Orl & Pho

Orl get 4th pick and Knight
Draft Tatum
Pho get 6th pick and Ross
Draft Issac

Orl get Sf and Pg scoring help which they need knight is versatile enough that he could play a little sg next to Payton for short bursts of time. Tatum is the scorer they could really do with, they can use Hezonja as backup sg and see what he's actually made of.

Pho add Ross who can play either wing position so good backup for Booker and good guy between Booker and Chriss which gives them time to develop Issac who could be a great fit as a perimeter defender and another shooter giving them plenty of scoring options and once Issac and Chriss have developed a good perimeter defensive pairing with options to play many different lineups. They are guard heavy and losing knight hasn't really been productive isn't much of a loss when they have Ulis who projects as a good backup.

A modification to your proposed deal here. ORL sends the 6th and Ross to PHX. PHX sends Bledsoe and the 2018 Miami 1st round pick to the Magic. Suns draft a PG with number 4 . or number 6.

Phxfan, with Bledsoe's injury history, I don't think he has that kind of value.

Plus Orlando is in the middle of a rebuild. At worse with this trade they end up moving up a few spots in the draft and get a low risk high reward player. In your scenario if Bledsoe doesn't work out, they lose young assets for nothing for a 2nd time.

No thank Phxfan My proposal was more equal. The Miami pick is a risk as it may not be a top 10 lottery pick in a loaded draft like this one. Bledsoe injury concerns also are a no go. Least my trade offers good assets for both sides and fills needs Orl get scoring at two of their weakest positions Pho get a talented high potential player in Issac who arguably has the highest ceiling in this draft and Ross can play sg/ sf he's a 4th or 5th option and when Issac has developed a good 6th man for a team with a weak bench.

Suns already have a SG in Booker and a SF in Warren. Bledsoe might be "damaged goods" to some (his knees are no worse than CP3's) . but the way the NBA sees things, there will be teams that see his 20 ppg/ 5 rb/ 6 asst plus good defense numbers. and will make a deal. What Bledsoe is not. is a pass first PG which is what PHX needs. He would be a difference maker (likely as a 6th man) on many teams. Don't be shocked in the Suns find a taker and acquire a 2nd pick in the top 10.

Phxfan not saying Bledsoe ain't a good player but he jus doesn't fit what Orl need to do now they need a star and theirs plenty of potential stars in this top 10 so why would the Magic give up that so That Suns could potentially get two potential stars for a later future pick and Bledsoe whose not going to make them any better.
You need to read what I wrote Ross will become a 6th man once Issac hasn't developed and would probably play sg next to Warren off then bench they don't need that many guards and could use the mins to develop ulis over Knight. My deal benefits both teams your deal only benefits Phoenix.

Knight will be gone one way or the other this summer. Ulis will never be anymore than a backup PG. and in ORL, you have a new front office. so, how in the world do you have any idea as to what direction they may want to go? So, while you think your deal is equitable and all that. PHX isn't moving down 2 spots in this draft even if you include mostly anyone currently on the roster not named Gordon.

I like this move pretty fair deal for both teams, Phxfan is dillusional proposes a rubbish return for the Magic
Gordon and the 6th for knight and the 4th your crazy no way Magic give up that for Knight jus to move up more people backing the proposal then your comments.
Phxfan you made me laugh how do we know what direction a teams heading no one does this is a site to propose ideas and speculate if you think these posts are facts then sorry to break the news but these are fab theories.

Neither was equal. Both made ridiculous homer trades in which you drastically overvalue your own assets and claim it's fair. Neither are.

Um. Nothing bu Net? I never said Gordon and the 6th for Knight and the 4th. What I did say was that PHX really doesn't like any current Magic player except Gordon. and he's staying in ORL. Others? Yeah, it's a homer deal. ORL might not be the team to take something like this. but some other team just might. after all, PHX did get Chriss with SAC's 8th pick for the rights to Bogdan Bogdanovic and a later pick .
