Input from a diehard Magic fan.

Vuc trade - Not massively on board with. If the picks were unprotected I'd probably be more ok with since lotto odds are cumulative and it would have raised our shot at a Top 4 pick. I'm concerned with it falling mid-late lotto and the Bulls getting lucky. I'd have also been ok with it if they had tossed another young guy in. I can't believe that nobody offered similar or better than this really. Shedding Aminu was nice at least.

Fournier trade - It's whatever. I actually did a complete 180 on Fournier and wanted us to resign him after hating him 2 years ago. He's expiring though and this is probably the best offer we for. Again I'd have liked to extract a back end of the roster rookie deal guy from the Celtics to kick the tires on but it is what it is. We could have also waited and tried to do a sign and trade. We do at least generate a large TPE

Gordon trade - I'm probably most ok with this one. I think all the linked deals with AG were very samey so it was kind of pick your poison on the young player. Other Magic fans are higher on RJ than me and the pick could potentially be good since its so far out and lightly protected.

Overall I'm surprised we completely gutted the roster. I expected a light reset and to go for it next season, especially after the Smart rumor. Seeing us go full rebuild is a shock but I'm not necessarily against it. Hopefully our pick falls in the Top 4 and the Bulls pick is like 8-14 where we can get a solid guy or package it to try move up. If Bulls get lucky in the lotto it will be soul crushing.

If nothing else we should at least have an entertaining young core next season but we are probably a few seasons back from doing anything which is tough to swallow.
