Deadline day has arrived.
We’ve spent the last few trade deadlines questioning whether it was finally the year the Orlando Magic would break up their longtime core of Aaron Gordon, Nikola Vucevic and Evan Fournier — the faces of the franchise during what has been the most frustrating stretch of basketball in Magic history.
And yet, when the deadline passed, all were still in pinstripes.
That could change, and most likely will change, over the next few hours, making Wednesday’s win over the Suns the end of an era.
We gathered some reading material in preparation of the trade deadline here, and we will use this space to provide updates and rumors leading up to the 3 p.m. deadline.
Join the conversation below during what will be a very important day for the Magic front office...

10:36 a.m. - Nikola Vucevic is still in play, but it’s going to take a lot to pry him away, as it should. Voochc, particularly with his ever-evolving skill set, can still fit into the timeline of a quick reset with a healthy Markelle Fultz and Jonathan Isaac.
Sources: Orlando continues to listen to offers on All-Star Nikola Vucevic, but it would take a substantial package to pry him. As the Magic drill down on Aaron Gordon trades, an additional move w/ Vucevic for assets would set franchise toward more substantial long-term retooling.
