Orlando Magic: 7 Trade deadline targets to cement status as a top 4 team in the East

Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls

At the end of the day, there's a good chance that Zach LaVine ends up being the biggest name that is moved at the NBA Trade Deadline. If that does end up being the case, there will be many teams involved in that process. If the market doesn't drastically pick up, there could be a chance that a team like the Orlando Magic could jump in late to win the sweepstakes. If LaVine is traded for pennies on the dollar, the Magic should at the very least inquire about the possibility.

LaVine could thrive with the Magic considering there would be significantly less pressure to win and the spotlight would effectively be off him. Plus, playing next to prolific scorers such as Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero could be quite beneficial as he looks to rebuild his reputation around the league.

With the Magic, LaVine could also end the questions of whether he's a winning player or not. That's been the biggest knock on him recently and ultimately the reason why the trade market for him has been so shallow. Right now, LaVine is viewed as a good player that doesn't have a huge impact on winning. He can start to change that perception with the young Magic.

If the Magic do pursue a difference-making move at the NBA Trade Deadline, there will be options. The question is, does Orlando believe that the right one is out there?
