Why The Orlando Magic Do The Deal
The Bulls appear to be on the decline. By contrast, the Magic are on the upswing.
This looks like a team that’s ready to play meaningful basketball. Sure, they’re still a losing team, but this young core has flashed plenty of potential.
Moreover, they’ll be adding their own lottery pick this year anyway. Do they really need another? Isn’t it time for the Magic to shift their focus away from development and towards competing?
If so, LaVine would be a significant acquisition for them. He’s the best player in this deal by a considerable margin.
