Trade rumors to Orlando Magic's center Nikola Vucevic starts to swirl around the news as of late. As the Magic continue to slide down the standing, rumors are spreading that he is one of the potential players that could be dealt before the trade deadline. And it looks like the Boston Celtics have shown an interest of acquiring him.
The Celtics are one of the busiest team during the offseason and up until now it is no secret that they are still looking to beef up their lineup to make a push on the postseason. And as the February trade deadline is fast approaching, Celtics general manager Danny Ainge are said to be open for possible trade if that will make them a "contender".
On the other hand, the Magic appears to have another disappointing season again. After losing 7 of their last 10 games, they are now sitting at the 14th spot of the Eastern Conference division holding a 19-31 win-loss record. Recent reports are now saying that they could explore a trade deal in order to salvage their season while it is still early.
According to Basketball Insiders, the Orlando Magic is one of the teams to watch out for in the trade market before the trade deadline expires. They still hope that they could still turn around their fortunes this season and make it back to the playoffs. And trading some of their players might be the answer to their misery.
And it appears that Nikola Vucevic is said to be one player on the Magic's roster that is open for trade anytime. The team already have Bismack Biyombo protecting the middle and trading Vucevic could be a best option for them to try and get a valuable asset in return. And one potential destination for the 26-year old Montenegrin center is the Boston Celtics.
According to CBSSports, the Celtics are allegedly now talking to the Magic and asking about a possible trade involving Nikola Vucevic. Though there is still no clear deal between the two teams, having Vucevic will definitely boost up the frontcourt of the Celtics.
The report also says that the arrival of Vucevic could somehow solve the problem of Celtics in scoring and rebounding. Aside from that, he is still young and athletic that the Celtics can depend on him to toughen up their interior defense further more.
Will the Orlando Magic trade Nikola Vucevic to the Boston Celtics before the trade deadline ends?
