The Orlando Magic’s offseason centers around one player — Aaron Gordon.
Gordon’s cap hold has taken up essentially all of the team’s available cap room and financial flexibility. Signing Gordon to a new contract will put the Magic over the cap. It leaves Orlando with just the $8.6 million mid-level exception to use in free agency, virtually.
The Gordon decision will be a big one too though.
Orlando has made it fairly clear the team intends to keep Gordon in a Magic uniform. President of basketball operations Jeff Weltman has made that clear in several public appearances that they hope to keep Aaron Gordon with the team for a long time.
