Should Magic trade Aaron Gordon to Sixers for Dario Saric?

Who would win a Dario Saric-for-Aaron Gordon deal? Kim Klement/USA TODAY Sports

Don't read too much into the Orlando Magic's offseason planning whiteboard that was accidentally revealed Monday in a tweet sent by the agent of D-Leaguer Patricio Garino, whom the Magic signed to a contract. Every team is making similar plans this time of the year, and few of them will come to fruition because of the many variables involved in player movement.

Still, one element of the whiteboard is worth discussing for what it says about the players and teams involved. Under potential trade candidates for a "hybrid" forward, Orlando listed Philadelphia 76ers rookie Dario Saric with the note "for AG?" -- apparently referring to Magic forward Aaron Gordon.

Would swapping Gordon for Saric make sense for Orlando? And what is the value of the two players at this stage of their careers? Let's take a look.
