Underneath the hybrid trade section, Orlando seems to have listed Philadelphia 76ers rookie Dario Saric as a prospective target this summer. That’s nonsense: Saric has emerged as the Rookie of the Year frontrunner and has fixed himself into Philly’s foreseeable future.
But in parentheses, it appears the Magic wrote “for AG?” which can only mean one thing: The Magic seem to have thought about a Saric-Gordon swap.
Philadelphia would likely scoff at that trade. Saric is a skilled rookie while Gordon, though a year younger, has a game predicated on athleticism. That trade would also sap the 76ers of its front court versatility and clog the paint with another inside scorer.
