I don't see how it works for ORL at all.
ORL basically uses a 2-platoon rotation, 2-deep at every position, and typically rotating 10. The starters get the bigger minutes, of course.
THJ would be crammed into what is already a 5-man guard rotation (Suggs, Fultz, Black, Harris, Anthony). Fultz has had injury issues but prized rookie Black has been moved from 3rd string to starter as Fultz is out. Don't see THJ as filling a need, and looks like he would be just roster clutter with an $18M salary.
Isaac is the backup to Banchero at PF. They split 48 minutes. There's not another PF on the roster worth spit.
ORL roster is filled with good players or high-potential ones at every position, playing well (sit 2nd in EC so far), and have no payroll issues (are about $5M under the cap). There is a lot of expected upside in the guys they have, to get even better. I would expect them to be disinterested in juggling their roster unless you really wowed them, because why?
Harris/Isaac for THJ/Kleber?
We just paid a whole lot of money to a guy that went 9-29 (31%) on FG and 3-20 (15%) 3-pt% in both our win or go home elimination games last couple of playoffs. SMH
