Question: Is it finally time to sell?
The Orlando Magic have continued to do the tough move of competing every season and finishing somewhere between seventh and 11th for a while. Injuries across the roster have led to playoff contention being out of the question this season. So if they are going to be bad and start to focus on the future, should the Magic take advantage of a market that does not seem flush will sellers?
Nikola Vucevic is the name that is thrown around the most, but that is unlikely to actually happen. Rare is the All-Star that likes playing in Orlando and appears to be dedicated to building something there. That should not be undervalued.
Evan Fournier, Khem Birch and even Terrence Ross should be as attached to like in the Sunshine State. They all could have use on a playoff roster, with Fournier being the highlight of the bunch. For the Magic, getting anything back for the pending free agent would be a win for a team in need of those. Birch is also a pending free agent and would be a solid reserve big for many teams. Moving him would also open up minutes for Mo Bamba. Ross still has a couple of years on his deal but is one of the best bench scorers in the league.
