Orlando Magic Trade Deadline Targets & Cap Breakdown | Who Stays, Who Goes & Best Trade Fits

Описание: With the NBA trade deadline approaching, the Orlando Magic face a pivotal moment. Unlike last season, this year’s deadline carries real urgency — improving the bench and getting under the luxury tax are no longer optional. In this video, we break down every realistic path forward using cap rules, contract structures, and basketball fit.

Key topics covered in this breakdown:
Why the Magic are far ore likely to make a trade this year than last season
The two front-office priorities: bench upgrades and avoiding the repeater tax
How the Desmond Bane trade already reshaped Orlando’s asset pool

Why Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and Desmond Bane are essentially untouchable

The “Hell No” trade tier (Giannis, Trae Young, Ja Morant, LaMelo Ball) and why they don’t fit

Cap realities explained: poison pill contracts, first apron, and luxury tax math

Why Jonathan Isaac, Tyus Jones, and Jet Howard are Orlando’s most tradable contracts

Realistic guard and bench targets including:
Malik Monk
Collin Sexton
Dennis Schröder
José Alvarado
Cam Thomas (high-risk flyer)
Multi-team trade concepts that get Orlando under the tax while adding scoring or defense

Why backup point guard insurance is critical with Jaylen Suggs’ injury history
Which deals help Orlando compete now without mortgaging the future

This is a full basketball + salary cap breakdown focused on what the Magic can do — not fantasy trades that ignore NBA rules.
