Salary cap is $141 million.
My preferred #1 plan:
Sign Hartenstein, 5 years $100 million. If he says no, sign Claxton to 4 years $60 mil.
Call Brooklyn and send Wendell, Cole, Jett, the 18th pick, 2025 Denver first, and 2026 Phoenix pick swap for Mikal Bridges. Give them Black, too, if that’s what it takes. They can flip Wendell for more.
Sign Tyus Jones for $15 mil. per year.
Sign Gary Trent Jr. or Buddy Hield for $15-19 mil. per year.
Say bye to Fultz, Chuma, Goga, and Harris. Black stays. Decline Ingles’ $11 mil. but re-sign him for less.
Magic 2024-2025 Depth Chart:
C: Hartenstein or Claxton, Moritz, pick #47 or vet. third string big
PF: Paolo, Isaac, Ingles
SF: Franz, Black (closer to a 3 and D, than PG currently), Houstan
SG: Bridges, Trent Jr. or Hield, Kevon/Queen
PG: Suggs, Tyus Jones, McClung
My 2nd preference:
Sign Hartenstein or Claxton.
Call Atlanta and do Wendell, Cole, Jett, the 2025 Denver first, and 2026 Phoenix pick swap for Dejounte Murray.
Say bye to Fultz and Harris. Black stays. Waive Ingles but re-sign him for less.
Sign Gary Trent Jr. or Buddy Hield.
We have 18 and 47 still.
Magic 2024-2025 Depth Chart:

PF: Paolo, Isaac, Ingles
SF: Franz, Tristan da Silva or some other forward at 18, Houstan
SG: Suggs, Trent Jr. or Hield, Kevon/Queen
PG: Dejounte, Black, McClung
3rd and last option:
Sign Hartenstein or Claxton.
Call Portland for Anfernee Simons and Malcolm Brogdon, trade them Wendell, Cole, Jett, our 18th pick, and the Denver 2025 pick.
Sign-and-trade Fultz for Matisse Thybulle.
