I understand what you're saying. But I don't think it usually works that way. Teams seem to trade for what a player means for them, not for some future trade value he might offer.
And I don't think "find/add a starting PG" is very high on the ORL list of desires these days. Therefore my guess is that any ole PG-type would offer them about the same value, in their minds.
I don't mind trading JB, but if he's worth X to you, you want to trade him to a team that craves someone like him and will be willing to give you X or more. I want ORL to want him bad enough that you can land Gordon for Brunson-Powell-2nd rounder package, because I think some team will eventually pay a price like that. And I don't think the Magic are there -- I think if he was traded to ORL, to them he's more a minor value and you only get 50% or 70% of X.
