Copyright belongs to the NBA

Terrence Ross of the Orlando Magic is one of the many players that are coveted across the league as of late. On the season Ross is averaging a career low 8.1 points per game on the following shooting splits:  40.6% field goal and 35.4% from downtown in just 23.6 minutes of play. Ross’ role over the years have diminished as the Magic are transitioning towards a more youthful club with their star players such as Paolo Banchero (20 years old )and Franz Wagner (21 years old) just to name a few. 

According to Yahoo, the asking price for Ross’ service may be steep considering his current averages.

“Terrence Ross has long garnered interest from the Los Angeles Lakers, sources said. New York was in pursuit of Ross in previous years, as well. Yet, while Orlando has rebuffed offers below a first-round pick for the veteran swingman in recent seasons, sources said, it’s difficult to foresee a playoff contender sacrificing more than a single second-round selection for Ross’ services.”

As aforementioned, in the quote above the teams that have interest in the veteran wing include the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks who are in dire need of sharpshooters, as they both rank in the bottom six in three point shooting. Ross to the Lakers will surely improve his current percentage as well as the teams’ simply due to the fact that LeBron will provide him with much more open looks.
