26. Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic didn’t make any huge moves at the NBA Trade Deadline despite the fact that they were linked to Fred VanVleet. But heading into the offseason, it will be interesting to see if the Magic end up revisiting that interest.
If they do make a move for a veteran star free agent, they could emerge as an interesting team in the Eastern Conference.
25. Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz was another team that ended up being a seller at the NBA Trade Deadline despite the fact that they were flirting with the idea of making a move for a star. The Jazz did end up trading Jarred Vanderbilt, Mike Conley, and Malik Beasley.
This further shows that the Jazz is still in the midst of the early stages of their rebuild if there was any uncertainty on that front. This summer should be interesting for the Jazz and depending on what they elect to do, it should give us a greater indication of what this team’s timeline will be moving forward.
