Orlando Magic's Trade Partner Power Rankings

Seems like there's a lot of discussion on the Fanpost about possible trades for Magic veterans. I thought I would give you a ranking in my opinion of the most likely trade partners for the Magic.

When I handicapped the NBA landscape for Orlando Magic trade partners I weighed many factors such as potential Franchises that have a need to facilitate a three team trade, cap space, free agents aquired thus far, team fit and most importantly overall direction of the club.

Without further adieu here is my list in reverse order least likely to most likely.

29. Brooklyn Nets

28. Miami Heat

27. New York Knicks

26. Los Angles Clippers "teams all capped out up here"
