit to this. Maybe Orlando trades 6 + another asset for 4? Then moves 11 for a future pick in a different trade.

    If Miller is there at 4 absolutely

    Take Ausar at 6 and Cason Wallace or Black at 11 if they drop

    I’m good with just taking boa at 4. We don’t need more youth.

    I don’t believe anything the Magic say after last year

    Another thought… what if they trade up to 3 to select Amen and Scoot falls to 4. Unlikely but would be wild.

  6. so you just gotta retweet an actual journalist and its your story now? Paulo Alves lmao, i think Michael Scotto is the one who broke this

    Every team is always looking way to trade up. Nothing new.

    How is this Paolo Alves?

    He responded by quoting the a legit story and that makes it his take?

    This makes a ton of sense for Charlotte and Portland.. I’ve been floating this hypothetical on various draft related posts for days now.. Charlotte and Portland would both benefit from the two lottery picks. They both need quality depth. Orlando gets Scoot.

    And as a Rockets fan.. I probably make that trade.. 4 +20, a future first, or KJ for 6+11
