Nikola Vucevic, Orlando Magic
Likeliness to get traded: 8/10
Nikola Vucevic is having a career year this season, averaging 20.5 points and 12 rebounds per game. He has actually quietly been having good seasons just about every year he has been in the league as well, with career averages of 15.3 points and 10 rebounds per game.
He has also added a 3-point shot to his game over the past two seasons. A big man who can score, rebound, and stretch the floor is very valuable in today’s NBA. The Magic are moving towards being more focused on the development of their younger core and with Vucevic turning 28 this season, and being in the final year of his contract, this makes him a very likely trade candidate.
There should be a high volume of interest in Vucevic, so look for him to be moved at the deadline.
Trade Idea: Lakers trade Kentavius Caldwell-Pope, Ivica Zubac, and a first-round pick to the Magic for Nikola Vucevic.
