So when he isn’t moved, and Orlando doesn’t add another PF, what happens then?

I don’t know why he’s still here- is he Paolo’s brother? (In that case-$8 million!)
I don't get why we'd cut him midway through free agency or why he'd agree to that. Is he negotiating with teams on the side? None of it makes sense.


Not his choice…unless you mean the timing. Maybe Weltman said we’d keep him if he couldn’t find a buyer. Someone will pick him up as a min UFA…at least. And, honestly…he’ll be interesting for a bad team to take a look at.
Wasn't it his choice to extend the option window? Why would he agree to that if he runs the risk of getting cut mid free agency and teams have filled up their rosters?

They have to do something though, can't have 16 guaranteed contracts.

We get this:

Seriously though: the Magic can carry 20 players up through the pre-season. Then the team MUST be brought to 15 players for opening night. No if's or but's.
