In an NBA Draft where most teams seem willing to trade down, the Orlando Magic reportedly are looking to trade up.
The Magic certainly have a recent history of zigging while the league is zagging — offense built around a center, point guard who can’t shoot, prioritizing defense and wingspan, drafting a redshirt rookie — and these trade rumors, if true, certainly would extend that trend.
On the surface, the initial rumors made some sense: the Magic are looking to move up in order to (I hope) ensure they can address their shooting needs and land someone like Aaron Nesmith.
