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.

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.

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

    Dywane Wade’s nicknames are “Flash” and “D-Wade”. Wade stands at 6ft 4in and weighs 216lbs. He is a shooting guard who is capable of playing the point, and often does late in games. He is one of the quickest and hardest to guard players in the NBA. He has mastered the “Freeze Fake”, which is when a player pump fakes, waits for the player to commit and then jump up into the player to draw the foul. Wade has also established himself as one of the best clutch players in the NBA. One of his greatest strengths is getting to the rim and finishing, sometimes after mid-air collisions. One of his greatest weaknesses is his three-point range. Due to his style of play he has been injured a lot and in the past two years he has had surgery on his knee and his shoulder.…
