Magic Starting 5: Trade Rumors Swirling Around Gary Harris
1. HARRIS TRADE COMING? "Harris is a black sheep of sorts in a young backcourt built around Markelle Fultz, Cole Anthony and Jalen Suggs," Nadkarni wrote. "Harris isn’t a meaningful part of the future there, and he would be great on a team with legitimate Finals aspirations."
2. MAGIC EX PROMOTION? "Rob Hennigan is expected to garner interest of his own as Oklahoma City reemerges in the perennial playoff picture over the next few seasons behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the rest of the talented young Thunder," Yahoo! Sports insider Jake Fischer writes.
3. NELSON IMPRESSIN' "Jameer Nelson, the former All-Star point guard, has become a valued member of Philadelphia’s front office, cutting his teeth primarily with the team’s G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats," Yahoo! Sports insider Jake Fischer writes.
4. MAGIC IN MEXICO “With the Magic having been to London twice, Japan, China, Brazil and Mexico City previously, we love representing the NBA and the City of Orlando when we have the opportunity to play in these Global Games," Magic CEO Alex Martins said. "We’ve had the opportunity to be in Mexico City before, and we know the passion of the fans and are really looking forward to bringing our team back to Mexico City to play.”
5. MURKY ROOKIE "Their exact fit is a bit murky, but the Magic took a swing on upside with both as they are still in the mode of adding talent and seeing what sticks at the guard spots," UPROXX writes.
