The Orlando Magic have agreed to trade power forward Serge Ibaka to the Toronto Raptors for swingman Terrence Ross and a 2017 first-round pick, according to The Vertical.
Magic officials, disappointed with their disastrous season, came to the conclusion that they had to trade Ibaka before the Feb. 23 NBA trade deadline rather than risk losing him for nothing in free agency in July.
Ross, 26, is a superb athlete and a capable outside shooter who has made 37.5 percent of his 3-point tries this season.
Ross has two more full seasons remaining on his contract at a salary of $10.
