Trade Orlando Magic accidently release trade list; Harkless, Aminu

Supposedly, this was some sort of "unofficial brainstorming list", but it should be noted that both Harkless and Aminu's names were at the bottom of the list.



Far left column on the black board, down at the bottom next to his shirt sleeve.

I very much doubt anything comes of it, and the picture was quickly deleted from the Magic's twitter feed. But not before someone saved it themselves, as you can see.

But it is interesting nonetheless. Not sure what we could get for either one of them, but it would have to be a Big.

 

Gordon and a first for Harkless

 

Saric (For Aaron Gordon) was an interesting one.

 

Especially since Orlando drafted Saric

Harkless being on there is hilarious

That'd be like Denver having Nurkic on their board.

 

I'd be down to trade Aminu for Ross maybe

 

Orlando has the 25th pick in this draft.

If we're trying to dump cap, we could probably get the 25th pick and a 2nd for Aminu. This would allow us to offer Sacremento the 20th and 25th picks in the draft to take on Turner and Leonard. I think they'd consider that.

I'm all for this train of thought:
1.) Trade assets for picks
- Dumping some Salary
2.) Attaching those picks to bad contracts
- Dumping lots of salary
3.) Drafting a rotation player to replenish depth for cheap
- Such as Ntilikina replacing Turner
4.) Using the resulting cap space to sign better assets than we originally had

Thus improving our team for now and the future, as we keep 2 draft picks and all our future picks, shed bad contracts for essentially free (picks we acquired by trading actual assets), and add a couple talented rookies to our already young core.

 

Doubt they'd want to do that. They'll probably draft a PG and go forward with that PG, Ross, and Fournier as their wings going forward.

I think they're looking for a "hybrid" 4 because Ross and Fournier are both 6'8. Ross, Fournier, Aminu, and Gordon would all be switchable 2-4.

 

That's why we sweeten the pot with Mr. Connaughton!

 

They have ibaka on the far right. Looks like the column is titled FA

 

Maybe that would work if we also gave the Baltimore Orioles cash to trade him to the Tampa Bay Rays (closest MLB neighbor), who would trade a player or two to the Texas Rangers, in exchange for them trading Russell Wilson to the Seattle Mariners, with the Mariners also sending cash to the Magic.

Blazers send Aminu >>> Magic, who send Ross >>> Blazers

Blazers send Pat >>> Magic who send cash >>> Orioles who send Pat >>> Rays who send minor leaguer(s) >>> Rangers who send Russell Wilson >>> Mariners who send cash >>> Magic

 

They also have Babbitt there as well. What a dysfunctional franchise.

 

Babbitt is with the Heat, not the Magic

 

Of course, I was responding about a post about the upcoming free agent list on the left.

 

This list doesn't make sense. Why would ibaka be a FA target?

 

Horrible handwriting.

 

Back in the 80s, they interviewed the blazers assistant GM (I think) on TV, and they ran it on the news. Luckily, I had my old school vcr set to record.

 

Yep, I'd be fine with accidentally releasing Meyers

 

I sound like a broken record: Get Mario Hezonja!
