Magic Rumor: Insiders urge Orlando to pursue scoring defenders Poole and Sex

According to an article written by David Yapkovitz, a reporter from US sports media ClutchPoints. NBA insider Matt Moore suggests that the Magic should seek these potential deals after they are out of the playoffs.

Magic were eliminated from the NBA playoffs after losing to the Boston Celtics 120-89. As the Magic continues to try to climb in the Eastern Conference, some believe the Magic need a steady shooting guard. There is a famous NBA media voice that suggests that the Magic should make two trades after they are out of the playoffs. Matt Moore, who has long spoken for NBA media, talked about the Magic’s need for a real shooting guard in his recent column and suggested that the Magic should target Poole and Cossexton in a trade after the playoffs were out “They need to take risks on someone. I’m speculating that the two names would be Poole and Sexton,” Moore wrote. "Poole is actually the second most efficient scorer of dribbling this season, at least contributing to teams with postseason experience. But these guys aren't that easy for grabbing the ball from Wagner and Bancero. That's why the Magic's challenge will be pretty serious this summer.

Moore admitted that the Magic shouldn't seek to add a player who would take shots and use from their star players Bancero and Wagner. That's why he suggested people like Trae Young wouldn't work, despite Yang's obvious talent and what he would bring to the Magic. While Poole and Sexton could be elite scoring geniuses, neither player would need Bancero and Wagner to reduce use. According to Spotrac, Sexton currently has a season with the Utah Jazz contract, which costs slightly more than $19 million, and then he's in the process of his time in the process of his contract with the Utah Jazz, according to Spotrac. Become an unrestricted free agent in 2026. Before becoming a free agent in 2027, Poole's current contract has two seasons left, worth $310-34 million per year.

As you can imagine, any player can solve the Magic's dilemma of shooting guard. Poole averaged 20.5 points per game, shot 43.2% from the field and shot 37.8% from the three-point line. Sexton averaged 18.4 points per game, shot 48% from the field and shot 40.6% from the three-point line. Who do you think the two candidates given by the NBA internal personnel are more suitable for the Magic?
