Evan Fournier trade grades: Who won the deal between the Celtics and Magic?

Did the Celtics really need to do this?

The Magic are really shaking things up. They already moved off of Nikola Vucevic in the first blockbuster deal of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline.

The Magic are clearly intent on tearing things down to the studs and rebuilding from the ground up. Fournier’s deal confirms that.

For the Celtics, they get a proven scorer which is always good. But this move doesn’t feel like one they absolutely needed to make.

Let’s dish out some grades.
