Trade & FA 2024-25:

[RGP1981]

Orlando seems like a team with an obvious role and need. They also have enough assets to make it make sense.

The Magic is a good pick. Anfernee Simons is also from Florida and went to school in Orlando.

Say: Simons+Robert Williams III for Cole Anthony+WCJr+Gary Harris+3 2nds+1 FRP pick swap+1 FRP.

ORL new team:

Simons/Black/Joseph
KCP/Suggs/
Franz/Da Silva/Howard
Paolo/Isaac/Houstan
Timelord/Wagner/Goga

Don't know if the Magic will want RW3 though, another highly injury-prone player. Probably just stick with Cole Anthony, WCJ and picks/swaps.

Then re-sign Okeke at the minimum, and move Isaac to full-time Center. I think Isaac could remain healthy if he's not asked to defend the perimeter so much.

ORL new team:

G: Suggs............. Black, Joseph
G: Simons........... KCP, Harris
F: Franz.............. Howard, Houstan
F: Paolo.............. Da Silva, Okeke
C: Isaac.............. Moritz, Goga

I'd bump the Magic up to close favorites with the Celtics in the East, if they can pull off a trade like this for Anfernee Simons and have everyone stay healthy.
