The Sioux Falls location complicates things logistically. Hennigan said the team will explore having a closer affiliate.

QRichardson's salary will not be impacted by the new CBA's stretch provision since the deal was signed before 12/9/11.

John Denton ‏@JohnDenton555

#Magic GM Rob Hennigan alerted Q-Rich a week ago that he could be cut. Rob: "Something we try to do with all our players is be upfront.''

Josh Robbins ‏@JoshuaBRobbins

Rob Hennigan: ". . . We feel that the decision was for the organization and the culture we want to start to set."

Q is a class act. I wish him nothing but the best. This league needs more pros like him.

i haven't kept up with the nba at all since the dhoward trade, so is there anyone kind enough that could fill me in on whats happened with the magic since? how are our guys doing in preseason? any updates on the protection of the picks we received in the howard deal? have we made any other trades since? i see on wiretap that qrich is being waived which i think is a good move. just sucks we gave him a deal over multiple years thinking howard would stay with us, but eating $5M over 2 years isn't the end of the world. also, Go Magic!! (as in lose so we can get a top pick, im rooting for the Thunder to win it all)

It really was AWESOME having him on this team. He did anything you would ask & didnt complain one bit. From protecting his teammates on the court to being the best teammate on the bench.

Good luck in the future Q

Sucks to see Harper gone too. He will latch on somewhere else, & hopefully its a place where he will get to actually prove himself.

Q is one of my favorite players, hope he lands in a good situation.

He just signed that chicken wing deal too...

Josh Robbins ‏@JoshuaBRobbins

DeQuan Jones said he had been nervous about getting cut right up until Hennigan & Scott Perry spoke to him this morning.

The spot was up for grabs between Harper and Jones

Damn... we lost our best cheerleader in QRich

Hate to see Q go, I would have liked to have him teaching the young guys about being a professional, a true pros pro.

The Magic really need to buy their own dleague team like alot of the good teams have and move it to Tampa. Tampa is a perfect location for a dleague team and is super close to Orlando

proud of jones. I like this new culture. People who want to be here and work hard

OrlandO · Post #177 » by **OrlandO** » Sat Oct 27, 2012 6:36 pm

Q is a good team player, but I'm glad we're finally getting rid of him. Didn't think Magic would do it though due to his veteran presence and contract...

Glad Jones made it, he's out new Von Wafer with more talent and potential. Hopefully he's going to be money in NBA2k13 like Wafer was.

trebone · Post #179 » by **trebone** » Sat Oct 27, 2012 7:34 pm

I don't know but I did like Vons prolific scoring!

Mr-Magic · Post #180 » by **Mr-Magic** » Sat Oct 27, 2012 7:51 pm

Truly bittersweet to see Q go. The guy was a true professional, we couldn't have asked for more from his skill set.

Good defender and shooter, on court team mate defender, never complained about minutes, classy until the end. I'm glad he gets all his money and hope he signs with the team that wins it all this season. He deserves it. I've been a fan since the Q and DMiles Clipper days.

Best wishes QRich!
