We'll see how it plays out. If nothing is done this week, a telling sign will be who shows up to Vegas to support the team.
Who is chilling in Miami? Jett isn’t 6’8”

Another out would be to trade Jett to Brooklyn for Clowney or Whitehead—his dad is a coach their so could be realistic…
Either of these open up room for Houstan to return in minimum deal.

That puts us at 113 pts. If we find 10 more pts, we'd have the #1 offense in the league.
I think the team will learn to push the pace so everyone can get their numbers. When players see their assist numbers going up, they'll be more willing ball movers.drsd wrote:basketballRob wrote:Paolo 27 pts

M-Wagner was at 13 ppg pre injury last year!
They don't have enough to sign him.Orlando Dawg wrote:If the Magic can sign Caleb to the vet min,

Vet-min contracts count in full to the cap, lux-tax and aprons. What is unique about them is that they are an unlimited exemption. That is, no matter the current spend, a player is always allowed to be signed to such a deal (with the consequences thereof.
For example, the Magic has this vet-deal to sign for Mr #15, but to do so would throw the team over the 1st apron.
....
One thing of interest here: the two-way contracts do not count to the cap. As up to 50 NBA games can be played, this will be a super useful exemption for Orlando this year. In particular, as mentioned by someone here, one of the two-way players could be the effective 3rd big until M-Wagner returns in full.
On the summer league the Magic has Kylor Kelley, Lynn Kidd, and Márcio Santos. As best as I can tell, Kelley is ineligible for a two-way contact.
Lynn Kidd and Márcio Santos are both potentials here. Kidd is a five-year collegiate who is a good-body. Santos has Euro championship experience.
Two names to follow for a two-way slot in early season use ???

IF Beal is bought out and is looking at a very small deal - like $5m for one year...and he lists a small handful of teams that he'd want to play for and ORL is on top of it...would we pursue it? I'm sure we could unload Jett, with some srp sweeteners if there was a good enough reason to...or even Goga in a pinch. If we're really all-in, you'd have to at least consider it. Beal would, unquestionably, be the best $5m player in the league.
I'm not a big fan of his, but sometimes the math is overwhelming - the guy is a very good player once you take the contract out of the equation.

Because Jabari got paid as soon as he was able to. My thought is delay is due to Paolo trying to have the 5th year be a player option instead full 5 year deal. We know he is getting a max deal, so the hold up to me seems a bit strange unless the player option is what he is negotiating.
I didn’t know rookie contract extension could be negotiated with a player’s option on the 5th term, I thought that was an automatic team option.
But regardless, it is a little strange that we have not heard anything about his offer. I assumed he’d be the first news we heard once the season ended. But he will be a RFA so if he doesn’t want to sign his extension, we’d just match whatever offer he gets. However, I always think it is a gamble for players to go into a contract year without a guaranteed contract because of the possibility of injuries. So, I do hope, for his sake that he signs soon.

We have roughly 1.5 million left. Caleb is a 4 year player so his vet min is higher and we can’t sign him to a standard contract.
A two-way contract may be viable but I’m Caleb is looking for more.
