Didn't see that coming unless we're throwing him a LARGE one/two year deal. We'll see I guess.

If he is going to shoot from the corners as well as he did last year, that is what our back court needs.
I'll be interested to see the numbers.

Is Gary the guy that gets a ridiculous amount of money to stay in Orlando? Is he the new Jeff Green? There’s one every year.

I low key thought he was one of the bright spots last year. Him finding his shot last season was such a pleasant surprise. He's a good role player.

Great news. I hope it's at least 2 years. He's solid. I really didn't expect to be happy standing pat and running it back healthy + BANCHERO. Maybe after the FA dust settles, the trades go off.
Welcome Back Gary. Hope you pick up how you played the last half of the season. You should have a lot of open ones this year.

He looked DONE going into last season. Maybe we sign him to a friendly deal that allows us to move him to a contender if the magic/he wants out.

Definitely started slow and then looked really solid during the end of the year. Wouldn't mind him back for a year since we definitely need at least 1 or 2 vets on this roster that aren't useless.

Nice.
Our off-season is basically done now.
Maybe a Terrence Ross trade but thats it.

After we drafted Paolo, it appears Ross backed off that trade request.

I hope there's a player/team option on that 2nd year.

Glad to have Harris back! We're just going to come back this season with the exact same team but with Paolo and Houstan now. I'm good with this.
It feels like we also signed two more FA's with Fultz being healthy from the start and hopefully Isaac as well at some point.

I hope so too but I'm not sure it matters. That seems like a contract many playoff teams won't mind taking on if he continues shooting like he did last year.

I haven't been too critical of many deals the Magic have done in recent years, but this is a bad one. Pretty severe overpay, and now we have two SGs that we need to move on negative deals.
It's crazy we sign Harris to this deal and let Otto walk for next to nothing last offseason.
