Giving up on banch seems like a kneejerk reaction. He has been bad though

He's playing pretty much to his normal averages and advanced metrics seem to indicate the Magic are a better team without him on the court.

Maybe he's a guy that needs a pure PG to feed him the ball in his spots and they try to go that route

They need a lead ball handler and split up Paolo/Franz. Like everyone else, I'd ship out Paolo for whatever I could get and keep Franz since they play better with him.

Their cap situation is hideous because they were giving everybody crazy extensions. I think Harden would be a great stop gap for them but I don't know how they would acquire him. Suggs for Harden in a sign-and-trade does make sense for both teams to an extent...but Suggs makes so much money and Cleveland is also capped out.

I'm not sure what they would have left to offer OKC for Ajay Mitchell. Take a hail mary on Scoot? Could probably make a run at Jrue as well.

Not a horrible idea. IMO Scoot still has a ton of talent, but he's just like Franz and Suggs, can't shoot and can't stay healthy.

Nothing will change with Paolo. You can add a PG.

Paolo doesn't rebound, defend, pass, set screens. All he does is play inefficient 1 on 1 basketball

A first is crazy
Ja is that much better than Paolo.

Fukkkkkkk no. I'd rather keep ja on the roster let his deal run out and never play than to have Paolo whose max contract extension ain't even kicked in yet
Grizzlies need to rebuild and got to hit the salary floor regardless. Banchero might figure it out, the talent is there. Look at Cade as an example of a kid where the talent was there and he figured it out. Personally I think he a second option, who needs to realize that, but considering the shyt show the grizzlies are about to be I think they should take him.

At this point you’d need to attach a first to get off him. Look at what Trae went for. That’s his reality even though he’s good.

1, Decide whose team it is. If Banchero is the guy, let it be known. If its Mo Wagner let it be known. If Des Bane is the guy let it be known.

2. get some shooters
