What connection would that be? Would be like saying Gordon will sign with Raptors because he has connections to Masai Ujiri.

wow 18 voted no. IBut to be fair I would be surprised by even 1 vote for no. Considering that we can't sign him to that big of a contract I don't see why anyone would say no. He is playing better though I must say it isn't as much as some people say. He still leaves some to be desired and I wonder if his scoring will dip when Gordon and Vuc are back. If he is as good as some people say then we should see an uptick in wins with him Gordon and Vuc as our front line. But I am not sure that will happen as he still doesn't have a good plus-minus which very well could be just that he doesn't have much help but only time will tell. It is also a very short sample size and you can't just say he should have gotten more playing time as he may not have deserved that. I think we should have but in the end I don't get to watch him outside of the few games I have seen on TV so I don't see how he is doing in practice. But in previous years when he has gotten time he hasn't produced and you have to factor that in with his now good production especially that he may just be playing well for a new contract. We shall see. But For that little money and with what he is showing now I don't understand why you would vote no. He is still young enough to where his struggles in previous years may just be that he wasn't ready. Only time will tell as you can't judge someone very accurately with this little frame of time just as you can't say the Magic are a good team just because we started out really well.

Hezonja’s growth – one that has helped him average 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists a game and stay in the Magic’s regular rotation – could play a big role in his future. The third-year pro is headed for free agency after the Magic declined to pick up the option on the fourth year of his contract back in October when he was struggling through a shaky preseason. The Magic will be limited in what they can offer Hezonja – both in salary and years – but the forward made it clear again that Orlando is still very much at the top of his wish list going forward.

``For me, it’s not about money; unfortunately, what is the thing is that the money plays, regardless who you are and how good you are,’’ Hezonja said, referring to team’s tendencies to play the players that they are most financially invested in. ``I’m telling you that I’m not in America for (money); I’m here to play. (Orlando) is my number one option and (Orlando) is what I like, especially with the vision of (President of Basketball Operations) Jeff (Weltman) and (GM) John (Hamoond), what they have going on and what they want to do here.’’

I think WeHam promised him a big role for next season! Hopefully it includes him running the point so we don't have to draft Trae Young! :D

What is your problem with Mario? It's been like that from the day 1. You are too biased when it comes to Mario, like some sort of an agenda.

would be nice to see if he stayed, given the way his development has been handled. I cant see his agent letting that happen, but who knows
