Vucevic has done nearly everything in his power to make himself as attractive as possible to contenders, either ahead of the February 7 trade deadline or this summer, when he hits unrestricted free agency for the first time. Despite Vucevic being the only thing keeping Orlando from turning into a dumpster fire, the issue with acquiring him might not be Orlando’s asking price.
Most of the contending teams around the league already have plenty of depth at center, so a move this month is going to depend on how much a team wants Vucevic.
Ultimately, if a team offers the Magic a good package, then it would make sense for the team to trade Vucevic.
