Team option on the 2nd year or no?

TBD, but I expect it to be a team option or partial guarantee.

Not hating, there was money to be spent and we need 3rd stringer at C.

That’s pretty much the end of Bol Bol unless the Magic decide to get weird and trade Cole and another player for a backup PF.

Guess he can move out of Franz house now.

Would really hope a team option on second year

It's probably a team option in the second year.

Got it. His play annoys me from time to time but I like the energy he plays with overall. Good to have him back.

I can stomach him with less minutes. He fills a need when he's on.

was expecting more $5mil/yr. $8mil for a 3rd stringer seems a bit high

Every good team needs a hatchet man who gets under the skin of opponents. He played great last year. Glad to have Mo back.

It's just good business to keep people happy especially if it's your last roster spot. Assuming a 1+1 deal too. Also could easily be a 2nd stringer with the injury luck of our bigs especially. I hope not but we'll see.

$5mil/yr should keep him happy too. $8mil is just too much. just my opinion. he just got through playing 2 years under $2mil/yr for us. $5mil is a nice bump and would have kept him happy

Yeah actual worth versus like what he got is a diff story but I'm not gonna count another man's change. I think if we had more roster spots to fill he would've got around $5 mil though.

No problem with this however he made several bone head stupid fouls last season that was annoying
