Why The Orlando Magic Do The Deal
There’s a reason why the Magic have so many odd men out. This rebuilding team has amassed more young talent than they can manage.
This season, it’s paying off. The Magic are still a lottery team, but they’re on the rise. It may be time to start consolidating some of their young players.
That’s part of what they’re doing here. At the same time, a recent lottery pick like Suggs and Bol have more combined trade value than Beasley. That’s why the Magic are getting a pick swap here.
Still, this deal should benefit them next season. The Magic have a surplus of playmaking. By adding an elite movement shooter like Beasley, they’ll be balancing their roster.
