The Magic selected Mo Bamba with the sixth overall pick of the 2018 draft, and the big was tipped to immediately become a key player in Orlando.

However, after the Magic failed to find a trade partner for Nikola Vucevic, Bamba was relegated to the bench, making just one start during his rookie season.

When on the court, Bamba struggled to make much of an impact, averaging just 6.2 points and 5.0 rebounds in 16.3 minutes per game.

Following the Magic's decision to sign Vucevic to a new four-year, $100 million contract, Bamba's situation also looks unlikely to improve anytime soon.

Evidently, the Magic have no long-term plans for the 7-foot-1 big man, and with his value only likely to decrease as time goes by, Orlando will be motivated to complete a trade before the end of the summer.
