Although the regular season has not long been started, the overall pattern has been quite clear. Especially in the group that plays the best in the No. 1 pick, the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Orlando Magic, Charlotte Hornets and Detroit Pistons, are firmly in the first echelon. Unless a very small probability situation occurs, the No. 1 pick next year will definitely be one of these five teams.
Among them, the Orlando Magic rebounded significantly during this period. They first defeated the Los Angeles Clippers, and then doubled the Toronto Raptors. After winning three consecutive victories, although the Orlando Magic still ranked fifth from the bottom in the league, the management could no longer sit still. According to relevant reports from US media, the Magic have publicly sold three major players, Gary Harris , Terrence Rose and Mohammed Bamba. The team's management has a clear idea. It is still focusing on cultivating new players this season and strive for the top first-round picks. Some players who are not in the future plan should be given away as they have a higher market situation.
We can find that among these three players, except for Terrence Rose, who has expired contracts, the Magic is eager to cash out as soon as possible, and the other two players are long contracts, and the Magic is more for the consideration of reducing future salary pressure. Terrence Ross and Mohamed Bamba had an affair with the Rockets, but for various reasons, he was unable to come to Houston.
Gary Harris was the top 3D swinger in the league at his peak. However, he has been plagued by injuries in recent years. Gary Harris was unable to play at the beginning of this season, but after his comeback, Gary Harris quickly found his feelings. So far, he averaged 10.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2 assists and 0.7 steals per game so far, and his offensive efficiency is quite high. In addition, the 28-year-old Gary Harris is in his year of playing, which will definitely arouse the interest of many playoffs and even championship teams.
In addition to being a dunker, Terrence Ross has also excellent outside shooting ability. So far this season, Terrence Ross has averaged 8.2 points, 2 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 38.5%. Since Terrence Ross has an expiring contract, it is actually not difficult to deal with him. As long as the Magic don't speak loudly, Terrence Ross can also join a playoff team as he wishes.
As for Mohammed Bamba, he has been playing in Magic since he entered the league. However, Mohammed Bamba has never been regarded as the core. Even if he renewed his contract with Magic this summer, Mohammed Bamba was only regarded as a spare tire. Currently, the Magic already have Paul Banchero , Wendel Carter and Wagner Brothers in the interior position. They really don’t have the position of Mohammed Bamba. He averaged 8.4 points and 5.1 rebounds per game this season, so he should not worry about not being able to find his next home.
