Mac McClung's Qualifying Offer Withdrawn

Post #1 » by **Howard Mass** » Sat Jul 5, 2025 8:43 pm

As everyone knows, a few days ago, The Magic withdrew their Two-Way Qualifying Offer to Three-time Slam Dunk Champion Mac McClung.

I think this was so McClung could be a unrestricted free agent and be free to look elsewhere for a shot to get on a 15 man roster as that was not going to happen here and believe McClung's agent requested it.

Hopefully, The Magic can find some Two-Way Players to develop.

We will get vets like we usually do.

If we weren't going to give him minutes last year, he won't get any next season.

Wish the guy the best!

Good guy and I believe a good player too. He deserves a shot.

I'm still kind of flummoxed we didn't call him up when we needed backup & 3rd string PG last year.

He would had gotten a chance but he was injured as well.

Oh! I didn’t know that! I thought he was tearing it up at the time when we were injured.

Someone else mentioned it, but it really did seem like he spent more time in a Magic uniform at the dunk competition than with his whole time with Osceola….

Wasn’t he down there for 2 years?

He's close to the same size as Reed Sheppard, who is also having a tough time getting minutes. Mcclung has a 7'10" standing reach with a 6'2.25" wingspan. Sheppard has a 7'9.5" standing reach with a 6'3.25" wingspan. Mcclung is just too small for the NBA.

We talk about Jase being small, but he has an 8'2 5" standing reach and a 6'6" wingspan. Tyus Jones has an 8'1" standing reach and a 6'5" wingspan.

I figured he wouldn’t be here this season when we didn’t use him at all when we had no guards.

Magic should get a PG, Wing and big for their 3 Two-Way Deals.

Only Ethan Thompson is signed to a Two-Way but they are not guaranteed.

It would be good if they can get a Trevelin Queen type of player who can come in and play when needed.
