NBA trade destinations for KP: Orlando Magic
I thought of this trade as a possible upgrade if Dallas aims to improve their roster at the deadline. The Mavericks, in this scenario, would be looking to bolster their roster by making a move for the Magic’s All-Star Nikola Vucevic.
Vucevic would be an instant upgrade over Porzingis and a perfect fit alongside Luka Doncic. Vucevic is having the best year of his career and averaging 24.5 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists. He is also is shooting a career-high 41 percent from 3 this season. Could Porzingis, another player, and a pick or two be enough to woo the Magic into a deal?
It will be interesting to see how the market develops for Porzingis in the coming weeks. Making a move for Porzingis would be labeled as a high-risk move for most teams. The multiple knee injuries and availability is concerning when making a deal of this caliber. Could Dallas find a trade partner for Porzingis?
It wouldn’t be easy, but it can be done. Will Dallas move Porzingis? Tough to tell right now, but trades that make the news like this usually doesn’t come to fruition.
