Just my thoughts, in order of what’s being presented:
Signing Klay: I don’t like this at all because I personally don’t like Klay lol. He’s a whiney crybaby with a big ego. That said, if he isn’t completely washed, he’d be huge for us. His 3 point percentage (38%) on 9apg would be absolutely massive. We wouldn’t ask him to be our number 2 guy like he is in GS, he’d be our third option at best, possibly 4th.
Signing Dlo: *Hard* pass. At pg we need a floor general and defender, someone who can settle us down and help run the half court in crunch time and create easier looks for Paolo and Franz. Dlo is none of these things.
Sign Isaiah Hartenstein: this is goofy. He’s going to get huge offers this summer, we’re not throwing money at him when we already have two C’s under contract. We’re more likely to keep Goga than go out for a third center.
Get CP3: idk how we could make that happen but he would be an amazing fit imo. Exactly the kind of floor raiser we need for this young squad.
Get Buddy Hield: I like this but he’ll probably get better offers to start elsewhere. He’d be an upgrade over Gary but I imagine we are looking to have an actual poing guard next season.
Move up to draft Reed Shepphard: I don’t watch college ball so no take here. But if we can package the Denver pick and/or next years pick to move up, why not. We don’t exactly have a lot of playing time available for rookies.
Take a flier on Jordan Poole: yeah fucking right.
Draft big man of the future Zach Edey: again, no opinion on college players.
Sign former NBA MVP Russell Westbrook: he finally looks washed. Would have been on board last season tbh (unpopular take, I know). Maybe on a vet min. Not going to solve our shooting woes but if anything he’s a dog and we got a team full of them. He would def fit in. He could, if anything, help guys elevate their play.
Trade for Hawks center Clint Capela: stupid.

This whole take is just horrible. Has this person even watched the Magic?

These are awful.
Overpay a declining Klay, Sign Russell Westbrook who *news flash* CAN’T SHOOT. How do these alleviate our spacing issues?
Sign Jordan Poole? No.

Imo i would still go for:
Buddy Hield
Dennis Schröder
Tyus Jones
Malik Monk
IHart
Daniel Theis
General CP3
Dlo if team friendly deal

I’m against any 34 year old guards trying to come in and plunder our cap space. Klay Thompson would be one of the worst moves we could make. I like PG13 but I just don’t think it’s worth it with where our young core is, if they were older like 25/26 sure.
A trade for Simons seems good but let’s see what shakes loose after the dust settles.

If Klay Thompson comes here it will be an out and out disaster in every way.
He’s old, injury prone, borderline washed, has already made over $100M, and has multiple rings. If he comes to Orlando it will be for money that nobody else is dumb enough to pay him.

This article is absolute trash! Who the Fuck did Jason Burgos suck off??? No way he should be a sports writer

Zach Edey an upgrade over Wendell Carter makes me wonder if this person has ever seen an NBA basketball game. Not even pretending like WCJ is an elite, top tier option or anything but this is so far beyond brain dead. Do you think this guy gets paid money to write for this site?
Sign me up for Reed Sheppard and/or Hartenstein though. I still wonder how much of the Hartenstein rumors were true from two years ago. Insane how much of an upgrade he would have been over Bamba.

Only move I like here is Hartenstein.
