NBA Rumors: Orlando Magic have ‘entire team on table’
By Bryan Rose
We’re just days away from the 2014 NBA Draft and the Orlando Magic appear open for business. As one of the youngest teams in the league, it’s likely the Magic are looking to add some veteran influence to their roster in addition to expediting a return to the postseason. Given that, few teams have been rumored to make a move more than the Magic.

Given all that, it doesn’t come across entirely shocking that the Orlando Magic are said to have their ‘entire team on the table’ come Thursday, this according to Basketball Insiders Steve Kyler.
“The Orlando Magic are absolutely open for business, as one rival executive put it,” says Kyler. “Although there have been several reports suggesting specific packages and offers, sources close to the process say the team isn’t nearly that close to a deal to be hammering on specifics. The Magic are said to have the entire team on the table for the right combination of assets.”
The Magic have been linked to a variety of deals which include possibly trading into the top two picks or trading away Arron Afflalo, though there’s been on concrete evidence suggesting either of those deals are more than just typical draft time rumors.
Owners of the No. 4 and No. 12 picks in the first round, the Orlando Magic certainly have plenty of assets to make a deal, if they so incline. They also shouldn’t have any shortage of suitors looking to acquire their picks and players on their roster in the coming days.
