This is a blockbuster-type trade that could help the Kings make and compete in the playoffs this season and for years to come. This deal shakes out fairly for both teams. The Magic could get great value out of two players on expiring contracts and Oladipo, who has had some inconsistencies through position changes to production over the course of a season.
The offensive capability and attack could easily change from an inside-out approach to an outside-in approach within each game. He would force opposing defenses to collapse and crowd the paint, which would open up the three-point shooting barrage for Hezonja and Payton. Ultimately, Gay would provide a great pair with Tobias Harris and Nikola Vucevic.
