If the Magic accept all of their options next season they would have 11 players on the roster at roughly $97m. That would leave us with around $45m to spend while retaining:
Isaac ($17.5m option)
Anthony
Ingles ($11m option)
Banchero
Wagner
Wagner
Houston
Suggs
Black
Howard
WCJ
Markelle has a $25.5m cap hold
Gary has a $19.5m cap hold
Goga has a $2.5m cap hold
I think the logical moves here would be to re-sign Gary/Goga. Let Fultz walk and work towards Suggs/Wagner extensions. Orlando has a lot of flexibility to play with
Not sure if you can remember this but go sign Tim Duncan for a last dance
Ngl watching these other historically bad franchises thrive and succeed both sheds a tear to my eye for the fans like us who have to endure it but it also makes me pretty jealous too. The Magic, Timberwolves, Pacers, Kings etc thriving again makes me envious how I only got to see like less than five years of that in the past like 2 decades. Gilbert could rarely win in the playoffs but John Wall could and then he got injured.
Pacers historically bad??? lol the recency bias is clouding ya my friend. we have made the playoffs in 25 seasons since 1990
If they can pick up Bronny at the end of the first round and sign Lebron to a short contract, that could be huge for them.
