They are better but I don't think anyone is looking to just make the playoffs and that's basically where they are. Unless Mario or Gordon turn into stars this team is solid playoff team but no threat to contend for the east.

Saw on Twitter with all reported deals they have about 3 mil in space left

The only guy in their starting 5 that couldn't score was Wallace. The magic have at least 3.

@LegionHoops: Biyombo's contract with Orlando is 4 years, $70 million. (Y!)

Magic will have a great defensive team and score 70 a game!

Why? The cap is jumping each year. I'd rather pay him 16 mil a year rather than some of the FAs out there.

Please at the time they had no reason to move him for spare parts. That deal was horrible from the second it was made just looks worse now.

Nope and that trade looks even worse with the money flying around now.

With the deals some of these guys are about to get that Harris deal looks worse and worse.

I don't think it's so much trading Harris or Vic that upsets people it's the crap value he gets back. You trade Harris for spare parts and cap space. You trade Vic for a solid but not great big. They essentially traded both Harris and Vic for Ibaka. If your happy with that value your nuts. I'll give him FA before I go nuts but my thoughts on him have def shifted to the negative.

Wouldn't he be more David West than Hibbert?

Henny's seat just got red hot! 2 deals in a row he gets fleeced.

Thought the same thing. Nice to dream!

Knowing their GM I'm sure they want picks. I'd be willing to give up what you said and a first for him. He needs work on the defensive side but the guy is a monster in the post.

Completely agree! As someone who lives in NYC I've seen 2 teams clear the deck for free agency and end up with the likes of Robin Lopez and Aaron Affalo to show for it. The Fyre deal I can live with because that contract was horrible the second he signed it. Harris is the one that's a head scratcher. 23 and on what will be a solid deal come the new TV money for spare parts. Unless they get the likes of KD in the summer this is all a waste of time.

Not 100% positive but I think he is his agent. He used to be George Gervins agent.

Wojo reporting Monroe to the bucks. Should call and check on Henson.

Why wouldn't people want Faried? Love his motor and nonstop hustle.

For what it's worth Steve Kyler on Twitter said the report was BS. He said he spoke to Harris directly and that Skiles is not a factor but the $$$ and commitment to him long term.

The Magic have nice young players, top 5 pick, and plenty of cap space. I'm pretty sure that's what they love.

Frye?

For its worth I was listening to NBA radio this morning and the host say Thibs is headed to Orlando. They had on a Chicago beat writer who said he's 95% gone and Orlando is his most likely landing spot. Like I said take it with a grain of salt but they did mention it a few times.

Awesome article! Sad to think what could've been though.

Didn't he call Dwight to Brooklyn in the same type of way? I may be wrong but I think he was out front like this with Dwight and was wrong. If these guys are wrong they just go with the whole "well things are very fluid and he changed his mind last minute. "
