I'd take SVG and Ryan Anderson if at all possible.
Orlando fire sale?
- Thread starter NAOS
- Start date
If I were Orlando, I'd keep Dwight, Anderson, and Redick. I'd go for D-Will, another big like Boris Diaw or Kris Humphries, and finally a SF like Wallace, Batum, Josh Smith, or Ariza. With this core, I would hire Nate McMillan. Probably tough to unload some of the contracts, considering they don't have a GM. Other than that, I think we do absolutely no trades with them.
I would take Anderson for sure. A true stretch 4 would be great alongside Jefferson, Kanter, or Favors.
I'd probably take Anderson + a future 1st (some kind of protection) for Millsap.
He isn't as good as Sap, but he would give our offense a nice dimension when Favors + Kanter become the future starters. I really don't think they are dealing him as long as they have Howard though.

Orlando is basically praying NJ wins the lottery. Howard's not staying so the new GM is going to have to figure out how to move him. Very rough job considering Howard's short list of teams.

I think Ryan Anderson will be available because I don't think Dwight is staying. Cleveland tried this exact tactic as a last resort to keep Lebron and it obviously didn't work. Dwight is going to end up somewhere else and then it's going to become firesale time in Orlando.
I would love to see Anderson in Utah and I bet KOC is keeping a close eye on that situation....

But what would it cost to get Anderson? Why would they be in a hurry to trade a guy that young/on his rookie contract? If it's even possible, and considering the logjam of bigs that the Jazz have, what would they want in a package be close to worth it?
Exactly. Nothing. We don't need him badly enough to be willing to trade what the Magic would be giving up.
Agreed. Even assuming Big Al traded, a frontcourt with Favors/Millsap/Kanter/Anderson wouldn't be best for the Jazz because Anderson will demand starting 30+ mins. Plus, I think he is kinda overrated, -I watched 50+ Orlando games this year-.

My guess is they'll pursue a Howard/Bynum swap. In that scenario, I could almost see a Howard/Anderson -- Pau/Bynum swap. But the big sticking point would be Turkoglu. Orlando wouldn't take back Metta so the Lakers would have to bite that bullet.

Anderson is an RFA after next season - he's not going anywhere right now
Down the road he may end up having to be sacrificed to keep Howard and bring in another impact player (e.g. Williams).
I can see someone overpaying for Anderson - maybe Dallas or Portland. With Utah's cap space after next year I would call him a consolation prize.

I think Anderson will be payed fairly. I mean, I think teams are aware that a lot of his numbers are a product of the system the Magic run along with being the perfect compliment to Dwight. Him having a terrible playoff performance shows that he relies heavily on the way he compliments Howard.
If he managed to put up the same #'s in the playoffs he did in the regular season, he might have gotten an extra couple million per year, but he didn't.
Ugggh, as I say all this I don't even really want him all the much. I do think alongside Favors or Kanter he could be a good compliment.
Why? 3's are not part of our .. 'system.'
I don't believe that ever happened. Nope.

Here is where I see the difference between a SVG and let's say Phil Jackson. Phil Jackson will openly call out his players if he feels that they need motivation. He is able to keep those players in check so to say. SVG has a history of rubbing people the wrong way. He has alienated how many guys now due to his personality? He doesn't command the respect that a Phil Jackson does for whatever reason. This is why he should never be compared to Jackson or Pop. That being said, I do believe he is better than Corbin. Just saying that his next job will again end like this one. His players will start to despise him and he will be let go.

I am going to be in the minority in this but I wouldn't mind seeing the Jazz get Glen Davis and Orlando's 2012 first round pick for Millsap. Davis has accepted a role off the bench his entire career and seems to be fine with that. The first thing that the Jazz need to do in order to get better is to start Favors. That more than likely means that Millsap will be coming off the bench. I don't think that Millsap will like that at all and suddenly he could turn into a huge cancer for this team.
Davis + Orlando 2012 first rounder for Millsap, think about it.
