I guess Ingles back would be ok. Anything outside of a vet min isn’t a smart move. I’m not sure what to expect contribution wise out of him resigned outside of a vet leadership.

The Magic will only have a vet-min contract to offer after M-Wagner is resigned. But the team needs a PF or combo-big. Ingles is gone.

Aren't we 3-deep at both big spots? (and quite a few can play multiple spots). I think we're ok up front...

Centers: WCJ, Mo, Goga
PF: Paolo, Isaac, smaller lineup - Franz, da Silva

guys that can play both: WCJ, Mo, Isaac

I'm good with that group and would even trade a Center (and some guard(s) and pick(s)) to get a guard with some game management skill off the bench. Our 3rd Center is too good to be a 3rd Center...that's a spot for the RoLo's and Plumlee's of the world, imo. We overloaded in a good way but have them all under sound deals that could be moved. If we just re-signed Goga for $8m per just to sit on the bench again and be injury insurance - I think that's a waste. All 3 of or C's could have trade value out there.

For me, da Silva is currently too weak to play PF. He is a straight-SF in my opinion.
