If magic were to sign and trade Vucevic and to match salary (and shed bad contracts) add Fournier (17M off the books in 2021) and Mozgov (17M off the books in 2020) in exchange for Capela and CP3, would you do it? Vucevic averaged 20, 12, and 4 and was an all star, and most importantly is young. We could then combine Fournier and mozgov’s contracts with draft picks around December and get an all star caliber player from a team that decides to start tanking. It makes sense for Orlando because 1. He’s going to walk anyways 2. They get a promising young center in Capela on a cheap contract and 3. They could sell some extra tickets based on CP3’s star power, but he also won’t ruin their chances at tanking. He’ll put on a show but still lose when it matters.
