Overview
- The Orlando Magic are in discussions to trade for Kyle Lowry, who was recently acquired by the Charlotte Hornets from the Miami Heat.
- Lowry, a six-time All-Star, has not played for the Hornets since the trade and could be moved again before the NBA trade deadline.
- The Magic are also showing interest in Golden State Warriors point guard Chris Paul as they seek long-term solutions at the position.
- If no trade materializes, Lowry could be a candidate for a buyout, making him an unrestricted free agent with the Magic among interested teams.
- The Magic's pursuit of Lowry reflects their ambition to strengthen their playoff position, as they currently hold the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference.
