Magic Starting 5: Trae Young Trade to Orlando?
In this story:
1. TRAE YOUNG TO MAGIC?
"If the Hawks’ situation worsens and they start thinking about shaking things up, the Magic are a team that would make lots of sense for Trae Young," NBA Analysis Network said. "They need a guard to run things through that can elevate the offense and it’s hard to imagine the market being super hot for a small guard. They have extra assets to trade and some intriguing young players that maybe Atlanta would want. The market may not be super hot for a smaller guard."
2. BUYOUT R.J. AND T ROSS?
"For Bamba and Harris, their contracts for next season are non-guaranteed, meaning the Magic could choose to invest in them again for 2023-24. The same can't be said for Hampton and Ross, who have been identified as buyout candidates by Bleacher Report."
3. MARKELLE NOMINATED FOR POTW
Orlando Magic point guard Markelle Fultz was nominated by voters to be the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the first time this season.
While the honor went to Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo for the second straight week, Fultz's nomination is the first for him this season.
While helping the Magic to a 3-1 record on the road, Fultz averaged 14 points and five assists per game.
