The Orlando Magic could have max contract space ($45m) while retaining 11 players (alien.top)

If the Magic accept all of their options next season they would have 11 players on the roster at roughly $97m. That would leave us with around $45m to spend while retaining:

Isaac ($17.5m option)

Anthony

Ingles ($11m option)

Banchero

Wagner

Houston

Suggs

Black

Howard

WCJ

Markelle has a $25.5m cap hold

Gary has a $19.5m cap hold

Goga has a $2.5m cap hold

I think the logical moves here would be to re-sign Gary/Goga. Let Fultz walk and work towards Suggs/Wagner extensions. Orlando has a lot of flexibility to play with

Issac is weird dude but I think he is the Magic's special sauce, not most important player but he's very unique... I was hoping the Sixers could get him in a trade but that seems impossible now.

He’s a key part of our second unit which is itself a key part of our team’s success. Pretty sure we have the statistical best or second best second unit in the league.

Not to mention, The Magic have STUFF. Top 3 mascot in the league. I saw him successfully twerking as a distraction in front of Kuzma last night during his free throws.

Ngl watching these other historically bad franchises thrive and succeed both sheds a tear to my eye for the fans like us who have to endure it but it also makes me pretty jealous too. The Magic, Timberwolves, Pacers, Kings etc thriving again makes me envious how I only got to see like less than five years of that in the past like 2 decades. Gilbert could rarely win in the playoffs but John Wall could and then he got injured.

Just get a team to trade you a young Center and 2 lottery picks for your overrated "All-Star"

Pacers historically bad??? lol the recency bias is clouding ya my friend. we have made the playoffs in 25 seasons since 1990

Pacers and Magic are definitely not in the historically bad category. We sucked for 10 years but not before that for any length of time.
