Magic acquire Otto Porter from Chicago
The Orlando Magic are acquiring small forward Otto Porter from the Chicago Bulls.
What It Means:
Porter and Wendell Carter Jr. are heading to Orlando in exchange for Nikola Vucevic and other pieces. Multiple teams are reportedly interested in Porter if he winds up being bought out, but if not, then the former No. 3 overall pick should see an uptick in playing time with the Magic. Porter only played 18.7 minutes over his last nine contests for the Bulls.
Porter averaged 20.5 FanDuel points over 25 games for the Bulls this season. He's shooting 48.0 percent from the field for his career but just 44.2 percent over the last two seasons.
