When Orlando took Mo Bamba with the sixth overall pick of the 2018 draft, they were actively looking to trade Nikola Vucevic to clear a starting spot for the Texas Longhorns product. However, Vucevic was not shipped out before the start of the 18-19 season, and the veteran went on to enjoy a career-year - earning a first All-Star appearance.

The Montenegrin has since signed a new four-year $100 million deal with the Magic, and Bamba's route to the first team has been blocked for the foreseeable future. However, possessing a 7 ft 10-in wingspan, Bamba remains highly rated around the league, and the 21-year-old holds plenty of value.

Ultimately, the Magic will be reluctant to lose yet another one of their lottery picks, however, Bamba's role will be limited in Orlando, and his departure could help flesh out other parts of the roster.
