Afflalo is off the board!

The West widens the already Grand Canyon like talent gap between itself and the East.

Could we have gotten Afflalo for Burks and a 2nd round pick? Would y'all have done that?

I would.

I honestly wonder if the Magic have convinced themselves they think they can make a run at Lebron and/or Melo. No state-income tax. An at-one-point FA destination of sorts.

Does this mean Orlando is more likely to draft Exum if available?

No... we aren't in win now mode. Afflalo would be out of here next season.

Or Smart. I don't see how you don't take a PG early if you're the Magic. Maybe I'm wrong, but the value and need line up.

Good question... I think this means they go guard. If Phili goes Vonleh... Exum or Embiid will be there. Interesting.

hadn't thought of this. Maybe something to it.

Yeah I don't think Fournier(and like some here I like his game) should basically equal Afflalo. Not sure how benefits the Magic. They could have gotten this deal anytime this summer. The Magic could have potentially gotten to one or perhaps three with Afflalo as trade bait.

Seems like Orlando could have gotten a lot more for Afflalo. Weren;'t the bobcats offering their lottery pick?

This is a very deep draft with some good prospects available at 56. If we had that pick we could package it with the 35 and move up to the 12-17 range.
