The Magic don’t trade anyone

The Orlando Magic have been in the rumor mill for the past few weeks, yet it seems as if their asking price for their players is way more than the current market value. And that’s a problem, especially when there are a lot more sellers than buyers in the trade market, which might be the case this season.

I predict that the Magic won’t trade anyone, and will be stuck with Elfrid Payton, Evan Fournier, Mario Hezonja and Aaron Gordon – all players that they’re reportedly shopping ahead of the trade deadline.

This would be such an Orlando move. Orlando clearly needs to make some changes to its roster, and them overpricing their assets would limit that ability. That’s what I believe is going to unfold over the next couple of days.
