The concept of Fournier always seems better than the reality.
Maybe in the right situation ... maybe in BOS (?)

Vuc is an EZ-Pass defender who wastes possessions on O, yet has lots of o-skills.

I don't like anyone on ORL, except maybe Khem Burch as a burly backup C.
Next year they start paying Fultz 3/$50M &  Isaac 4/$70M.
Yikes x 2.

Maybe we can add Otto Porter on the cheap when he's a FA.
His stock is rather low.
And I'd keep an eye on Markkanen.

Rivers gone in this deal. Welcome Terrance Ferguson.

[bodiddley]

Lotta minor activity:

12:47 p.m. ET: The Toronto Raptors have made their first major move of the day, sending Norman Powell to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Gary Trent Jr. and Rodney Hood.

12:46 p.m. ET: The Philadelphia 76ers are acquiring Oklahoma City Thunder guard George Hill and New York Knicks forward Ignas Brazdeikis in a three-team trade. The Thunder get Austin Rivers, Tony Bradley, and 2025 and 2026 future second-round picks (from the 76ers) and the Knicks get Terrance Ferguson.

12:40 p.m. ET: The Sacramento Kings are finalizing a deal to send Nemanja Bjelica to the Miami Heat, sources tell ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Bjelica had been averaging a career-low 16.9 minutes per game for the Kings this season. Miami is sending Maurice Harkless and Chris Silva to Sacramento.

12:27 p.m. ET: The Chicago Bulls are sending Daniel Gafford and Chandler Hutchison to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Troy Brown Jr. and Moritz Wagner, sources tell ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

I like Troy and Mo Wag.  Could pickups for Bulls.  Though they could use a Noel type backup C for Vuc, rather than MoWag.

I like Trent Jr.
Powell will be looking to get paid (off a good contract year on a losing team)

Knix get a look at T-Ferg.
Athletic 6'6".  Just 22.
Had a fairly good sophomore year, then I think injuries.
Not sure he plays with RJB, Bullox, Burks and franc all in the mix.
But we see what he's got.
Something in exchange for Au Revoir.

[bodiddley]

Gordon to DEN for Gary Harris and a 1st rounder is a big move.
ORl also gets RJ Hampton.

Magic moved Vuc, Gordon and Fournier, their three best players in a span of just a few hours.

Rivers gone in this deal. Welcome Terrance Ferguson.

The Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to acquire George Hill from the Oklahoma City Thunder for Tony Bradley and two future second round picks (2025 and 2026).

Austin Rivers will go to the Thunder from the New York Knicks as part of a three-team trade. The Knicks will acquire Terrance Ferguson from the 76ers. The 76ers will also acquire Iggy Brazdeikis from the Knicks as part of the deal.

Hmmm....interesting small scale deal. 

Another Brock Aller strategic shuffle.  In lieu of what if any subsequent moves we wonder. 

Iggy we hardly knew ye. 

A nice soft landing spot for Rivers, as OKC gets marginally younger, and sheds Hill's 10 million next season.  Worth noting that they already picked up Meyers Leonard, he of the Semetic references, where they can shave yet another 10 million off of their already league lowest (one step ahead of the Knicks) cap profile, by passing on their team option for him next season. 

So....we open up a roster spot, and Ferguson inherits Brazdeikis' spot on the bench next to Theo Pinson.   

Terrence Ferguson making 3.9 million this season, and we could retain OR NOT, by picking up his qualifying offer of 5.6 for next season.  Was this simply a gentlemanly way of accomodating Austin? 

Or does this presage other tactical moves?  Adding Iggy to the deal divests us a of a 1.7 team option on Iggy for next season. 

Would seem to be a nice move for Philly.

Gordon to DEN for Gary Harris and a 1st rounder is a big move.
ORl also gets RJ Hampton.

Magic moved Vuc, Gordon and Fournier, their three best players in a span of just a few hours.

They weren't winning with their three best, so ces la vis, time to retool and gather draft picks. 

And as per Facil's sugar plum fantasies, MO BAMBA just moved significantly up the Magic food chain.  Even with the arrival of Wendell Carter, who might be better suited to the 4-spot.

Okay, that makes a little more sense, as per Brazdeikis' inclusion.

Kyle Neubeck: The full Sixers-Thunder-Knicks deal, per league source: Philly gets: George Hill, Iggy Brazdeikis OKC gets: Tony Bradley, Philly’s 2nd round picks in 2025 and 2026, and Austin Rivers Knicks get: Terrance Ferguson, Vincent Poirier, 2021 2nd round pick from Philly – via Twitter KyleNeubeck

Poirier is a 27 year old 7'0" center from France, who has apparently had some COVID issues of late.  One season with Boston and part of this year with Philly. 

On July 15, 2019, Poirier parted ways with Baskonia to sign a contract with the Boston Celtics.

On November 19, 2020, Poirier was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a conditional future second-round pick. On December 8, Poirier, along with Danny Green and Terrance Ferguson, were traded to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Well, here's the center you've been coveting, Facil.

Magic added Wendell Cartero, Gary Harris, Otto Porter, RJ Hampton and 2 Bulls 1st rounders, which should be pretty good picks, plus a 2025 DEN 1st which will likely be in the 20's.

Fultz  - Gary Harris - Jon Isaac - Otto Porter - Carter
Cole Ant - RJ Hampton - TRoss - Mo Bomba  - KhemBirch

Looks pretty scattered.
Like the usual stuff the Bulls or Magic trot out ...

Better hope they hit on their own and the Bulls 1st rounders.

Well, here's the center you've been coveting, Facil.

Yup. He completely makes the deal for me. Upgrade at wing from Iggy to Fergie while relieving guard glut and adding a skilled and nasty big man, all while acquiring another draft pick.

Leon Rose is a beast.

We might not be done playing third party and picking up loose change.

[bodiddley]

One write-up noted that of the 24 players who have guarded 200 or more shots at the rim (within 5'), Vuc was 20th giving up 63.4% FG. 

So I followed the link:
Nerlins at 52.5% is 8th of 24, a hair ahead of Gobert and a smidge behind Embiid.
Dead last is Kanter offering up 69% FG.

[kidcarter8]

OK, lets go!!!!!

Ntlikina, Knox and Mavs #1

Get me Lonzo!  Make this a REALLLLLL fun year
