The Orlando Magic might be one of the teams at the center of the trade deadline. The team is stuck between trying to make the Playoffs and take advantage of the team’s surprising start and still trying to build for the future.
They are not quite buyers, looking to add that last piece to win now. But they are certainly not sellers, willing to give up the season for the future.
At least, not at this point.
Still, the Magic will have some of the most attractive trade deadline assets before the Feb. 7 deadline with expiring contracts playing at career levels in Nikola Vucevic and Terrence Ross plus Jonathon Simmons‘ non-guaranteed deal for next year.
