Magic Reportedly Open to Making Major Move By Trading Two Players in Offseason
Magic Reportedly Open to Making Major Move By Trading Two Players in Offseason originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Orlando Magic are one of the NBA's youngest and most exciting teams in the league. Advertisement They have made the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time since the 2019 and 2020 seasons. With a core of Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and Jalen Suggs, it's clear the future is bright. Orlando lost in seven games to the Cleveland Cavaliers a season ago and were sent home by the Boston Celtics in five games about six weeks ago. Despite their improvement over the last two seasons, expectations are growing and there's potential for major moves regarding the roster ahead of next season. The team clearly lacks perimeter shooting, ranking dead last in the league during 2024-2025, hitting just 31.5% of their three pointers. So, finding consistent shooting is step one. With Banchero and Wagner leading the show, the Magic excelled at scoring inside the paint, as well as earning free throws. If you pair that young duo with more spacing, it will make their lives much easier. Advertisement On top of shooting, they could also use a couple of well established veterans, but it might be at the expense of some of their youth. According to Kevin O'Connor, Orlando is open to potentially packaging players like Cole Anthony and Jonathan Isaac to acquire rotational upgrades. Injuries derailed this past season, with Banchero and Wagner each missing chunks of the season due to suffering torn obliques. Backup center Mo Wagner tore his ACL last December, causing him to miss the majority of the season and Jalen Suggs underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in early March, which ended his year. Advertisement A healthy Orlando squad will make a huge difference next season and if they can bring in any established high-level role players, they will be a force in the Eastern conference in the near future. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

Bulls rumors: Insider reveals Chicago's ‘competitive' trade desires
The post Bulls rumors: Insider reveals Chicago's 'competitive' trade desires appeared first on ClutchPoints. Like the last few offseasons, the Chicago Bulls are expected to be a popular team when it comes to trades during the next few months. The Bulls finished another disappointing season back in April, which didn't leave the door open for a top draft pick. So, the team will likely try to revamp its roster with trades this offseason. Nikola Vucevic, Coby White and Lonzo Ball are all key players from last year's team that could be involved. Advertisement Because of his contract, Lonzo Ball is a popular trade candidate for the Bulls. He has been at the forefront of trade rumors in the past, but he reached a deal with the team ahead of the trade deadline back in February. It was a two-year, $20 million deal, but only the first year is guaranteed. 'As soon as he signed that contract, he was up for trade, because that contract is so trade-friendly,' Bulls insider Joe Cowley said on Wednesday. 'It's basically a one year, $10 million deal. The team has the option for the next 10 million for year number two.' Ball isn't the only trade candidate as everyone expects Nikola Vucevic to be traded this offseason. Because of the Bulls' desire to remain competitive (which has resulted in three straight play-in tournament exits), they are stuck in an awkward middleground that has shown no signs of ending. 'It's not only Lonzo up for trade, Vooch (Nikola Vucevic) is up for trade,' Cowley continued. 'I mean, the Bulls are trying to change this roster over, and again, talk about walking a fine line and a tight rope, they're trying to do so while still trying to be competitive for some ungodly reason. That's the path that they continue to choose. So enjoy late lottery picks every year.' Advertisement Lonzo Ball and Nikola Vucevic are two key players that might get traded this offseason, but Josh Giddey is someone that the Bulls are liklely going to re-sign. 'I think we all wrote when Lonzo signed that deal on the, I believe, was the night of the trade deadline in Minnesota, we all wrote that, basically, this deal was signed to be a trade candidate,' Cowley said. 'I mean, Lonzo spun it as he wanted to stay here. He wanted to stay close to Dr. Cole. But look, everything is on the table for the Bulls this off season. Vooch, Lonzo, a package of those two, whatever they can do to try and add to this mix that they're trying to build on the run, as well as resigning Josh Giddey, that's going to be coming shortly too.' As you can see, the Bulls have big decisions to make surrounding a lot of their top players. This is another crucial offseason for the team, and it has to be a good one as the fan base grew tired of the on-court product a long time ago.
