I like it, has played well end of last year and start of this season. Timma time for last roster spot.

He appears to be a hard worker. You want those kinds of guys on the team to teach others that mindset.

And this could be the reason why the Magic traded their 2nd round pick (#33).

Nice. I like Iggy. May not be a bug time game changer but he does the right things and plays smart. Can’t be unhappy about that presence.

Looks like Ennis won't be signing here.

Good choice for one of the two two-way deals.

I think they did that because of all the young talent already and not wanting to commit another roster for a few years to youth.

Can we still sign Timma? We dont have a spot anymore?

I think he's the perfect candidate for a two-way considering his age/skillset. He jumped out to me while watching the game last night. I saw someone who could provide some rotational minutes for us.

Ignas averaged 11 && 5 while shooting 40% from 3 in the 8 games he played for us at the end of last year.

Owned by Michiganders, you wonder if that plays into it at all?

He is a NBA player. I think he ends up having a 10+ year career. Savvy, smart, and solid shooter.

They have 1 open roster spot and 1 open two-way spot.

So they certainly *can* sign him, but I don't think they will. Robbins seems to think they're gonna leave the 15th spot open potentially for trade purposes (i.e. bringing on a bad contract with the Fournier TPE in exchange for a draft pick).

If they do sign someone for that 15th spot, I have to imagine it will be a non-guaranteed deal they can waive.

I love this move by Orlando. Brazdeikis gets another year to develop and then Orlando gets to look at the 2022/23 season where SG depth is probable. Locking him up now keeps another team from signing him to a 2W contract in the preseason. Smart move with little downside.

Orlando has a roster slot with Bacon being waived. Indeed Timma might be auditioning for a slot between 2W and final roster slot.

That said, Sindarius Thornwell just appeared on the Magic.com site with Brazdeikis. Magic.com Roster link
Does that mean Thornwell got the other 2W contract? I guess we will hear more very soon.

Good move, he's a solid depth guy.
