According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, there’s a belief around the NBA that Orlando is open to trading its No. 6 and No. 11 picks if the Magic can move up between No. 3 and No. 5 overall.
That could be relevant for Houston, which holds the No. 4 pick in the first round of the 2023 NBA draft. Houston also has a second first-round selection at No. 20 overall, which might further tempt the Magic to consider a swap, since they could still end up with the same quantity of first-round picks.
