The Orlando Magic have made Mo Bamba, Gary Harris, Terrence Ross, and RJ Hampton available in trade discussions, sources told Marc Stein of Substack.

Stein adds that Ross could be a buyout candidate should the Magic fail to find a trade.

The Magic have been increasingly linked with a deal for Fred VanVleet as they look for a point guard to develop alongside their young talent. 

Fred VanVleet is expected to hire Klutch as his new representation ahead of his potential upcoming free agency, sources told Marc Stein of Substack.

VanVleet recently parted ways with his old agent.

The point guard has been the subject of several trade rumors, with the Magic increasingly mentioned as a possible destination.  

Fred VanVleet is drawing trade interest from several teams, including the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, Washington Wizards, and Orlando Magic, sources told Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report.

The Magic are reportedly looking to bring in a point guard for the long term to develop next to their young talent, which assumes that VanVleet would re-sign with the team should he get traded.

VanVleet is widely expected to opt out of his player option this summer.  

Mo Bamba is "readily available in a trade" by the Orlando Magic leading to the deadline, sources tell Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer.

Bamba re-signed with the Magic this past offseason on a two-year, $21 million deal. 

Bamba has appeared in 37 games this season with the Magic, averaging 7.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 17.4 minutes.

The Los Angeles Clippers are known to be on the market for depth at center. 

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac last played in an NBA game on August 2nd, 2020 in the bubble at Walt Disney World. That day, Isaac tore the ACL in his left knee. After a year-plus of rehab, Isaac suffered a setback with a serious hamstring injury.

Those two injuries have cost Isaac the last two full NBA seasons and over half of this season. Now, two-and-a-half years after his initial injury, the Magic expect Isaac to return to the NBA court on Monday vs the Boston Celtics.

Isaac recently appeared in three games for the Lakeland Magic of the G League. Isaac was productive, by scoring 15.7 points in 17.7 minutes per game. More importantly, Isaac looked good physically and made it out of the three contests with no physical issues.

Fred VanVleet has refused to address his contract status with the Toronto Raptors beyond saying “I’m completely focused on his team. My loyalty is to this team and to this franchise and trying to get us back to the level that we’re accustomed to around here.” However, with a player option for next season, VanVleet's potential pending free agency will remain a source of speculation.

The Phoenix Suns and Orlando Magic have emerged as potential teams that could pursue the veteran point guard in free agency. Orlando is expected to have north of $30 million in cap space this offseason. Phoenix would likely have to work a sign-and-trade or a deal where VanVleet opts in and is traded.

VanVleet projects to be one of the better free agents available, and one of the better point guard options. The soon-to-be 29-year-old signed a four-year, $83 million deal to remain with Toronto in 2020. VanVleet's option for next season is worth $22.8 million, but he's expected to opt out for a long-term deal as he heads into his early-30s.

Jonathan Isaac admitted he was tired after his first real game in two-and-a-half years. But Isaac also wanted to make sure everyone knew he could still play, after playing 14 minutes for the Lakeland Magic of the G League.

“I definitely can still hoop, but it’s going to take me a little time to get my legs under me,” Isaac said. “Going through those 3-4-minute bouts got me tired. I just want to keep pushing my conditioning and get to the place I feel really comfortable.”

Isaac scored 15 points and grabbed five rebounds in Lakeland's victory over the Westchester Knicks. This was his first official action since suffering multiple knee injuries on August 2, 2020 while playing in the NBA bubble at Walt Disney World.

Jonathan Isaac will play for the Lakeland Magic of the G League on Wednesday as he continues his return.

Isaac hasn't played since August 2020 in the bubble when he tore his ACL.

Jonathan Isaac fully participated in a pair of practices with the Orlando Magic this week, but there is no timetable for when he will return to game action.

Isaac hasn't played since August of 2020.

Isaac played five-on-five against other basketball players for the first time since tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on Dec. 6th.

But Isaac said Monday was his first time playing five-on-five with his Orlando teammates as part of a practice.

“Definitely a hurdle that was just like relief,” Isaac added after Wednesday morning’s shootaround. “As practice was coming to a close I’m just like ‘yes’. I took another step forward and want to keep doing that.”

Isaac had just recovered from a major left knee injury in January 2020 before tearing a ligament during the league’s restart.
