Would this trade make sense for the Orlando Magic?
The Orlando Magic were a postseason team in recent years but they were never taken seriously as a championship contender. This year, they made the transition and decided to sell at the NBA trade deadline. This jump started the process and now, this is a deal that could continue the trend.
Mo Bamba was a lottery pick of Orlando but has been unable to find his identity. With his current age, there is plenty of value and that is what the Magic could take advantage of.
In this deal, the Magic would get plenty of draft capital in return. That is important for a team like Orlando looking to load up on assets for other deals down the line.
Jordan is a short-term option and one that could be flipped in another deal as well. The main intrigue here is getting something for a player that has not been able to find his way in the organization.
