There are certain teams that should look to move some assets at the NBA trade deadline. This is where both the Orlando Magic and Minnesota Timberwolves stand in the second half of the season. This is a potential deal that could move some veteran players around.

Both Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier have missed about half the season as well. This has caused the Magic to become one of the worst teams in the East this season. They are in a position to be sellers but this deal would not be that.
The Timberwolves are another team down near the bottom of their conference. This is the reason we have seen some big names like Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell in trade rumors since the offseason.
