Penda signed a four-year, $8.7 million deal with the Magic, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Analyse

Penda ended up with the Magic following a draft-night trade that sent the No. 46 and 57 picks to the Celtics in exchange for Penda at No. 32. He will join a contending Magic squad on a four-year deal that includes two years fully guaranteed, with a third-year trigger date and fourth-year team option. It could be an uphill battle for Penda to crack the rotation to start the season, but his hard-nosed defense could give him a path to becoming a steady contributor as the campaign progresses.
