At the NBA Trade Deadline, the Orlando Magic elected to hit the hard reset button by trading their three top players. They’re knee-deep in a full-blown rebuild but this team still has a few pieces already in place. Markelle Fultz has been a good acquisition for this team and the hope is that he will be back next season healthy.

Cole Anthony has shown promise throughout this season and is averaging 12 points, five rebounds, and four assists during his rookie season. And we can’t forget about Jonathan Isaac, who missed all season due to an injury he suffered last year.

With a projected top 5 pick, there’s a chance that the Magic are essentially in the same place they were this season before trading Aaron Gordon, Nikola Vucevic, and Evan Fournier. Plus, this team will have money to spend during the offseason.
