Which Magic player should be traded?

[jonathanlambert33]

With the trade deadline steadily approaching and the rumor mill continuing to churn, it remains to be seen if J.J. Redick or any other player for the Orlando Magic gets moved (if Glen Davis was healthy, his name would be listed below).

With the Magic (14-35) mired in a season-high 11-game losing streak and having lost 22 of their last 24 games, it should be no surprise that veterans on a rebuilding team are linked to trade rumors. Players like Redick are best served playing for a contender.

But which players for the Magic should be traded? Magic Basketball investigates.

Keep him or trade him: J.J. Redick

Nate Drexler: Keep him. Sure, he’s the most likely trade piece because every contender would love to have him. But how will that benefit Orlando? Redick is a staple in Orlando and the Magic aren’t going to be this bad forever. I would love to see him finish his career here.

Sean Highkin: Trade him. Redick has been the Magic’s best player this season by a considerable distance, but he’s in the final year of his contract and re-signing him will likely interfere with the rebuilding timeline Rob Hennigan has mapped out. There are plenty of teams who could use him and the Magic should be able to at least get a first round pick in return.

Noam Schiller: Trade him. Redick very well may be the team’s best player at the moment, but his deal is up this summer. If he’s not traded, the Magic could lose him for nothing. A team so early in the asset-gathering stage can’t afford that.

I really don't know how they should build their team :/ Howard's trade was horrible and it's gonna be really hard to recover from that ... Plus I find this years draft sucks

Yeah that team confuses me. Ryan Anderson is on a very reasonable 8M a year deal, but they didn't want to give him that because they're rebuilding. But they give Nelson like 8.3 a year? Makes no sense.
