Teams that need to make a move at the NBA Trade Deadline: Orlando Magic

Even though the Orlando Magic have made strides as a franchise over the last couple of seasons, which have included back-to-back playoff appearances, I still don’t believe that this team is in a place where they can safely stand pat at the NBA Trade Deadline.

Orlando has a few players that they could potentially move in exchange for some future assets. This is a team that is not anywhere near close to contention in the East and should try to hit a minor reset heading into the offseason.

This core has been exhausted and its ceiling is nothing more than a first-round playoff exit. It’s time for the Orlando Magic to mix it up and shake up the roster. A couple of names that they could potentially move that would bring in solid assets is Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic.
