The Orlando Magic continues to struggle in the ongoing regular season. It looks like the Magic management are desperately seeking some help to change their fortunes around. Recent reports are suggesting that they should consider Danilo Gallinari from the Denver Nuggets as an option before the trade deadline ends.
However, Gallinari is performing well for the Nuggets this season producing 16.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. But, he has a player option after this season not to re-sign with the team and become a free agent to explore the market. With that in mind, the Denver Nuggets might consider of trading him if good trade offers is presented rather than let him go for nothing.
On the other hand, the Magic seems to be having a hard time of finding their rhythm as they continue to slide the Eastern Conference standing. After hauling some of best available assets in the offseason like Serge Ibaka (trade) and Bismack Biyombo (free agent), many believed that they will perform decently this season. But it seems that the acquisition never make wonders for them.
Now, recent reports are saying that the Orlando Magic are starting to move right now. According to CBSSports, Magic general manager Rob Hennigan just recently said that they will "be aggressive" on the trade market and would like to augment the team with scorer and shooters.
Hennigan also express his disappointment with the Magic's defense as he expected them to be a defense-first team as per stated in the report. Aside from defense, their offense is a big concern as they are ranked 29th overall in the whole league when it comes to offensive efficiency rating. One report now recommends potential players that the Magic should target to acquire.
According to Orlando Magic Daily, one player that the Magic should give consideration of is Danilo Gallinari who has a better effective field goal percentage plus good free throw shooter and he seems to be the ideal player they are looking for. So who will the Magic offer to the Denver Nuggets?
Trade scenario is suggesting that the Magic will send Serge Ibaka and Mario Hezonja to the Nuggets for Gallinari. Having Gallinari will give the Magic a proven scorer and great outside shooter (39.1% at the three-point line) while Ibaka will shore up the frontcourt of the Nuggets and help them on defense.
Will the Orlando Magic decide to pursue Danilo Gallinari from the Denver Nuggets before the trade deadline ends?
