A point forward with size and ball handling skill who can also shoot and guard multiple positions should be the leagues hottest commodity. Orlando is playing with fire by giving Black the leash right now. Unless they find a long term solution for Banchero/Suggs who are nowhere near the value of lucrative deals they signed, they would have to let Black go to avoid the second apron. Assuming Bane/Franz are off the table for them.
It's either Suggs or Black for them. No one wants Banchero’s contract given how he perform this year. And Bane/Franz should be off the table.
lmao.
Have you watched him play? Or just look up his stats. The guy is having an all-time falloff. Magic might be a perennial mid team because of him and his ridiculous max. Like maxing Julius Randle, who's even having a better year than Banchero btw.
ok bud.
ok bud
Banchero on around 30mil has trade value. Paolo on a max has negative trade value. No teams could afford to pay max for a non-max player in this day and age.
It's the max we are talking about. Whoever trade for him needs to firmly believe in him and allocate even more assets to build around him. Not sure such team exists given how he's playing this year. They gotta be really really desperate but even then, I would rather take my chances in the draft if I were them.
