The
NBA
lives this Thursday the closing of its transfer market, an afternoon that is always accompanied by dozens of movements and last minute surprises.
For now, and waiting for a possible change of scenery from
Ricky Rubio
, the starring franchise of the day is being
Orlando Magic
.
After a rather uneven course, the Florida organization has decided to start a rebuild and has sought out its three main stars:
Nikola Vucevic, Evan Fournier and Aaron Gordon.
Vucevic, a
30-year-old All-Star center
, is a new player for the
Chicago Bulls
.
Those from Illinois are in the heat of fighting to enter the Playoffs and have given in exchange the young
Wendell Cartel and Otto Porter
and two first rounds of 2021 and 2023, according to journalist Adrian Wojnarowski, of
ESPN
.
French guard
Fournier
, 28, arrives at the
Boston Celtics
, one of the main contenders for the Eastern Conference.
In return, the team led by Brad Stevens sends Orlando
two second rounds
.
Aaron Gordon
, 25, will now play for the Denver Nuggets, where he will team up with
Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr
, as well as former Real Madrid player
Facundo Campazzo
.
The Nuggets, a Western Conference favorite, have sent Gary Harris, RJ Hampton and a first-round pick to Orlando.
Guard
Norman Powell
, an important player for the
Toronto Raptors
, has been traded to the
Portland Trail Blazers
, also candidates for the West, in exchange for
Gary Trent and Rodney Hood
.
The
Philadelphia 76ers
have landed veteran point guard George Hill from the
Thunder
, who in return receive youngsters
Tony Bradley and Terrance Ferguson
(who are immediately sent to the Knicks) and two second draft picks.
Additionally,
Austin Rivers
also comes to Oklahoma City.
The
Miami Heat
, finalists from last season, have acquired the services of power forward
Nemanja Bjelica
, owned by the Sacramento Kings.
Instead, the Florida franchise sends Moe Harkless and Chris Silva to California.
The
Washington Wizards
, who could market stars
Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook
, have started the afternoon
by
trading
their young
Troy Brown and Mo Wagner
to Chicago for
Daniel Gafford and Chandler Hutchinson
.
