NBA Trade Rumours: Orlando Magic eyeing move for DeMar DeRozan

If DeRozan chooses to leave in 2020 as a free agent, Spurs will get nothing in return. Their best option is to trade him at the deadline. According to certain NBA sources, Orlando have already made their interest in DeRozan known. Orlando are currently scoring fewer points per possession, and DeRozan's addition to the team will help improve the team's offence. However, nothing can be said for certain as the Spurs or DeRozan are yet to comment on the topic. DeRozan is currently averaging at 20.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game. He scored his season-high 29 points against the LA Clippers on November 1. He shot 51.2 % from the field and made 77% of his free throws.
