Nikola Vucevic’s priority was to extend at Magic, and it will be done in a few hours as the All-Star interior will accept a 100 million contract over four years.
We are far from the maximum (190 million over five years) but the great friend of Evan Fournier never made money a priority, and he especially wanted to find the right compromise between his personal comfort, the sporting aspect and a very good contract. Young dad, he doubles his salary in a team that has found the playoffs. Everything is there!
Having become an All-Star this season after seven seasons in Florida, the Montenegrin was on the shelves of a few franchises who were hoping he didn’t get along with his leaders.
As Nikola Vucevic will not receive the maximum salary, the Magic will quickly be able to focus on extending the contract of Terrence Ross, the other main free agent of the franchise.
Vucevic helped lead the Magic to the postseason last season, an All-Star campaign in which he averaged 20.8 points and 12 rebounds per game. He’s been a core part of Orlando’s franchise over the past seven years, and now Magic retain him. https://t.co/B75MxA8xXq
