Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic is expected to become available for trade throughout the rest of the offseason and the regular season, as the organization looks to shape the team in a different direction, according to Michael Scotto of The Athletic.

Vucevic reportedly doesn't fit the mold that this young front office wants for the team, hoping to give the bulk of the minutes to young rookie Mo Bamba, who has the length and versatility they desire.

The Magic's frontcourt now has a newly re-signed franchise player in Aaron Gordon, former Memphis Grizzlies forward Jarell Martin, and last year's rookie Jonathan Isaac, who spent a lot of the 2017-18 season in development.

“We haven’t been able to practice together yet, but I see myself as being able to space the floor and play a little more outside while Vucevic and Mo are on the inside; the same thing with AG,” Isaac said during the Las Vegas Summer League. “Just being able to space the floor and shoot the ball.”

Isaac's vision will likely have to take place as long as Vucevic, who is owed $12.75 million this season as the final year of his contract, is still on the roster.

The 27-year-old Vucevic still has plenty to offer, but recent injury woes have slowed him down from the double-double machine he was early in his career.

Still, 16.5 points and 9.2 rebounds per game are not shabby whatsoever. Throw in a career-high 3.4 assists per game and 82 percent from the foul line and it won't be long before a team comes calling.
