The Orlando Magic have been hinting at possible trades for the offseason after the team failed to make it out of the first round for a second consecutive season. One team that could make sense as a trade partner for the Magic is the Los Angeles Clippers,

They won 50 games. They had a top-five net rating. They coaxed an All-NBA-caliber effort out of James Harden, saw Kawhi Leonard return to a superstar level ( with the when-healthy caveat attached, as always) and watched both Ivica Zubac and Norman Powell perform at the highest levels of their careers.

The Clippers won Game 2 at Ball Arena 105-102, and twice in the Nikola Jokic era the Nuggets have succumbed in a Game 7 at home, against Portland in 2019 and against Minnesota last year when Denver blew a 20-point second-half lead.
