The NBA Trade Deadline is Thursday at 3 p.m. Everyone’s attention is on that date and the potential for the Orlando Magic to change their roster.
It seems everyone knows the Magic have to flip over their core and make changes. By all accounts, the Magic are trying to do that.
According to Zach Lowe of ESPN.com, the Magic are making everyone outside of Aaron Gordon and Jonathan Isaac “readily available.” The growing expectation is Elfrid Payton will not be in a Magic uniform next year. Considering he is a restricted free agent the time to trade him would be now to return some value for him instead of letting him walk for nothing.
