Why The Orlando Magic Do The Deal 

The Magic wouldn’t pass on Henderson to acquire Lillard. With that said, he is a better fit. 

This team needs an off-ball threat in their backcourt. Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are both potentially elite playmakers. Now, this team needs to add spacing around them. 

Lillard provides plenty of spacing. Of course, that’s not all that he adds. This is one of the best offensive guards in the NBA. 

Are the Magic taking a risk here? You bet. They’re pushing their chips on a win-now move in spite of being a lottery pick.

If nothing else, they’ll have plenty of eyes on them if they make this trade.
