LIMITED OPTIONS: Orlando Magic Face FREE AGENCY Reality - Who can the Magic TARGET with the minimum?
Description
Free agency begins in the NBA on Tuesday night. The Orlando Magic will have to sit tight and wait to see who falls through the cracks. Even though the Magic have avoided the worst parts of their first life in the apron, they are still severely limited entering this offseason. They essentially only have minimum contracts to offer.
That is the frustrating part of this offseason. The Magic have three roster spots to fill -- a backup point guard, more shooting wing depth and a third center. The Magic need to get an impact player at one of those with their limited resources.
Increasingly, it has become clear that Orlando's decision to avoid the trade market has severely limited their ability to improve the roster. It might be a very quiet summer and a summer that will prove difficult to help the team take the next step.
The Magic have indeed backed themselves into a corner.
