After years of struggling to establish himself as a key player in Toronto with the Raptors, Terrence Ross has exploded during his 18 months in Orlando. The 27-year-old is currently averaging 13.6 points and 3.1 rebounds per game while shooting .391 from beyond the arc. Nevertheless, Ross will become an unrestricted free agent this summer and due to this, the former University of Washington man is being linked with a trade to a fellow contender this month:

The Pelicans have shown interest in Orlando small forward Terrence Ross, who has had a career year, but is a free agent this summer and uncertain to re-sign with the Magic. Orlando has been reluctant to deal Ross as the team has been within range of a playoff spot, but four straight losses have left the Magic seven games under .500 and perhaps ready to give up the postseason dream and get back to the long-term rebuilding project.

While trading Ross could be shortsighted, the Magic may already have implications that the Ross won't resign with the team this summer. If this is the case, and Orlando are out of contention by the end of January, a trade looks incredibly likely.
