    Cole "lead" one comeback recently. Orlando's front office, as you said, isn't stupid and realize relying on shit shooting Cole Anthony to uplift their offense is a fool's errand.

    Hate it?

    Ayton to Lakers
    Ben Simmons to Blazers (expiring contract) plus 1st rounder
    Knecht, Vanderbilt, Hachimura to Brooklyn

    yes please. Keep the 1st out of it, I doubt either of those teams would include one. Also doubt LA would take Ayton.

    They'll be getting Franz Wagner back soon and he's pretty much a point forward. I mean, I WANT Orlando to trade for Anfernee, I just can't see it happening.

    Bored so dumping another trade idea

    Grant to Boston
    Porzingus to Houston (he’s always hurt but for Houston might make sense for playoff run)
    Reed, Cam and Jeff Green to Portland

    Being a point forward doesn't solve their shooting though. They're dead last in the league at 3pt%. And it's not even close. They're shooting 30.7%! The next lowest is 33.3. Dead last in PPG. Only Charlotte and Washington have a worse ORTG than them. Only two teams have a lower eFG%. Their offense is BRUTAL. It needs some help.

    So... they get "help" from a struggling player on another team with terrible offense?

    Getting a player like Ben Simmons would be right up the Blazers alley a player with all the potential, but just can’t put it all together.

    Yes, it is absolutely crazy that they still have another 1st round pick. Typical NBA letting the Lakers get away with everything and anything.
