Dallas trades: Dwight Powell, Iwundu, and Tyrell Terry (CLE) + #1 pick (~ '25) to CLE and #2 pick to ORL (for Gordon + K.P.Jr)
Orlando trades: Mo Bamba (CLE) and Aaron Gordon (Dal) (for Drummond; 2 #1 picks; and a 2nd rd pick + Jalen Brunson)
Cleveland trades: Andre Drummond and 2 #1 picks to Orlando (for Powell, Bamba, Iwundu, and Terry + a Dallas 1st)
Can't see ORL investing in Drummond with Vucevic still on the roster. I do think that the Mavs wouldn't mind consolidating/replacing Powell/WCS into Vucevic. He's not the above the rim player like those 2, but he's still darn good.
Maybe a revised trade where:
Cavs get: Powell/WCS/Terry
Magic: Drummond/THJ
Mavs: Vucevic/Fournier
Mavs also give up 1 first pick and whatever 2nds they have left to sweeten the pot. I doubt the Magic would be for such a trade. And CLE would be eating Powell's salary for not much incentive. Also because of trade rules WCS wouldn't be able to be traded until March 1st, which is a long ways away.
