Good for him.Great motor and athletics, still young, good D but too expensive for a guy without no offense.

I would rather have Nene as our backup center. He would probably cost us about 12-14 M per season. Or just sign Zeller, Perk, J. Hill, J. Smith or Cole...

I assume Pachulia will get something like 15-17 M per season...

Mostly just funny how the reaction was a year ago vs today.  Eja thought he'd end up in Europe.  Folks laughed at his small money.  Now he's getting paid 18 mil per year and apparently the Magic are looking to dump vucevic to make space for Biyombo in the starting lineup.

If the Magic are going to try to dump Vuc to make space for Biyombo, then we can effectively count them out of being a real live NBA team for about a decade

Orlando is the new Atlanta.  "pretty good" players, no "special" players.  Good luck with that.

I agree with Eja. They traded away Oladipo and Sabonis , and now blew their cap space on Biyombo, who plays the same position as one of their remaining best players. Sabonis himself is better than Biyombo. The Magic get an F for their offseason.

I was laughing at how small the dollars were, compared to the hype from you.  That is still the appropriate reaction regardless of how he played
