Vucevic, 30, was the 16th overall pick by the Philadelphia 76ers
in 2011.

and is averaging 5.5 points and 5.4 rebounds. In 705 career
games (445 starts), Aminu has averaged 7.6 points and 6.0
rebounds.
Porter, 27, was the third overall pick by the Washington Wizards
in 2013 and has averaged 11.0 points and 5.0 rebounds over 438
career games (301 starts). He's averaged 9.9 points and 5.5
rebounds in 25 games (six starts) this season.
Carter, who turns 22 in April, was the seventh overall pick by
Chicago in 2018. He started 25 of 32 games with the Bulls this
season, averaging 10.9 points and 7.8 rebounds. In 119 career
games (112 starts), he's averaged 10.8 points and 8.1 rebounds.
In 26 games (all starts) on the season, Fournier is averaging
career highs in points (19.7) and assists (3.7) to go with 2.9
rebounds. In 549 career games (407 starts) over nine NBA
seasons, he has averages of 14.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.7
assists.
With the NBA trade deadline set for 3 p.m. ET, the Magic also
reportedly are shopping forward Aaron Gordon, which would send
the franchise into a rebuild.
