Simons would be good, he’s from the area and Suggs is a generational defender. They would be great together.
Wym they can trade anybody but Suggs/banchero/franz… all those “assets” don’t mean shit you got your star. Build team out. They need to go get Simon’s.
Great season for the Magic, they also need keep the special team chemistry together. The front office has done well, don't expect any roster teardown trades. Just like the players, I can't wait for next season.
Get Simon to the magic asap. Bring Simon home
I’d rather develop Anthony Black and Jett and go get Simons or Monk. No PG or Klay. Keep it young.
Trae doesn’t fit wit our team Anthony Black has played well when given a chance most these big names don’t make sense Monk Simons or dejontae Murray only way Klay makes sense if he’s cheap
This team is too young and underdeveloped to start adding pieces. I don’t know how to teach your players to shoot more consistently, but that’s what is desperately needed!
We had that series in our pocket TWICE! Losing by one in game 5 and in game 7 when we blew the 18 point lead.
This is already a 50 win team imo. But when Suggs, Isaac, Harris, Ingles, Franz and Mo only score 27 points COMBINED, you don’t need anyone telling you what to work on!!
Im all in on Tyus Jones to Orlando. I Wonder if he's going to have many suitors?
I'd also love to go after Nic Claxton.
A playmaking, 3pt shooting guard and an athletic, rim protecting big and this Magic team would be trouble in the East.
Franz just tired he will be ok
Tinker tinker

The Magic don’t need to trade for no one. Keep the core together. Go and sign some mid price free agents that fit.
Jon Isaac is very pedestrian. Not durable. Suggs needs to be kept. Need two shooters and if you can flip Franz for a 2nd stud with a knockdown shot…you do it.
Sign LeBron James 2 yr 120 deal
Love the Simons idea! Bring him home(-ish)!
Anfernee Simons is from Orlando. I would love his fit with this team.
Please we don’t want no aging stars that’s don’t really want to be here and only want a bag… WE TRYING TO MAKE REAL MOVES!
What about trying to trade for a player like Collin Sexton?
Look at us getting coverage on national sites, season was a success.
Tyus Jones and Gary Trent Jr and maybe Claxton if they have enough. If they can’t swing all forget about Claxton.
I was literally thinking about Anfernee Simons for the Orlando Magic. The Magic have all the assets in the world to go and get him and I think the Trailblazers' future is with Sharpe and Scoot. I'm also not mad at Tre because he could set the table improve the offense for them at an extremely high level.
Nic Claxton and Monk. Wendell and Issac off the bench for big men. Insane Defense with this
Naw, the Magic need Derrick White. The Celtics are going to be in cap hell with Brown, Tatum, Holiday, and Porzingis earning over $143 in salary. The Magic can easily trade for White using multiple 1st round picks and find a way to acquire Corey Kispert.
I think Anfernee Simons makes sense except is he gonna play better or worse being "home"? And since Portland wants to cut cap are they going to want much?
Give me simons, monk or tyus
They can go so many directions but this front office is super patient. I don't think it'll be anything crazy. They want to see what Ant Black and Jett are all about too next year
Magics best option to me is to trade for Dejounte Murray. ATL is gonna have to get rid of Murray or Trae young and it's gonna be tough to get rid of Young cuz of salary n his locker room toxicity . Murray is perfect for Orlando.
Anfernee Simons please! Come on home!
