Vucevic had a career year for the Magic, and made his first All-Star appearance. It will be a tough market for centers next summer, so I'm not expecting a massive contract for Vucevic. The Magic could have a tough decision to make, as they may be choosing between overpaying for Vucevic or losing him for nothing and handing the frontcourt keys over to Aaron Gordon, Jonathan Isaac, and Mo Bamba. Like the Magic did with Aaron Gordon, I would expect a contract for Vucevic to be front-loaded, as such:

​

2019-2020 : $21.74 million

2020-2021: $20.00 million

2021-2022: $18.26 million

Total:           $60.00 million

​

Vucevic could also get a big one-year contract if the Lakers, Clippers, or Knicks strike out in free agency.

Potential Teams: Magic, Kings, Mavericks, Lakers, Knicks

Predicted Contract: 3-year, $60.0 million, with Magic

Predicted Contract: 3-year, $60.0 million, with Magic

*Actual Contract: 4-year, $100.0 million, with Magic.

A big, non-max, long-term contract always seemed like the end game for Vucevic, and he did well by getting nine figures.
