Good for Walton.

If only that Augustin contract was 2 years shorter.

Happy for Walton. He's the second Magic summer leaguer to get a two-way contract as Matt Costello got one with the Spurs.

Disappointed Walton went with the Heat. I imagine the Magic offered him a two way deal also but the Heat can point to a track record of bringing in and developing undrafted / d-league talent that the Magic can't.
