Magic land $48 million center in mock trade amid swirling NBA rumors
The Orlando Magic are not expected to be major players before the NBA trade deadline, but desperation from an in-conference rival might push them in a different direction. The Magic are 3-5. On top of that, Orlando is without Paolo Banchero for at least four weeks with an ankle injury. If the Milwaukee Bucks are serious about tearing down their core and rebuilding, the Magic, like everyone, will show some interest in Giannis Antetokounmpo, but he wouldn't be a good fit next to Banchero and Franz Wagner.
