After the Orlando Magic made the postseason in 2019 and 2020, they made a massive trade the following season, which is now one of the most lopsided deals in recent memory. At the 2021 deadline, the Magic sent Aaron Gordon, Evan Fournier, and Nikola Vucevic packing, which put Orlando into a complete rebuild. In the most lopsided deal, the Chicago Bulls received Nikola Vucevic and Al-Forouq Aminu from the Magic in exchange for Otto Porter Jr., Wendell Carter Jr., and first-round picks in 2021 and 2023.

Four years later, this is a trade that benefited the Magic significantly more and has now set this organization up for long-term success.
