Magic Trade Franz Wagner for Michael Porter Jr.
The Magic could swap Franz Wagner to Brooklyn for Michael Porter Jr., two first-round picks and two second-rounders in this trade idea. Orlando needs more shooting after finishing 24th in made threes and 27th in three-point percentage, and Porter brings a career 39.8 percent mark from deep. Brooklyn would bet on Wagner as a long-term piece next to Egor Dëmin and Mikel Brown Jr. Wagner is 25 and signed through 2029-30, while Porter is 28 on an expiring deal. The Nets would be giving up picks, but they'd get a two-way wing who could fit their young core.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
Franz Wagner stays in Orlando through the Feb. 11 trade deadline, and the Magic make a smaller move for shooting instead.
