Why This Trade Would Benefit The Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic came into the season with hopes of making a third straight trip to the postseason. With the weak nature of the Eastern Conference, this was to be expected but Orlando has fallen behind after a good start. This could lead them to make some moves at the NBA trade deadline and blow up the roster a bit.

Evan Fournier and Aaron Gordon are the two biggest trade pieces for Orlando. Nikola Vucevic seems like the franchise player that the team should have stick around. Ross is another name that sometimes gets overlooked but could land them a return.

The Magic have relied on the same core for years now and it could be time to make a change. At some point, that is what teams will have to do if they have not seen the success that they want.
