That's what I thought last year.

Getting Dwight to opt in to his final year was a much bigger challenge than it seemed it would be to get him to sign an extension. He could've been a FA right now with the chance to join Deron in NJ this summer if he had not opted in. But he gave that up. ORL couldn't have done anything because of their cap restraints. But next summer, the Magic will have a lot more cap room to attract FAs. They'd get even more if they were able to trade away Richardson or Davis. Or they can use the Stretch Provision on one of them that would significantly reduce thier cap number.
