The Orlando Magic’s recent signing of former Hornets and Raptors big man, Bismack Biyombo,has left them with a logjam in the front-court. With all four of Serge Ibaka, Aaron Gordon, Biyombo, and Nikola Vucevic, the Magic are certain to have a difficult time finding minutes for each. This is exactly the type of scenario Charlotte Hornets’ front office should be salivating over.
Not only is it now possible to make a move for the very talented Vucevic, but the asking price will be significantly lowered because of the Magic’s lack of leverage. By signing Biyombo, the front office for Orlando has made it clear that Vucevic is not the unquestionable starter, as new Head Coach Frank Vogel has always preferred more defensive-minded big men.
