Isaac’s D has been incredible and he has the more flexible contract. Yeah, he’s got an injury history and yes Orlando could use THJ’s shooting. But, we could also use what Isaac brings to the table. I’m not positive we’d be receiving Isaac and a pick of some kind. I think it would be a pretty good deal straight up.
I didn't follow Orlando at all and Isaac wasn't playing against Mavs. I thought he is more or less cooked. If that is not the case, they have other contracts they could possibly use. True though, both other possibilities (Harris, Fultz) are expiring. Perhaps even Ingles could be an option (paired with someone like Okeke). He is more or less done, but his team option for next season would give us a lot of flexibility.
Orlando might be the team most desperate for shooting and improving in that area could make them a very decent East team with their current core. I might be wrong and they might have their eyes set for bigger targets, but I see them as a team willing to pay for shooting. Those expiring deals mentioned could be better used in a TDL deal (three team deal). Third team could receive expiring contract(s) from Orlando, Mavs 2027 pick and another protected pick from Orlando. This might be enough for some of the better targets we discussed.
