NBA Trades: 3 Teams that should trade for Russell Westbrook

#2 Orlando Magic

Orlando Magic need someone to take them to the next level

The Orlando Magic have been looking for a superstar ever since Dwight Howard left in 2012. They have been rebuilding ever since but that rebuild has had no end until last season, where they reached the playoffs for the first time since 2011-12. A trade for Westbrook seems to make a lot of sense for the Orlando Magic.

They get a superstar point guard, both of which they have lacked for a long time now and can have a strong core around Nikola Vucevic and Aaron Gordon, making a big 3. They will have to give up a lot of draft capital and young player, both of which they have, to make this deal work as the Thunder will not let Westbrook go on the cheap.

Evan Fournier will cover the salary easily, but they will have to give up young talents like Mo Bamba and Jonathan Issac, along with draft picks for the Thunder to consider this deal. The Magic need to make a splash and this will move them out of the NBA middle-ground.

Final deal:

Oklahoma City Thunder get: Evan Fournier, DJ Augustin, Jonathan Issac, Mohamed Bamba, and 2 future first round draft picks

Orlando Magic get: Russell Westbrook
