Boston Celtics: 3 teams that Cs should target for trades

Boston Celtics trade partner No. 2) Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic are an interesting team, as there are two polar opposite reasons why we believe they could serve as a solid trade partner with the Boston Celtics.

On the one hand, they are coming off of their second-straight postseason appearance and, with their solid start, they look to be interested in making it three in a row.

On the other hand, with the season-ending injury to the seemingly resurged Markelle Fultz, followed by their subsequent three straight losses thereafter (two of which came in blowout fashion) they could also look to a rebuild, as they already have quite a few players in tow that have already been rumored to be on the trading block.

No matter which mindset you believe the team has, we can all agree on one thing: the Magic have some intriguing talents on their roster.

One of the most often linked players from the organization has been center Mo Bamba who, in year three, is still struggling to find playing time and, in theory, could be had for a reletively cheap price.

Aaron Gordon is also a player we have discussed on numerous occasions as a potential target for the Cs, as they could use for a legitimate power forward and, at 25-years-old, could be a great asset in the now as well as moving forward, as he is averaging 14.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game on 48 percent shooting from the floor and 36 percent shooting from deep.

Recently, we even talked about how Evan Fournier could even be a buy-low candidate the Boston Celtics should consider pursuing this season, as he would be a guy on an expiring contract who would only help aid in their floor spacing approach, while also giving them the luxury of experimenting with their lineups, as Fournier is big enough to play anywhere from the two to a small-ball four.

There are many suitable assets that could be had from the Orlando Magic and, with this, the Celtics should monitor them closely moving forward.
