The Magic had two first round picks and used them to select former Arizona Wildcats’ forward Aaron Gordon with the fourth-overall selection and traded the rights to the 12th-overall selection, Croatian forward Dario Saric and a future pick to the Philadelphia 76ers for the rights to the 10th-overall pick, former Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns’ point guard Elfrid Payton. They waived point guard Jameer Nelson Nelson after 10 years with the club and parted ways with guard E’Twaun Moore, big man Jason Maxiell and guard Ronnie Price. They claimed Los Angeles Clippers’ guard Willie Green off of waivers and signed guard Ben Gordon and power forward Channing Frye.

Before any of those moves, they dealt guard Arron Afflalo, to the Denver Nuggets for guard Evan Fournier and the 56th-overall pick in last month’s draft, which wound up being former Iowa Hawkeyes’ guard Roy Devyn Marble.
