#1 Terrence Ross

Orlando Magic v Philadelphia 76ers

After spending five years with the Toronto Raptors, Ross, alongside a first-round pick, was traded to the Magic back in 2017 in exchange for Serge Ibaka. Nevertheless, the 27-year-old is enjoying the best form of his career in a Magic uniform, and the Pelicans reportedly want to acquire the in-form Ross:

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.

Ross is currently averaging 13.6 points and 3.1 rebounds per game while shooting .391 from beyond the arc. Ross will evidently add both range and energy to the Pelicans offence, and the Orlando man could significantly improve New Orleans playoff push
