Orlando Magic have shown interest in Dennis Smith Jr.

The report suggests the fourth-year guard could be included in a larger package that saw the Knicks swap eighth overall pick for Orlando’s fifteenth pick. Of course, if New York were to give up both a higher draft pick and a young player, it would need to receive additional compensation from Orlando. The Magic also have the 45th pick in the draft.

SNY reported this week that Smith Jr. arrived in New York “weeks before individual training” to gain additional attention from the new coaching staff.
