Orlando Magic Receive: Ricky Rubio

Minnesota Timberwolves Receive: Al-Farouq Aminu, Michael Carter-Williams, Gary Clark, 2021 2nd Round Pick, 2022 2nd Round Pick (via IND)

Ricky Rubio is the veteran name that would be going to the Magic in this deal. He would be the replacement for Fultz at the top of the offense. He is also a short-term option for a team that has fallen down in the Eastern Conference.

In return, the Timberwolves would land players like Al-Farouq Aminu and Michael Carter-Williams. They would also get some second-round draft capital along with Gary Clark.

There wouldn’t be a long-term commitment needed from the Orlando Magic with Rubio. Next season will be the final year of his current contract and while he will earn $17.8M in 2021-22, he could end up being a helpful trade chip as an expiring contract.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this deal would benefit both sides right away.
