NBA Contender Draft | Slam N Jam

They do have a pretty juicy pick next year, which is the worst of the Wizards and Suns pick. So that's pretty good. That's a nice juicy pick. You know, they have Wendell Carter Jr. I don't know.

So when I start looking at like those types of assets, I'm thinking someone like more on the level of like an Anthony Simons who you might be able to get at a little bit of a discount compared to if you're trading for Trey Young or someone like that.

I mean, honestly, if they'd just been healthy this season, I think they would have taken the next step. Like, I think they would have been a top six playoff team and we would have been talking about their season differently. But then they lose Suggs. They have to play Boston the first round. You kind of know it's going to be a first round exit.

But if that had been like a 6-3 matchup against the Knicks and they have Suggs, like, I think that's a lot more interesting. So it's possible that they kind of run it back and just bring in like even the lower tier guard than Anthony Simons.

He's not a good defender. Very bad. But if there was a team that could absorb that You would think it'd be Orlando, but then I think about the Boston matchup and why that matchup is so problematic for the Celtics is that the magic can switch everything. And the Celtics love to attack weak links. And so if you do have Simons on that team, how does it flip that Celtics matchup going forward?

I love Kobe White. Contract alone. I mean, they're both expiring next year. Yeah. Kobe White makes 12.9 million. Yeah. And Anthony Simons makes like 25, somewhere around there. I don't know what those guys' extension numbers could potentially be. I mean, you're going to have to pay them a lot of money going forward, but.

Yeah, I could see it because there's the Magic's roster is starting to get a little pricey. I mean, Franz is up for his extension is going to kick in. So, yeah, I don't know. They're one of the more interesting teams to me because it does feel like what we saw at the beginning of the season, like that was a really good team.
