Slight Magic Edge

The completed outcomes are close, but the realized value gives Magic a narrow edge after production, asset conversion and transaction context are weighed. Incoming draft outcomes included Omar Cook. Protections and conditionality are considered so the grade does not treat every listed pick as equal face value. The grade is retrospective and does not assume Orlando could perfectly predict later player or pick outcomes at the time of the deal. Orlando received 2001 conditional second round pick (#32-Omar Cook) and sent rights to Laron Profit. The actual-team grades are C+ for the Magic and C for the Wizards, reflecting realized production, role, timing, contract/cap context and downstream draft value.
