TRADE: Suns And Magic Reportedly Agree To A Deal

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Orlando Magic and Phoenix Suns have made a trade.

The NBA offseason began 16 days ago, and many moves have been made all over the league.    

Trades, signings and rumors are a constant over this period.   

On Sunday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Orlando Magic and Phoenix Suns agreed to a deal.

Via Wojnarowski's first tweet: "And … The Suns are acquiring three future second-round picks from Orlando for a 2026 first-round picks swap, sources tell ESPN."

Via Wojnarowski's second tweet: "Across the next seven NBA drafts (2024-2030), Orlando has eight first-round picks and 12 second-rounders."

The Suns had a busy morning as they also reportedly traded Cameron Payne to the San Antonio Spurs (according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium) and agreed to a one-year deal with former Magic forward Bol Bol (according to Wojnarowski). 

They are coming off a season where they were the fourth seed in the Western Conference and lost to the Denver Nuggets in the second round of the NBA playoffs (in six games).  

That said, they also acquired three-time All-Star Bradley Beal in a trade with the Washington Wizards last month.   

The addition of Beal gives the Suns arguably the most talented core in the league that also features Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton. 

Once again the Suns are betting on themselves this time with the Orlando Magic.

Phoenix already owed a pick swap with Washington in 2026.

Phoenix 20

Orlando 25

The Magic would now have the 20th pick in the Draft and Phoenix 25th

Meanwhile, the Magic have been in rebuilding for several seasons, and last made the NBA playoffs in 2020. 

This past year, they were the 13th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 34-48 record, but they have a lot of young talent on the roster.
