Orlando Magic Sign Free Agents Malaki Branham and JD Davison Championship here we come!!

There'll be 59 I imagine yes. And I don't really care about 5 yet to be determined teenagers versus the integrity of the whole league.

And what happens with the picks? There will be only 29 in those years? One rookie is going to be disappointed!

Just in: Houston Rockets' Amen Thompson has agreed to a five-year, $208 million rookie-scale contract extension with the franchise, sources tell ESPN. The new deal includes a 10% trade kicker.

Punishing the Clippers was the right move. The aim is to stamp this out and discourage teams from ever doing this in the future and id say 5 first round picks, 30mil and year long suspensions for key personnel will do that. Was the Kawhi/PG combo the single worst team decision of all time? Cost them 10 first round picks and SGA. The reputation of their franchise. 30mil in fines on top of the salaries of the two players. And they won 3 playoff series total in 7 years.

Wow wow wow, Clippers losing their next 5 first round picks?? Who's going to make that pick instead of them btw, or we'll have just one less player drafted (and paid) in each of those seasons? In comparison, Kawhi punishment as been a a drop in the ocean.

Let me say first that that behavior has no place whatsoever in our country, state or city! Unfortunately, up to a certain point, it is still considered free speech and protected by the 1st amendment. I’m not sure the venue could have prevented it, but I don’t think they have been sufficiently firm about condemning it. There response seems more geared toward covering their butt for allowing the fight, instead of strongly condemning the comments and responses. The team doesn’t control the venue, but as the “anchor” tenant they should also be making some kind of public statement condemning the conduct of the fighter and some of the crowd.

I would be happy to see Dipo on an Exhibit 9 or 10 deal for training camp. He strikes me as exactly the type of veteran and person who could be a valuable piece on our bench, assuming he is indeed finally healthy. That kind of “prove it” deal costs us so little.

Did the Orlando Magic let some Nazi Boxing Event take place in Kia Center? As a german and as a team that has many german players, this is embarrassing and disturbing. Like wtf? I’m seeing video of hundreds of people in the audience doing Nazi salutes and other disgusting things. im actually quite speechless

I'm torn over the letter from Dipo, from one side is full of good and lovely details and propositions, but on the other... I'm not sure I would send something like that to the people that should hire me.

Konchar doesn’t give us anything we don’t already have in TDS..

Lol. Good one.

The Magic should sign John Konchar.

Also Cam Whitmore was waived.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are trading Josh Green and cash to the Utah Jazz for Cody Williams and John Konchar, sources tell ESPN.

POWER SHIFT!

The Orlando Magic and Malaki Branham have agreed to a deal, agent Deirunas Visockas of @gershbasketball told @hoopshype. Branham, the 20th pick of the 2022 NBA Draft, has averaged 8.0 points in four combined NBA seasons with the San Antonio Spurs and Washington Wizards.

Just what we need, another guard who can’t shoot for sh/?

Ben Mathurin has agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with the New Orleans Pelicans.

Fortunately for them, they have a plethora of big name guards on that team. Hard to imagine how they’d have enough playing time for all of them anyway.

Haha I thought the same thing when I read that!

Sharpe out for 6 months. Where's BJ? :P

The Magic are signing guard JD Davison to an undisclosed contract, his agent Corey Marcum and @leaguealerts confirm. The 23-year-old guard won G League MVP in 2024-25 and spent last season with the Rockets, posting averages of 2.5 PTS and 1.3 AST over 28 games.

From Dan Savage:

Thanks! Hope it will not be for one month like in previous seasons! :P (not that there's a lot to comment, but still... )
