Magic Starting 5: Draft Trade Up Coming?

1. MAGIC TRADING UP IN THE DRAFT?

According to HoopsHype, "there’s a belief around the league that Orlando is open to moving the No. 6 and No. 11 picks if the Magic can move into the 3-5 range."

2. OR HOW ABOUT A TRADE FOR A STAR?

"The Athletic ranked Orlando in the second best position - just under the Oklahoma City Thunder - to trade for a star with its collection of seven first-round draft picks over the next five years."

3. JI'S RISK

“It can’t hurt to have him back out there, see if he can contribute,” an Western Conference executive said via Heavy. “But maybe you get something out of him. If not, you play out the year and you can be rid of his contract completely next summer. That’s a worthwhile risk.”
