(1/2) On the final possession of the 3rd quarter, the Wizards sent a second defender on Terrence Ross (Raul Neto, joining Kyle Kuzma). That’s going to have to be the tactic the Wizards employ most of the remainder of the game. Ross is demolishing them, making 11 of 14 shots. – 7:49 PM

More on this storyline
Michael Scotto: Last season, executives I spoke to said the Magic were hoping to get multiple first-round picks for Ross. Now? That number appears to have whittled down to one first-round pick. Some executives have told me they’d consider maybe trading two second-round picks to try and get Ross. I’m not sure that’s going to move the needle for Orlando. -via HoopsHype / December 15, 2021
The Magic have sought draft capital — such as a first-round pick — in talks for veteran swingman Terrence Ross, sources said. -via The Athletic / December 13, 2021
“He’ll be moved,” as one NBA executive told HoopsHype confidently. “They were trying to move him at the draft. They wanted to put him in a place where he could win. I think he’s worth a couple of second-round picks.” According to another executive who spoke with HoopsHype, Orlando previously hoped to acquire at least one first-round pick intrade discussions for Ross last season. -via HoopsHype / October 24, 2021
