Magic's Terrence Ross: Traded to Magic

Ross was traded Tuesday to the Magic, along with a 2017 first-round pick, in exchange for Serge Ibaka, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Analysis:

Ross was in the midst of one of his better seasons with the Raptors, averaging 10.4 points (on a career-best 44.1% shooting from the field) to go with 2.6 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.0 steal in 22.4 minutes per game. He'll give the Magic a much-needed perimeter threat and should be in store for a more sizable role than what he held down in Toronto as the team's sixth man. With Ibaka out of the picture, the Magic are apparently planning to reinstall Aaron Gordon as their starting power forward, according to Keith Smart of FanRag Sports, which will open up a starting role on the wing. Ross seems to be the leading candidate for those duties, as second-year player Mario Hezonja hasn't proven to be a capable shooter at the NBA level, while veteran Jeff Green is on the downside of his career.
