The Celtics and Hornets are among teams interested in Magic two-time All-Star Nikola Vucevic

I can't read the article but Shams is quoted saying we have inquired about Vucevic.. he has 3 years of his $26m deal left.. that is a solid deal but not cheap.. we would really have to question what we would give up..

Ball, Hayward & Rozier are the untouchables on our roster - right?
Bridges, Monk, PJ and Graham are the ones you DON'T want to include in a trade unless the right deal comes along.
Zeller is really the only 'large' contract of value. Also, I would have never thought about adding our 1st round pick in any deal until the past month. For a player of Vucevic's caliber, we would most certainly have to include it.

Would you be willing to give up Zeller, PJ & Martin + (Top 10 protected) 1st round pick = Vucevic ??


If not, here are some more affordable Big Men I'm interested in are:
Whiteside, SAC: $1.6 - 1 yr
McGee, CLE: $4.2 - 1 yr
Plumplee, DET: $8 - 3 yr
Ed Davis, MIN: $5 - 1 yr

Yeah, no way to PJ. I don't think you give up Miles just because his chemistry with Melo. Devonte is nice and I love him but he's somewhat redundant with Melo as the PG and you can sell high on Devonte. Not bad for a 2nd round pick. The first rounder is honestly not a big deal to me. Normally, I hate it, but I really don't see many guys in the draft that have even a decent chance of being an upgrade over anyone on the team currently. 

 

Honestly, that could be a really good team. I don't LOVE Vucevic because of his defensive limitations but he's still a big upgrade offensively over what we have now.

from the article...

 

The Celtics and Hornets are among teams interested in Magic two-time All-Star Nikola Vucevic, sources said. Rival teams expect that any haul for Vucevic would have to be massive. The 7-foot big man is having his best NBA season, averaging 24.5 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists while shooting 41.8 percent from 3-point range. Vucevic has spent nine of his 10 NBA seasons in Orlando.

Fairly steep price but Zeller, Bridges, Graham and next years first probably gets it done.  The big loss there is Bridges IMO and not the first as that is probably a non lotto pick.

Probably weren’t resigning Zeller and maybe couldn't afford Graham either.

Still lots to give up but Vucevic is one of the best bigs in the NBA.

Zeller, Graham, and picks are all I'm willing  to offer.  PJ if absolutely necessary.  

Melo, Rozier, Hayward, and Miles are my untouchables.

100%

Hell, throw in Richards.

Zeller+Graham+Richards+2021 unprotected+2023 unprotected.

Let's do it!!

We just really need a front court and we're not getting Mobley.  The rest of the draft sucks at the 4 & 5.

And I think our small ball lineups are legit so we really just need a 24 min+ 5 that can maybe stretch.

Rim protection+shooting (but 3s aren't a must).  Vuc would be dope.

Wood would've been dope.

Still think Bagley is an offseason target.

It's a big void that we could really catapult ourselves into a top-4 east team with the right guy.

A big man will be available this summer...

I doubted that statement and looked at the FA big men pool next year.. the market looks open but most are restricted, meaning we will have to throw a bag of $$$ and hope the other team won't match. The remaining FA big men won't really move the needle for us but I bolded a few options that could be had at a decent price:

Andre Drummond
John Collins (restricted) – $$$
Lamarcus Aldridge
Harrell (Player Option)
Ibaka (Player Option)
Jarrett Allen (restriced) – $$$
Tristan Thompson (Player Option)
Lauri Markkanen (restriced) – $$$
PJ Tucker
Paul Millsap
Richaun Holmes
Hasan Whiteside
Mitchell Robison (Team Option)
Cody Zeller
Enes Kanter
Kelly Olynyk
Bobby Portis (Player Option)
Nerlens Noel
JaVale McGee
Dwight Howard
Boban – U RANG!!!
Zach Collins (restriced) – $$$

What's worse is we HAD Christian Wood back in 2016-2017. Had him on a 2 year deal at $944K a year. The second year was a team option but we let him go because Clifford didn't think he could contribute. He could've been here and part of the young core for the past several years.

      Yes, but those guys aren't depth guard signings, they're likely going to wait and see who has injuries or players under performing and then sign there. I also think that if Ickey really is going to be able to play at some point this year, that's where our guard depth comes from.  As if he gets to the point of being active, we'd then have 3 LT's on the roster with him, Freeling, and Walker, gotta think one of them not named Freeling gets kicked inside if needed.

      lol imagine being Hill and this is what your coach thinks about you replacing a guy giving up over 4 goals per game.

      I don't think Tyreek is a bad player to play with on the field, for sure not in the same way that Diggs is, as he's a cancer on the field with how he acts, and wouldn't take kindly to being 2nd fiddle behind T-Mac. It's that Tyreek is just a terrible person who realistically shouldn't even be in the NFL, his insane athletic ability is why his off field transgressions have been overlooked.  If he was a WR3, no team would have kept him around, it was only that he was a 1st ballot HOF level talent that kept him around. Just zero interest in having a person like that around our young WRs, that's really all it comes down to for me with him. Again, if we were true contenders this year, that changes things and I'd rather bring in the best possible players and hope it works out.  But they're trying to build something here and to do that, you need high quality people, not just great talent.
