Orlando Magic: 3 players most likely to be traded before deadline
By Luke Duffy
The Orlando Magic could have some moves to make before the 2019 NBA Trade Deadline, but who are the three most likely players to be traded?
Although the Orlando Magic have steadied the ship with some big wins recently, this still looks like an organization that will be a player as the 2019 NBA Trade Deadline approaches. Their roster remains imbalanced, with an obvious need for more depth at the point guard position.
It is one thing to be looking to add to your ranks, but in order to get the kind of players in that could help the Magic make it back to the postseason, they have to have assets of their own that other teams would find appealing.
Unlike in years gone by, this is something the Magic do actually possess this season. Their blend of intriguing young players yet to approach to their full potential and veteran presences are both of interest to other franchises around the league.
Depending on what the Magic are looking to get and which teams they’re talking to, they will have to give up at least one of these player types. Rebuilding teams that pick up the phone would likely favor young talent or picks, while those with one foot already in the postseason and jostling for seeding would prefer a veteran to add to their rotation.
If the Magic were to make a move before Feb. 7, the following are the three most likely players to be moved, taking into account they are no longer tanking themselves. They will require talent back, but the players we are about to mention would have no problem cracking the rotation of any other team in the league.
