    AG: patience, mid jumper and aggressiveness. JI: jump shot and one on one play. Bamba: get stronger. Improve his game in the paint. Fultz: get healthy. Fournier: Get to know his future city and teammates. Vooch: look for a bank outside of Florida and learn the tax regulation on that specific city. Ross: be happy to come back as a Magic player and work on his shot selection. Iwundu: work on his jump shot.

    AG: Finishing at the rim through contact. JI: First step/1 on 1 ball handling. Bamba: Add weight. Stay healthy.  Iwundu: Nothing in particular. Improve overall game. Fournier: Regain shooting confidence. None of the other guys really matter to me. If these guys can do this we will have another good year next year.

    For JI and this team to take the next step he needs to add some serious muscle ala Giannis in order to take his game to the next level. So I would say strength and conditioning for JI all summer and in between testing from that he needs to be putting up a ton of shots and build confidence with that jumper. Bamba same thing needs to add the muscle and need to see him more engaged when on the court. AG needs to improve his handle and continue with the great decision making and also keep focused on the defensive side of the ball. Fultz just needs to play ball and stop letting all the pressure get into his head. Iwundu needs to keep working on his shot and keep improving the ball handling. He can be a good 2 way player if his shot starts to fall consistently. Fournier needs to go and so does Vuc so I could care less what they worked on over the summer.

    It's not really 80 million. That assumes his next contract after this one is worth $0

    Not usually. Remember most of our guys are "on vacation", so they would have to be willing to come in to participate. I'm not sure if their contracts even allow for this, they may not. Also, the potential draftee would have to be willing to work out with/against them. Most agents discourage their clients from doing this. The higher the pick, the less likely they would participate in that kind of work-out. That's why you see so few top-20 players participating in the combine. Usually you can only get that kind of work-out if you are having several 2nd round potential picks in at the same time - and again, they are usually only working them out together, not against current players.

    So, this is with a lot of assumptions, but just for arguments sake; we guarantee Iwundu, sign our #16 pick, manage to trade EF/2nd round pick for JR Smith and then waive JR Smith, and waive our rights to all our free agents except Ross/Birch. That would then give us about $23.5M in cap space - so we could then hypothetically offer Brogdon enough to prevent Milwaukee from matching, and still re-sign Ross and Birch. Player Cap Figure Aaron Gordon (24) $19,863,636 Markelle Fultz (21) $9,745,200 D.J. Augustin (31) $7,250,000 Jonathan Isaac (21) $5,806,440 Mohamed Bamba (21) $5,697,600 16th Pick @ 120% $3,117,000 Wesley Iwundu (24) $1,618,520 Melvin Frazier (23) $1,416,852 Sub-Total $54,515,248 2019-20 Dead Cap C.J. Watson $333,333 JR Smith $3,870,000 Timofey Mozgov $5,573,333 Sub-Total $9,776,666 2019-20 Cap Holds Terrence Ross (28) $15,750,000 Khem Birch (27) - RFA $1,818,520 Incomplete Roster $3,588,628 ($897,158 x 4) Sub-Total $21,157,148 Cap Type Active Roster Cap $54,515,248 Dead Money $9,776,666 Cap Holds $21,157,148 Total Salaries $85,449,062 2019 NBA Cap Max $109,000,000 Actual Cap Max Space $23,550,938 That would then give us this for a roster: Brogdon/Augustin/Fultz Ross/Iwundu Isaac/Frazier Gordon/16th pick(?) Bamba/Birch You would then probably need to fill roster spots 12-14(15?) with minimum contracts; what you ended up signing Brogdon/Ross/Birch for would obviously figure into that. You might have a $4-5M slot available for spot 12 and just have to fill the rest with minimums.

    What’s crazy is he’s the same age as Evan. However, it seems Brogdon might still be growing as a player, whereas Evan seems to have hit his ceiling. I personally believe it’s time for a culture shift on the Magic and would welcome a swap out of Brogdon for Fournier, as well as the decision to not re-up Vooch. Fournier is very inconsistent, and I don’t see Vooch as an anchor on a championship caliber team.
