Orlando Magic: 3 players most likely to be traded in 2018-19

The Orlando Magic look like an organization with a few moves in them before next year’s trade deadline. Here are the three players they are most likely to trade in 2018-19.

It may seem hard to believe, but this is the most exciting time to be an Orlando Magic fan in quite some time now.

Some smart moves from a new front office only two years in, plus consecutive lottery picks in Jonathan Isaac and Mohamed Bamba, have helped lift the cloud that was hanging over the franchise.

Combine that with Aaron Gordon signing an extension with the team this summer, and if you look hard enough, you can see the makings of a young core already in place. Despite all of this positivity, however, there are still question marks up and down the roster.

The depth at the point guard position is among the worst in the league, and the Magic’s front line looks overcrowded. All of this points toward some trade activity taking place from now until the deadline in early 2019.

But who will Orlando attempt to trade? Should the Magic be looking to make moves with winning in mind now, or is trying to find franchise-changing talent (either through trade or more likely the draft) still the way they should be thinking?

Here are the three most likely candidates to be gone by season’s end, although it remains to be seen what exactly the Magic could get in return for all three individuals on this list.
