So that limits what we are able to offer Mo, right?
I think we have around $11m to fill the rest of the roster spots.

Wonder if the rest of the money goes to Mo for playing the game.

We have a real point guard on the roster now!


I don't think this means AB is going anywhere given its only a 1 year deal. (Unless there is like a Sign & Trade for NAW or another wing in place.)

But this was a good move by the Magic.

Now a 3-Point Shooter/Scorer is next.

An underrated aspect of this team is its familiarity with each other. The fact Bane and Tyus can 100% run with each other when we throw out different lineups is going to make for some exciting possibilities. The Pacers showed just how dangerous an adaptable team can be in a deep playoff run.

Good solid back up pg(reminds me of dj augustin a bit). I like having him on the second unit in case the starts have trouble with facilitating on any given night. I'm surprised it's only a 1 year deal. I would have preferred a 2 years deal with like a player option or something like that on the second year.

Now try and get moe back on a team friend deal & try and snag a veteran minimum forward and I think you have something cooking.

Just saying he is no longer tasked with being a point guard off the bench. He will still guard opposing back courts when needed.

I feel like Randy Quaid from Major League 2. But I might be ready to drink the kool aid.

Welcome, Tyus.

Funny i was thinking about DJ the other day because that would be the type of veteran PG and shooter we needed for the backup slot.

Excellent signing. Veteran, backup PG that will stabilize a team and provide 3pt shooting. Awesome job front office. I wanted an upgrade over CoJo and we got it.


We wont be last in 3pt shooting anymore.

I've been wanting Tyus on the Magic since he left the Grizzlies two seasons ago. Finally this move has happen. He will be the playmaker this team needs as Tyus will get ppl in their positions to score the rock. The Magic are having a great offseason. I'm proud of them.

This is awful....all these awesome moves and we have 4 months to wait.

Tyus is a nice step up from Cole.

With Suggs and Bane most likely missing a few games, he will play some starting minutes too. Good signing !

Absolutely. Cole has always profile as that sixth man role. Albeit he can be inconsistent at times. He tried. I'll give him that plus being a good locker guy. Playmaking isn't in his DNA. That said, I'm glad Tyus is here.

As for the four months, be patient. Unfortunately, we live in a era where time itself flies by. Best not to rush it. Chillax and let it marinate.

I think the team might be done for now... I can't see them moving anyone else until Mo comes back/trade deadline.

Hopefully they don't follow the trend of veteran players coming to Orlando and completely forgetting how to shoot wide open 3s.

Well... we have sunmer league coming up to see how our draft went.

Then we got FIBA to drool over Franz and maybe TDS progression. Oh and Gogas improvement as well.

Then... yeah vids of our guys shooting 3s in an empty gym before training camp starts
