Robinson might get a lot of game time the first 20 games, or so. He is exactly the sort of player the Magic needed to ink for a 2-way.

Usually a team uses 2-way'ers late season; Orlando needs a Center early season. So: no. He's M-Wagner's replacement, not Bitadze's.

If we are claiming him to be Moe's replacement, does that mean O-Rob is an offensive type C?

I'm guessing the roster is set for now. 15th slot still open and probably will remain open unless there's a trade made to free up cap space and the 3rd 2 way slot probably also will remain open until later in the season for potential injury issues.

Hey, what a nice steal!
Orlando to Orlando 8-)

Did Magic have to sign him for less than 1.26 million which was the cap room left?

I would have liked more if it was a player like Neemias Queta from Boston.

Two way contracts don't count against the cap

Two-Way Contracts don't count against The Cap.

This is a nice pickup for The Magic.

He shot better than Jett from the 3.

I love his name, he will fit right in!

Have we ever had a player named Orlando play for us before?

I'm happy with this. Small risk and it can be high reward.

It's too bad we couldn't get his brother Duncan. Maybe we can sign and rehabilitate Malik Beasley.

Perfect pickup, would have been neglect to start the season with out an big.

He has the name... guess he has that going for him.

Front Jersey has ORLANDO
Back Jersey has ROBINSON

Full name

And-1

Mr. Robinson can suit up for a huge 50 games this season; or 61% of all games. Early on, I think this is really helpful for the Magic.

We need this signing because the Goga experiment got exposed. Isaac and WCJ are made of glass, and Mo is injured. I hate saying this is an excellent signing as much as it is a needed one.

The "we need a C" alarm has been going off all offseason, and I am glad they were listening between all the other moves. O-Robinson seems promising.

He was 3/6 from 3 vs our team last year.

I wonder if Weltman can trade WCJ/Jett Howard for Moses Moody. Then sign Howard to minimum:

Unfortunately having him merely in the locker room would potentially be the equivalent of a major distraction. We retired his jersey. Let's let the story end in peace.
