Was the Magic’s interest in Dario Saric, among many other NBA players, revealed in a photo on Sunday?
Either way, the Sixers have not discussed trading Saric with the Magic or any other NBA teams, according to a source.
In a picture of Patricio Garino’s signing his contract, a very detailed whiteboard can be seen in the background. It lists what could targets of the Magic.
Saric is listed in the “Hybrid Trade” column. Next to his name, the board appears to say (For AG?), likely referencing Aaron Gordon.
It’s no surprise Saric is on another team’s wish list, if this is the case. He has become a frontrunner for Rookie of the Year, and has won the monthly award in February and March. This past month, Saric averaged 18.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 31.7 minutes over 17 games.
The Magic actually drafted Saric 12th overall in 2014, but traded him to the Sixers for 10th pick Elfrid Payton and future picks.
