With only five games left in the season, it’s natural for one eye to start looking toward the impending off-season. Change is in the air in Orlando with several exits expected either in late November when contract options are officially accepted or declined or over the winter when the transfer windows open back up.
For the fringes of the current roster, the final five games of the season could prove to be their last attempt to impress and earn a roster spot amid all the potential turnover. In a salary-capped league, there’s value in every dollar spent on salaries and those that are out-earning their production could also be on the chopping block.
