ORLANDO, Fla. -- With the Orlando Magic possessing the worst record in the NBA (12-43), the team is not likely to be active in Thursday's NBA trading deadline.
If any players were to e moved by the Magic, the most likely candidates would be Terence Ross, Glenn Harris, or Mo Bamba. And that's a big if, of course
The Magic are literally years away from contending and seem content to develop the core players from within following last season's big sell-off at the trading deadline of franchise center Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon, and Greg Fournier.
