We're less than two weeks away from the 2026 NBA trade deadline, and the main goal for the Orlando Magic should be clear. This team's payroll currently has them sitting just above the first tax apron. To avoid incurring penalties, the Magic should be looking to move off certain contracts that will allow them to get under the apron and have more flexibility moving forward.
This team is in a bit of a strange spot at the moment. Orlando dealt away a lot of assets to be able to acquire Desmond Bane last summer, and they're not in a position to make much of a splashy move.
