The Orlando Magic have been active in the trade market over the last couple of days, and with the trade deadline less than 20 hours away, there isn't much time to get a deal done. Players like Elfrid Payton, Mario Hezonja, and Nikola Vucevic have been involved in trade rumors, but the Magic's arguably most intriguing asset has reportedly always been available.
According to Keith Smith of Real GM, the Magic, who were reportedly looking at trading away Aaron Gordon, likely won't be able to find a trade partner for the fourth year forward out of Arizona.
Lots of buzz around Aaron Gordon, but Orlando is asking a high price. Seems unlikely he'll be moved before tomorrow, but things change quickly this time of year.

Gordon is currently dealing with a hip injury that's held him out since late January, and he's also pulled his name from the NBA Dunk Contest as he tries to prepare himself for the second half of the season.
Gordon has made incredible strides this season, averaging 18.4 oints, 8.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.9 steals, and 2.0 three-pointers per game on 44.7 percent shooting from the field and 34.6 percent from beyond the arc.
