Amid their 3-point shooting woes, the Orlando Magic are reportedly a dark horse to add Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson to their Paolo Banchero-led core.
As the Miami Heat take on the Orlando Magic on Monday night, all eyes will once again be on star Jimmy Butler as he has been the face of trade talks in the NBA. Butler had been serving a two-game suspension where he is now eligible to come back and play for the team before he is moved with the trade deadline nearing on Feb. 6.
