Terrence Ross – Orlando Magic
So far this season, the Orlando Magic have really struggled because of all of the injuries this organization has faced. Both of their point guards in Cole Anthony and Markelle Fultz have gone down with injuries, Johnathan Isaac is out with a torn ACL and Aaron Gordon is still sidelined with an ankle injury. As a result Nikola Vucevic has put together an All-Star resume, but Terrence Ross has turned himself into a highly sought out trade target around the league.
Since joining the Orlando Magic during the 2016-17 season, Terrence Ross has been a very reliable role player for them and has consistently been one of the better bench players in the entire league. This season, Ross is very much in the running for the Sixth Man of the Year award and could make a huge difference for the Bucks off-the-bench.
Ross is currently averaging 15.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and is shooting 41% from the floor. His shooting numbers are not what they should be, but that is because almost half of this Magic team is injured and they have nobody else they can depend on for production.

Not only could Ross join the Bucks and be their best player off-the-bench, but he could be a reliable fourth scoring option for them outside of Giannis, Middleton and Holiday. This would be a major upgrade for Milwaukee and would give them even more offensive firepower to compete for a championship.
With Orlando struggling this year, they could be more willing than ever to trade the veteran guard and for some young talents and draft picks, Ross could definitely be traded to Milwaukee. Terrence Ross is owed $37.5M through the 2022-23 season, tying the Bucks to him long-term, but he is definitely the high-impact, under-the-radar trade target this organization could really use to potentially win a championship this year.
