Orlando Pinstriped Post was asked to participate in SB Nation’s league-wide story on NBA free agency, which asks what each team can realistically do in the offseason to make fans “over the moon” happy. Sadly, for the Magic, the answer is not much.
Had the word “realistically” not been thrown in, we could have had a little more fun with this project. Chris Paul would certainly answer the Magic’s point guard concerns that have been heavily discussed since Orlando wound up with Mo Bamba in the NBA Draft.
But the Magic are strapped financially, with essentially $80 million in guaranteed contracts and a majority (if not all) of the projected $19 million or so they do have available tied up by Aaron Gordon’s cap hold.
