Orlando currently sits as the frontrunner at +350, implying a 22% likelihood he’s moved to the rebuilding Magic. Orlando has a wealth of young and talented wings but could use a skilled guard like VanVleet to round out its roster.

errbody guessing but no oneās got a clue
FVV isnāt gonna get you Guys like Suggs or Fultz. The return from magic would be guys like Gary Harris and Bamba, or RJ Hampton, Cole Anthony.
Get us Bamba, Anthony and Harris.
We have 4 main issues on this team. Shooting, depth, center, second offensive option behind Siakam.
I think either OG or Scottie will be able to work themselves into that second offensive option, and this trade would resolve the other 3.
Bamba isnāt an all-star but between him and Precious weād have a real Center rotation. Bamba is able to stretch the floor, rebounds well, and can provide decent rim protection.
Anthony gives us a playmaking guard to backup Scottie/Pascal who will initiate most of the offence. Heās also young and has time to develop.
Harris gives us a reliable bench shooter to replace Fredās shooting ability.
One of the few win-win trades that helps us in the short and long term.
I wouldn’t mind getting a return including Bamba and the less favourable of the Magic/Bulls 2023 1sts.
Article also mentions New Orleans and Miami as possible candidates. Here’s a quick mock trade from each team by me:
**Orlando**
FVV for Gary Harris, Mo Bamba, Cole Anthony, and a 2025 Nuggets FRP
*Note that this trade puts us nearly 5m over the tax so we’d be searching for another one to dump salary. It’s tough to get under the tax due to Orlando’s filler contracts not quite adding up nicely for us lol. You could send Khem, Otto or Thad to Orlando to stay under the tax.*
**New Orleans**
FVV for Devonte Graham, Jaxson Hayes, and any of the following:
Dyson Daniels
Trey Murphy
Kira Lewis + 2024 Bucks FRP
*None of these seem particularly likely to me. The first 2 would be great but don’t think NOLA gives up either Daniels or Murphy. I don’t know if the Raps settle for the third one.*
**Miami**
FVV and Birch for Lowry + 2023 FRP
*Getting bold on this one but I don’t hate this tbh lol. Miami gets a younger PG as well as another backup big that they desperately need. We get a FRP this year and Lowry who’s a better PG for our team lol. Unrealistic but was fun to make.*
FVV for Oladipo, Martin, and Jovic
*Trying to avoid Duncan Robinson’s albatross contract makes a deal with the Heat difficult lol. The Heat are already a bit slim on depth so don’t know how likely this is*
Ain’t no way Masai is gonna let Jaxson Hayes be on this roster after the message he sent about that kind of garbage releasing Terrence Davis.
uninitiated fan here — why he will be traded

free agent?
