Magic's Apparent Offseason Trade Targets Leaked in Tweet
An unfortunate photo might have given away the Orlando Magic's offseason plans.
The Magic signed Argentine wing Patricio Garino Monday, which his representative Carlos Prunes commemorated in a Tweet showing the player signing his contract. The twist is that behind him in the photo is a whiteboard with a list of names.

The list includes numerous forwards the team could target either through free agency or a trade, including Paul Millsap and Andre Iguodala.
Perhaps the most interesting note could be the reference to Dario Saric, the Philadelphia 76ers forward who is a top contender for the Rookie of the Year award. After his name reads "for AG?," which could signal a trade involving Aaron Gordon.
While this is mostly speculation, the Magic probably would do well to take an aggressive approach like this in the offseason to improve the roster after missing the playoffs for the fifth straight season.
