Orlando's Off-Season Outlook
Posted by C.D. Paul on Wednesday, May 09, 2012 with No comments

After one of the most devastating seasons in their 22 years of existence, the Magic have a pivotal off season on the horizon. Alex Martins will discuss Dwight Howard’s future with him to see if he willing to commit long term to the franchise or not, therefore he will know to proceed with moving the franchise player. GM Otis Smith is unsure if he wants to return for next season, seemed the mess he made is too big for him to clean and he knows the storm is coming, in other words, he’s aware his job is in jeopardy. The Most Improved Player Ryan Anderson is a restricted free agent, Orlando wants to see his value on the market and will determine if they will match his contract or not. After the no-show in the playoffs, his value took a hit, the upside, the kid is 23 years old, and did pretty well with a whole starting season under his belt. Jameer Nelson is going to opt out, there is two stories that is being thrown Jameer’s way, he is planning to sign a low contract more years with Orlando, or his camp believes he’s worth 10 million or so, and believes this could be his shot at a payday. JJ Redick have a player option, and he seems likely to opt in, Earl Clark, Daniel Orton, and DeAndre Liggins are also up. There may be a slight possibility that Fran Vazquez, the 11th pick on the 2005 draft shows up to camp in 2012.
