I don't understand. The Magic have to be getting more back than what's being reported.

Afflalo has 3 years 23 mil and a PO year left on his contract, Harrington has 3 years 22 mil, and Vucevic is not that good. Yeah they're getting 3 first round picks and Moe Harkless but unless they can keep rolling those picks over they're not going to be very good anytime soon.

With all the previously rumored deals, this doesn't make any sense from the Magic's perspective. LA, Philly and Denver are getting great deals here and Orlando is getting 2 bad contracts and a few picks.

The rumored deals obviously weren't real proposed deals, or Hennigan waited way to long to pull the trigger. My bet is the rookie GM make a rookie mistake. OH and Harrington isn't exactly a bad contract, it's only partially guaranteed after this year....

Didn't the Magic GM come from San Antonio? Aren't they all supposed to be geniuses with great basketball minds? Smh, this guy was the dummy of the group. He just got hosed. Had a better offer from the Nets, and decides to take the crap offered to him by the Lakers. Didn't even get Bynun out of the deal smh. Every team in this deal just made a come up except Orlando.

No offer that includes Lopez on a max deal is a better offer. That offer was poo to, this is just better poo since they got two good young prospects in Vucevic and Harkless, and a younger (27) guy who can actually ball in AA. Harrington isn't terrible because his contract is only partially guaranteed. Plus it seems like Hedo may have been absorbed into Denver's TPE so their worst contract is gone along with Duhon and Earl Clark heading to L.A. according to Spears....

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
