Too much. It's in the division

Unlikely, he’s on an expiring deal and the Magic aren’t competing for the playoffs.

Not saying the price wouldn’t be high but since he’s on the last year of his deal it wouldn’t prevent the Magic from trading him within the division.

Magic will just take the best offer for him.

Bamba is only 23 and playing his best season yet so far. They're not going to let him go cheaply to a division opponent that they know desperately needs a center.

It wouldn’t be cheap but I think this is one situation where being a divisional opponent wouldn’t matter that much.

I think they’ll take the best offer for Bamba and I don’t expect him to fetch the same type of return that Myles Turner would.

I’d suspect P.J. Washington, Nick Richards, and the protected first round pick from New Orleans (which will certainly become two seconds) would get the job done.

Magic could roll with a lineup of Cole Anthony, Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Issac, P.J. Washington, and Wendell Carter with Hampton, Ross, F. Wagner, M. Wagner, and Richards coming off the bench.

Hornets could roll with Ball, Rozier, Hayward, Bridges, and Bamba with Smith, Martin, Oubre, McDaniels, and Plumlee coming off the bench. Rest of the bench would be made up of Bouknight, Jones, and Carey.

We’re going to have to trade for a big.

Mo Bamba from Orlando is going to be a hot candidate, I’d be interested to see what they would want from us.

Just wait for him to be a free agent this offseason. I doubt he is part of the long term plans in Orlando and probably wants a fresh start anyways.

I honestly did not realize the season he was having so far. 

Yep, I live in Orlando and have seen him play a few times. He’s been solid this year.

Issue for him is that Wendell Carter has been better.

From what I’ve heard, it’s unlikely that he’ll be in the Magic’s future plans but he’ll definitely command a big market from playoff contenders.

Magic will want young players back with term along with some draft picks.

I think that would be too much for Bamba. He is young, but he's barely averaging in the double digits scoring while 9.4 rebounds per game. That is a step up from Plumlee and Richards as far as rebounds go.

For me it’s more about the rim protection… buttttt… if Richards can protect the rim like he did in the second half then maybe it’s not necessary.

Here’s your ball game right here.

Harrell and Gafford in the first half - 25 points

Harrell and Gafford in the second half - 10 points

We locked down their bigs in the second half and with the Wizards only shooting 19% from three that effectively finished them.Finish Him Mortal Kombat GIF

Shoutout to Nick Richards, Kelly Oubre, and Cody Martin who brought the defense in the second half.

If Bamba had more time on his contract, I would be up for the trade. I just don't think giving up that much for a one year rental or less is smart. Richards is improving and should get more playing time too. He's shown he can offer some rim protection.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
