The Orlando Magic are looking to deal away some of their young assets.

The Magic are ready and willing to part with swingman Maurice Harkless, reports Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today. 

Harkless was drafted 15th overall in 2012 by the Magic. The 21-year-old had a strong showing in his rookie season, averaging 8.2 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, but has seen his minutes dwindle steadily over the past three years.

Harkless is currently averaging just 3.4 points and 1.9 rebounds in 13.8 minutes per game. 

He represents a buy-low candidate, as the hyper-athletic wing could potentially develop into a useful 3-and-D type wing. It's worth noting that Harkless connected on a respectable 38.3 percent of his 3-point tries last season.
