The Mavericks need rebounding but Nikola Vucevic may not be worth the cap space

Nikola Vucevic brought on a resurgence in Orlando this past season. The Magic went six seasons without an All-Star or a playoff berth until Vucevic helped deliver both this past season.

His fit with Porzingis in Dallas makes sense in theory, but his price tag might make the Mavericks shift their focus elsewhere.

At 7’ 260 lb., Vucevic is the model of a sturdy center who does work in the post and cleans the glass well. For his career, Vucevic averages 10.1 rebounds per game and last year that number went up to 12 — a new career high.
