Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Terrence Ross
Orlando Magic Receive: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Talen Horton-Tucker, 2023 2nd Round Pick, 2024 2nd Round Pick
Terrence Ross would give the Los Angeles Lakers immediate depth and ability from three-point range and beyond. He is a veteran player that knows his role and is able to contribute in many ways. The Lakers could get Ross by using some of their capital and expiring contracts.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been featured in rumors because he is on a short-term deal. This is a chance for the Lakers to take advantage of whatever value he has. Also, Talen Horton-Tucker is a player with a high-ceiling and could be wanted in the market.

The Magic could use a wing option like Horton-Tucker to add to their core to pair with Jonathan Isaac if they choose to move Aaron Gordon at the NBA trade deadline. It wouldn’t hurt to have that type of option behind Gordon on the depth chart either.
Let’s take a closer look and see how this deal would help both sides right away.
