Nikola Vucevic

One way or another, Nikola Vucevic and the Orlando Magic are nearing the end of their time together. This parting of the ways, so to speak, could happen organically. Vucevic is entering the last year of deal and will almost certainly leave as a free agent if he remains in Orlando for the entire season. [...]

My how the center position has changed in the NBA in the last few years. What was once like seeing a solar eclipse, an NBA center shooting a three-pointer, is now encouraged, expected and in some cases demanded by many teams of their centers across the NBA. I am not exactly sure when the trend [...]

Nothing has changed for the Orlando Magic. They are still the NBA’s wildest roller coaster, still trying to trade for a wing, and still attempting to move Nikola Vucevic to make that happen. From ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: Orlando, according to league sources, remains focused on acquiring a proven scorer on the wing before the Feb. [...]

The Orlando Magic seemed to have a patient and well-defined rebuilding plan after finally deciding to trade an unhappy Dwight Howard in the summer of 2012. Using draft picks and their currents assets, they drafted or acquired Nikola Vucevic (in the Howard trade), Tobias Harris, Evan Fournier, Aaron Gordon, Victor Oladipo and Elfrid Payton to [...]

It’s going to be a busy month-and-a-half for the Orlando Magic. Three games under .500, with an inconsistent defense, Orlando will be one of the most active teams leading into the February trade deadline. And every remaining member from last year’s core is available, with the exception of Aaron Gordon, according to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: [...]

The Magic have finally done what pretty much everyone eventually expected them to do: Move Nikola Vucevic to the bench. And he isn’t happy about it.

After trading for Serge Ibaka, then signing Bismack Biyombo and Jeff Green to big-money deals, you’d think the Orlando Magic would be gearing up for a Nikola Vucevic trade. They aren’t. Not even when they know Aaron Gordon probably isn’t the best fit at small forward? Not even then. From ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe: The potential [...]

When the Orlando Magic hired head coach Scott Skiles over the summer, it was under the guise that he would try to win as many games as possible, as soon as possible. The Magic have responded by putting themselves on pace to nearly double last season’s win total and flirting with a playoff birth. They [...]

Draft season rumor-mill frenzy sequence, Take 1,268. The Los Angeles Lakers, owners of the No. 2 pick in Thursday’s NBA draft, are trying to poach DeMarcus Cousins from the Sacramento Kings. No, seriously. They are. From ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: The Los Angeles Lakers have emerged as one of the most determined trade suitors for Sacramento [...]

The resurgence of Pau Gasol with the Chicago Bulls has certainly been fun and impressive to see, especially, when he dominated the Bucks by finishing the game with a career-high of 46 points and 18 rebounds just a few short nights ago. But on Monday night against the Magic, Gasol found himself at the wrong [...]
