NBA Trade Rumors: 10 bold predictions for the trade deadline

NBA Trade Deadline bold predictions: The Orlando Magic will trade one of their core players

Over the past couple of seasons, despite making a return to the playoffs, the Orlando Magic have become somewhat the definition of NBA mediocrity. They are good enough to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference but never in a position to make much noise.

It’s likely time for a pivot to retooling and could be time for the team to move one of its core players. That could be either Aaron Gordon, Nikola Vucevic, or both. It’d come as somewhat of a surprising move but likely one that is overdue.

Orlando could get a nice return for either of those players and would help them get a jump start on a retooling. There will be teams interested in both of these players from Orlando and the Magic shouldn’t have a hard time moving them if they come to that conclusion over the course of the next few weeks.

It’s time for a change in Orlando.
