Michael Saenz, Sir Charles in Charge
Count Saenz among those who are in favor of the Magic’s decision to stand pat at the trade deadline.
There just was not a deal to be had for the Magic, at the end of the day. Andrew Nicholson and Maurice Harkless could not net a decent return and Tobias Harris‘ value is completely unknown. He could get that big contract this summer or he could end up back on the Magic sitting on his qualifying offer to hit the open market in 2016 (honestly, he may want that to try to pounce as a sad consolation prize for those who miss out on Kevin Durant).
Still, Orlando needs to take that next step. It is slowly coming on the defensive end.
