Trade 2: Vucevic to the Los Angeles Clippers

Orlando Magic Receive: Martin Gortat, Jawun Evans, 2019 second round draft pick

Los Angeles Clippers Receive: Nikola Vucevic

Why the Magic Would Do It: The return of Martin Gortat. Gortat could back up Bamba for one year, and then since he is only on a one year deal, the Magic could get rid of him the following offseason. Also, in the trade, the Magic get Jawun Evans a second-year point guard that the Magic can develop. Plus, they would get a 2019 second round draft pick.

Why the Clippers Would Do It: The Clippers are planning on competing this season while developing their young talent. Right now Gortat is starting at center, and Vucevic would be a massive upgrade. Vucevic next to Tobias Harris, Danilo Gallinari, Pat Beverley and Milos Teodosic can compete for a playoff spot. A better team with better talent can help draw star free agents next season.
