Philadelphia 76ers Receive: Evan Fournier

Orlando Magic Receive: Danny Green, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2021 2nd Round Pick (via NYK)

Evan Fournier is owed $17 million this season in the final year of his contract. He is a prime candidate to be dealt because of this. The Magic need to make some moves and this is a chance to dump an expiring contract. He would give the 76ers another offensive weapon.

The return would begin with Danny Green. He is another short-term option that would go to Orlando and is cheaper than Fournier. The Magic would also get a pair of draft picks in this year’s draft.

Let’s take a look at how this deal would benefit both sides right away this season.
