Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. has emerged in trade rumors following the team's slow start to the 2026-27 season, according to NBA insider Brett Siegel.

Siegel reports that the Warriors view Carter as an ideal fit and are open to taking on his contract, which runs through 2028-29, in a potential trade involving Kristaps Porzingis. Golden State is reportedly willing to offer draft compensation while prioritizing deals focused around Porzingis' $20 million salary spot.
