The NBA trade rumors are in full swing as some teams try to shake up their roster after disappointing starts.
Two of those teams are the Orlando Magic and the Houston Rockets. Starting with the Magic, they are doing quite well considering how young their core is.
According to Basketball Insider's Steve Kyler, the Magic would like to move Frye to give sophomore Aaron Gordon more time at the frontcourt, alongside Tobias Harris and Nikola Vucevic. The young man offers plenty of upside that the Magic would definitely want to see in the near future.
"Orlando faces some choices. While a ballooning salary cap will allow them to retain anyone they'd like to keep long-term, the question becomes: is one of these promising pieces that are part of the log-jam more valuable in trade than as a long-term piece?" he wrote.
"The Magic have yet to find a meaningful role for forward Aaron Gordon, and as the young guys start to require more time can a team that's focused on winning now manage the need for young guys to grow and blossom while at the same time keeping the players that can truly win games on the floor?"
Meanwhile, the Rockets are looking for more veteran presence that can turn their standing around after a 10-11 start. They see that in Phoenix Suns' forward Markieff Morris in exchange for Terrence Jones according to ESPN.com's Marc Stein.
"Sources told ESPN.com the Rockets are in the market for roster upgrades in the wake of their disappointing 10-11 start and have Morris on their list of targets, amid a growing belief around the league that the Suns are indeed prepared to finally move Morris," he wrote.
"The [Phoenix] Suns initially rebuffed Morris' summer-long quest to be dealt, with both sides pledging to try to find common ground at the start of training camp. But Morris received a DNP-Coach's Decision on Sunday, when the Suns lost 95-93 in Memphis, which will undoubtedly signal to interested teams that Morris can be had."
