3. With Magic for Victor Oladipo

Oddly enough, one of the teams you really aren’t hearing much about leading up to the 2016 NBA Draft is the Orlando Magic. Despite the fact that they have a lottery pick (albeit in the late lottery) and despite the fact that they are viewed as one of the teams in this league that you’d have to consider “up next” in regards to their young talent being able to elevate the team as a whole to the next level of success, you’d think they’d make some more noise.

If they are willing to work the 76ers, though, they could make an absolutely enormous splash on draft day. When you look at the Philadelphia roster, it’s clear that they are in the business of trying to find any kind of quality guards this offseason as they don’t really have many at all. As such, the Magic could be a trade partner as they could come at them with a trade involving Victor Oladipo.

As we saw last year, Oladipo might not fit quite as well into what the Magic are trying to do in building their team as they’d once hoped. However, he’s still clearly valuable in this league and still is a recent No. 2 overall pick. So if the 76ers could pull off a deal that would land them Oladipo in some bigger package, that would be huge for Philly.
