Orlando Magic have punted 2nd round picks, some with good reason
You could visibly feel the collective eyes rolling as the news came down Sunday morning.
The Orlando Magic were shuttling off more second-round picks for an undefined asset. The Magic spinning second-round picks to the future has become as much of a draft night trope as taking the player with the longest wingspan.
The latest move at least was a little bit more creative.
Sunday, the Orlando Magic reportedly traded three future second-round picks — all coming from currently contending teams and likely to fall in the final 10 picks of the draft — for the right to swap first-round picks with the Phoenix Suns in the 2026 NBA Draft.
