Magic face critical NBA trade deadline choices: Who stays? Who goes?

By Josh Robbins Mar 15, 2021 14
The Orlando Magic hurtle toward the upcoming NBA trade deadline with a potential major transition in their future. Nikola Vucevic, their lone All-Star, will never have a higher trade value than he has now. Evan Fournier, their second-leading scorer, will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and re-signing him likely would take Orlando into the luxury tax. Aaron Gordon’s free agency looms in 2022.

So what will the team do before the trade deadline arrives on March 25?

I’ll discuss the likelihood of a trade for each player on the team’s roster, from Al-Farouq Aminu to Vucevic.

The Magic also own all of their upcoming first-round draft picks and do not have any other teams’ first-round selections.
