A Trade idea (just for fun)

He has become a lifesaver during some games. He adds so much depth to our team. Plus, he has really picked up the slack, where VC has left off. I mean in that game against Detroit, he was our leading scorer, off the bench! I do like the idea of getting Hinrich though.

Looking at your deal, I would rather have Salmons than Hinrich if were losing JJ but I could see why either way. I wouldn’t add Bass either. Nor would I even really do JJ for Salmons or Hinrich in the first place tbh unless they add their 1st round pick or Gibson maybe.
I have a tough time wanting to do it with JJ alone. Here’s where I can see this happening and not:
Salmons is a vet, I can see him meshing well with Rashard and the Magic, and he has excellent 3P%. His FGA’s for CHI are right below Rashard’s for ORL, in ORL I would obviously want Salmon to lower that abit and I think he would for us. He has good length and athleticism for defense, I think he’s a solid defender. Its guaranteed he can/is a better defender than JJ.Tho I need someone who’s more knowledgeable about the Bulls or seen them sometimes to tell me how he is on D, that would be a critical point for me. Also, JJ is at a pretty good sell high streak right now, if VC comes back strong, JJ can go back into obscurity and teams have to be sure they would still want him despite his up/down minutes/production. Getting Salmons with a nice 1st rounder could be a steal if he fits in.
What’s bad is wondering why his FG% is 41 and JJ’s is 44 (who shoots nearly the same number of 3’s in much less FGA’s!). Why we are going for a 30 yr old when JJ is 25 still. Salmons doesn’t have a great APG, very justifiable to wonder how’d he fit, esp. when taking JJ’s spot, a guy who has been like a freakin PG no less! Also, JJ has more potential than Salmons considering their respective ages and this may already mean that, along with JJ’s play this season, he can command better trade value perhaps.
I like Hinrich, but I wouldn’t trade anyone for him w/o something more incoming, if at all. His high salary makes it hard and he’s 29. It’ll always be interesting to see where these rumors and trade ideas go for this yr’s deadline, and I would jump on board for any trade Otis does, but Im not quite seeing this one. Otis likes some players at almost comically unreasonable levels at times, but one became a 1st time All Star last season when fully healthy (Jameer), I believe we have developed two amazing centers, one of which is the most dominant player in the league, and this one survived a couple of underwhelming years to start their career, JJ Redick (Why Im not GM, I would’ve dumped him back then :p), so I really don’t see JJ leaving. In fact, the only trade JJ scenarios I see are if Otis is almost 100% sure someone else is going to overpay JJ big time this summer to the point the Magic cannot match, which may not be enough if JJ keeps getting better also..
Personally, I could still trade JJ tho, but only for some few players out there that I would like for sure for the Magic.

then we might have to add vc along that trade. jj and vc for tmac

At best, it’s a lateral move. Bass and Redick for Salmons wouldn’t make sense, either.

this is a terrible trade idea and if it were done i would be one irate magic fan. thank God that in Otis, I trust. trading away your second best three point shooter when you run the 1-in,4-out makes zero sense. resign JJ if anything, dont let him go!

Right now, for better or worse, I think this is the team we need to take to the next level.
