Raptors, Magic Make Trade Offers To Cavaliers For No. 3

Jul 22, 2021 10:59 AM

The Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic have made offers to the Cleveland Cavaliers to move up to No. 3, sources tell The Ringer.

The Cavaliers have received significant trade interest in the pick in general.

While this draft began as having a top-5, Jalen Suggs and Jonathan Kuminga have appeared to drop out of what is a top-3 in Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green and Evan Mobley.

The Magic own picks No. 5 and No. 8, while the Raptors are at No. 4.

If the Raptors stay at No. 4, sources tell The Ringer that Suggs isn't a lock and that they will also consider Scottie Barnes.

Magic Like Scottie Barnes At No. 5, Thunder Prefer Barnes Or James Bouknight At No. 6

Jul 16, 2021 11:32 AM

The Orlando Magic are believed to be high on Scottie Barnes with the fifth pick, while the Oklahoma City Thunder prefer Barnes or James Bouknight at No. 6.

For weeks, Jonathan Kuminga was mentioned in the group of top-5 prospects in the draft but he has been "scarcely mentioned" as a possibility for either the Magic or Thunder at five and six.

Kuminga spent last season in the G League with the Ignite. While he's considered a prospect with considerable upside, he is further away from contributing in the NBA.
