Pulling off a deal for Kevin Durant would be very tough for the Orlando Magic. However, anything is possible and the Magic might be able to compose a deal worthy of Durant.

Aaron Gordon is having a great under-the-radar season. At only 23 years of age, Gordon is putting up 15.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists a game. His development has been rapid as he has taken his 3-point shooting to new levels each season. Right now, Gordon is shooting a career-high 36.1 percent from beyond the arc, nearly 10 percent higher than his rookie season.

Meanwhile, Evan Fournier and Johnothan Simmons have been solid as well. Fournier is putting up 14.9 points per game and is a streaky but effective shooter. In contrast, Simmons is an athletic monster that can pull off incredible feats in the air. He is a dual-threat with the talent to defend and score at a productive level.

Toss in a 2020 first round pick and the Warriors have been offered enough to consider this a real deal.
