Boston Celtics Receive: Nikola Vucevic

Orlando Magic Receive: Romeo Langford, Carsen Edwards, Daniel Theis, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2021 2nd Round Pick (via OKC)

Nikola Vucevic is one of the most underrated big men in the NBA. He would help the Boston Celtics tremendously over the course of the season and come playoff time. He has a skill-set that would provide needed balance to the team’s half-court offense.

If Nikola Vucevic is on the market, the Orlando Magic could get some key players back in exchange. Romeo Langford and Carsen Edwards are intriguing prospects that would benefit Orlando. They would also replace their big man with Daniel Theis down low. 

Some important context to consider, the Celtics would be using the $28.5M trade exception from the sign-and-trade deal with the Charlotte Hornets for Gordon Hayward.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this deal would benefit both the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic moving forward.
