Orlando Magic center Adonal Foyle, who served as the backup to Dwight Howard last season, is expected to exercise an option later this week to become an unrestricted free agent.
Foyle, 33, would be leaving behind the $1.26 million that the Magic would have paid him next season under the original two-year contract he signed on Aug. 24, 2007.
His opt-out and probable departure -- which is a mild surprise -- would add to the Magic's summertime list of things to accomplish, further emphasizing the need to strengthen their frontcourt around Howard with more defense and rebounding.
Foyle, who didn't immediately return phone messages left for him at his home in California, must notifify the Magic by June 15 if he wants to opt out.
I like Foyle as a person, he is great but i loathe the player as i have made it known several times on this board. I wouldnt mind having him as a 3rd stringer but he may believe that he is above that (lunatic if thats the case). Im just glad that he wont be playing for us with his stone hands, no athletecism and ball hog mentality. And I lost some respect for him when he openly pouted about being benched in the Tor series when it was painfully obvious that he was unusable in that series. Gortat will easily replace his production.
