The Orlando Magic Case
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.

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.

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
