[@jaypaulauskas7108]

The Magic will Not give up on JI. His upside is enormous.

[@anyone4501]

Definitely he's the Anchor of Magic defense.

[@TB109.]

Pelicans should keep BI that would be bad if they trade this man

[@dannyreid9256]

Young, Murry, Mitchell. These are the only players that are possible that truly move the needle.

[@edwardd.484]

The Magic already have two 6'9 wings that need the ball in their hands all the time. Don't see a fit for Ingram.

[@jaredculbertson3800]

Bump dat, the trades proposed here with Orlando absolutely suck

[@BHRockaChaw]

As you pointed out, Jake, all three of those guys are like bench. We don't need to strengthen our bench. It is already plenty strong enough.

[@daddyappletv1967]

I Will follow Ingram to where he Will be. Hope to see this great Young Player succeed .

[@TravelAdventureswithEricB]

As someone who roots for and follows both Magic and Pels,I don't think BI is a good fit for Orlando. I Would love to see a collab with you and Phillip,I am a everydayer for both of you.

[@KING_NOLA]

If trading Ingram than Mitchell, Murray or even J. Allen will make the most sense.

[@GewSpeaks]

I think the Magic understand that keeping Isaac around will keep the Magic’s depth and defense toward the top of the league.

[@bossbusiness8137]

Orlando don’t want B I

[@corbinwatts1374]

Yall do not know Brandon Ingram was the one who said he need a point guard. Why would team need a point guard if by your own logic. Zion just need shooters cause he can play guard

[@KBeaswax]

No. You can't trust Zion playing point guard. He'll get eaten alive in the playoffs when defenses focus on you. Better yet, will he be healthy. Notice how big a difference Mike Conley was to Minnesota against Denver. Pels need someone reliable who can get things organized when things get tough

[@rollspikegaming7459]

Zion is turnover prone, and his handles is mid. I saw him plenty of times get pickpocketed by defenders because he's too unpredictable. He can't pass accurately when there is just one defender on him like Myles Turner did to him. he just good at passing open guys but he's not that great of a passer. so no way he can play point.

[@chrisflo24]

All I heard was point Zion should be the primary offense.

[@kevinjohnson6262]

BI said Pels need a point guard .It was at the end of the season exit interview.

[@jordanryanethanowona2974]

its insane to do something like that without adding draft pick

[@Jsimm100]

Magic are a good team and I like a few of there players but they don't really have any pieces that move the needle or attractive enough for me to trade BI.

[@mmNola]

Congrats CJ

[@DinoBlaxx]

Why magics would want Ingram that’s not a great trade. I wouldn’t think Magic would even sign him from free agency even much less as a trade.

[@jbraud3327]

It doesnt seem likely for any center chosen outside the top 10 in the draft would be starting caliber level during their rookie year, and counting on this being the case is too risky for a win now team.

[@Nohndl]

Thought: Are the Pelicans now trying to find the PG they traded away in Jrue Holiday?

[@markymark6928]

Why would miami need another forward? We set at forward with.franz wagner.and Paolo banchero both..we need a super star gaurd

[@anthonyvelez1022]

Let's GO MAGIC 💯 💯

[@DominickBeam]

Paolo!

[@doweiitd9363]

If they're not extending Jonas the center position is probably most important

[@doweiitd9363]

I believe you mentioned Muscala before I think he would be a great fit Pels need to maybe get creative with trading no one in the west wants to give this team an edge

[@thyviralload1359]

This trade doesn’t happen without picks being added from Orlando.

[@Antonius1911]

I hear you on the picks but I would rather have at least one legit starter. We have enough picks

[@davidcarlos4350]

As an Orlando magic fan. Good player but this is not a good trade for us. We dont beed brandon ingram… good player but not for what we need. You want to decimate our defense for anothwr offensive option…. In good brotha. Isaac is a defensive nightmare

[@YourWorstNightmare3333]

Agree franz already better than BI

[@davidcarlos4350]

@@YourWorstNightmare3333 he isnt better but he isnt worse. He is just about the same as dar as bucket getting. Brandon shoots it better but franz attacks the rim bettee. Idk how many point BI averaged this past season but Franz averaged just at 20pph. Thats more than doable for us. Shooting and play making are what the magic need

[@YourWorstNightmare3333]

@@davidcarlos4350 defense sets them apart

[@Sleaux]

Every Dayer. Jake, your new music in the opening is underwhelming. After your intro and then 'Let's go!' and then the music kicks in with a lower energy. Perhaps a trumpet heralding in the show.

[@sarj4918]

Orlando would never do that trade lol.. Also, what are you talking about bro? JI is a difference maker especially on defense

[@dunamus45]

Yall not getting Jonathan Isaac def not Jalen Suggs we gone get simmons from Portland

[@nolag4630]

Mr. ErryDat'rr 👈🏾 Thanks Jake. Ummmmmmm No. HORRIBLE trade!!!

[@keithb1978]

We need a star for a star

[@Melo_1099]

Jake bruh we don't want nothing from Orlando

[@tommyjones7234]

Jonathan Issac - YES - Cole Anthony - NO

[@richardcase9165]

jake , Isaac is the best player in that deal lol you guys at locked on really need to improve yalls talent evaluations

[@McEvanderFrago-demigod]

Every dayer!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🔥

[@3piecespicycards930]

Here’s the deal, if we trade him to the Magic, we need Franz. None of this damn Suggs or Isaac or Cole Anthony Bullshit.

[@Harden_is_goat]

Cj done won playoff seller of the year

[@anyone4501]

Ingram doesn't make sense there's Franz Wagner.

[@cormacmacaongusa]

Ingram is exactly the archetype we already have/don't need. Makes 0 sense

[@doweiitd9363]

OKC aren't using him

[@plids59]

Hi Jake

[@linxdavinci]

Please pretty please trade BI out of this great Head coach and GM 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@kevinray3372]

What happened to all the tre and Murray trade talk you know neither one of them coming here you selling wood nickels jake

[@LanceG007]

Exactly,this guy is pushing for a BI trade when in reality it doesn’t make sense at this point.They need to draft better and coach better

[@kevinray3372]

Jake is full of himself acting like a know it all and don't know anything

[@Chris_Gray]

Every dayer

[@NDMatrix]

This what I expect. A let down.

[@JH-vb4rx]

Draft kelel ware

[@bboobb9001]

Just. No. If you're not getting All-Star talent back, keep BI.

[@xavieraviles346]

Hopefully our FO is on the same page cuz we do NOT need Brandon Ingram

[@JH-vb4rx]

Trade Bi, Dyson, Larry and 2 1st for Trae young and capela. Trade CJ for Cole Anthony, Isaac and 47th pick in this years draft, sign mo bamba 2 years 5 million and if you can’t get Naji back sign Royce oneale to a cheap deal

[@YourWorstNightmare3333]

CJ is ass JI is a game changer on D You can keep your choker guard

[@lstheprodigy7761]

If Suggs or Franz aren’t included i dont think i want any parts of a Magics deal

[@YourWorstNightmare3333]

You can have your fraud star ain’t no chance you getting suggs and franz. Franz already better than BI

[@bossbusiness8137]

Magic ain’t doing no junk like that

[@lstheprodigy7761]

@@YourWorstNightmare3333 i said or not and, i dont know if i agree with franz being better but ok lol

[@whodatnola]

Everyone thinks that we're going to get a the star in trading Brandon Ingram are we going to get is a bench player

[@gerryconstant4914]

Two words Jake: hair spray (Just jealous because I lost mine). Seems Atlanta or Cleveland are teams that can fill our holes at the 5 & 1 or both.

Yall have do better with these trades man yall be trading ingram for dog food smh i promise executives aren't thinking the same way it will b a all-star type caliber player we gt bak i can promise that
