It all probably started innocent enough.
Patricio Garino, a rookie from George Washington who spent his first season in the D-League, was signing his first contract for the NBA regular season. He was happy and it was a time to celebrate.
As many players do, he took a photo of him signing his contract, smile beaming across his face from achieving his dream.
That photo would set off a Tweet storm, though. In the background was a whiteboard with several trade and free agent targets for the Orlando Magic. It may have been nothing more than brainstorming — a list of all options available rather than specific actions the team would take or targets they would pursue.
