The Orlando Magic have quite the trade deadline conundrum.
They are 3.5 games behind the Miami Heat for the eighth spot in the East. They are 3.5 games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the fifth worst record in the league.
To buy, or not to buy, that is the question.
If the Magic front office is truly hellbent on making the playoffs, there are areas of need the Magic could address at the deadline (point guard depth, perimeter shooting). If Jeff Weltman and John Hammond decide that the Magic are better off as sellers than buyers, they have valuable commodities they could dangle in front of contending teams interested in a potential rental.
