The Bulls had been looking at Orlando big man Nikola Vucevic for weeks, according to a source, but the two teams couldn’t find common ground.
Thursday morning it was found.
The Sun-Times can confirm that the Bulls sent Wendell Carter Jr. and Otto Porter Jr. to the Magic, as well as multiple picks, for the All-Star center. ESPN reported that the draft picks are two first-rounders. The Bulls also acquired forward Al-Farouq Aminu in the deal.
Vucevic is averaging 24.5 points, 11.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 44 games for the Magic this season. He scored 16.
