    Unwilling to take any option off the table, the Orlando Magic are entertaining the possibility of trading down in Thursday's NBA Draft.

    "I would say we've talked to at least a half-dozen teams about it," Magic general manager Rob Hennigan told the Orlando Sentinel. "So it's something we're definitely considering and weighing sincerely: potentially moving back."

    The Magic currently hold the fifth and 51st overall picks.

    Trading the fifth pick for a spot later in the first round could net the Magic a valuable veteran to add to their young nucleus — a young nucleus that desperately needs veteran help. The Magic's most significant positional need is at power forward, and it seems Texas' Myles Turner, UCLA's Kevon Looney, Arkansas' Bobby Portis and Kentucky's Trey Lyles all could be available at No. 10 or later.

    The Magic, of course, might be hoping to generate additional interest from other teams in acquiring the fifth pick. - See more at: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/spor...ando-magic-nba-draft-0623-20150622-story.html
