According to Brian Windhorst the Magic's FO do not reach out to teams at all in an attempt to make trades:
I've heard they're not a deadline trading team, preferring summer deals instead. As a Spurs fan whose team had seldom made Feb deals but being more opportunistic of late, sometimes you have to strike. It does depend on where a given team is, how ready it is to compete, but yeah you have to facilitate and support a team on the cusp.
Orlando did not do meaningful trade in 4 years.
Current FO constructed one of top 10 worst shooting teams in nba history ( current one) and at deadline decided "nah, looks good".
Even Magic "PGs" know this roster need actual PG. But nop. Give up ball to 6'10 people and call iso for them every game. That will do it.
In 24 games this year, that roster failed to score 100 points. In 7 games they failed to score 90 points.
Nothing about current Magic roster makes any sense. They resigned Carter and Isaac after first healthy year in their careers, and both just went back at being somewhat injury prone and aged 10 years right after.
Who drafts guy projected to be late in first round with 11th pick to play him in G league whole year?
Who drafts PG and has him playing SF for two years?
It's insane how Weltman still has a job, after 8 years he had two years with positive record and one set of core already walked out ( Vuc, Gordon, Evan) . That's how that " 4 years ago " trade actually happened. Gordon asked to be traded in February. Weltman didn't trade him until month later Gordon didn't went in public and ask out. It's crazy.
He made one good trade: Vucevic to the Bulls.
. Pick turns into Maxey.
