Report: Magic Trade Nikola Vucevic to Bulls for Wendell Carter Jr., Draft Picks

The Bulls acquired center Nikola Vucevic in a trade with the Magic on Thursday, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Chicago will send forwards Otto Porter and Wendell Carter Jr. to Orlando along with first-round picks in 2021 and 2023, per Wojnarowski. Forward Al Farouq Aminu will also go to Chicago in Thursday's deal.

Vucevic, 30, is in the midst of a career-best season in 2020-21. He is averaging 24.5 points and 11.8 rebounds per game, shooting 40.6 percent from three in the process. Vucevic is a two-time All-Star in 10 NBA seasons.

Carter has struggled in 2020-21, though he's previously shown promise as a young frontcourt piece in Chicago.
