Trade:
Magic Send: Ryan Anderson, Baron Davis, Ivan Johnson
Jazz Send: Shawn Marion, Mo Williams, Gustavo Ayon
First reaction is Orlando got worse. Second reaction ... and Utah got worse.
Curious as to why you say that, I thought I got much better and deeper now and Utah gains a valuable player for it's rebuilding process. Westbrook, Budinger, Anderson and Splitter is a good core moving forward.
I liked the way all your pieces fit together. There was great synergy there. The sum was greater than the individual parts.
Now, not so much. More redundancy.
I'm not the most knowledgeable about fit, but I thought this trade made the Magic even better than they already were this season, while giving me a great player, and potential MVP candidate if he can keep up his great play over he last two seasons in regular starter's minutes, to go with Westbrook and Splitter, and potentially Budinger and Patterson.
