Very suitable for Lakers Warriors? The Eastern Conference upstart gave up four substitutes, and many teams pay attention to the 30-year-old engineer

Basketball

Although this offseason has just begun for most teams, in order to promote the draft, including the subsequent free market signings, it is necessary to plan in advance. After the Orlando Magic exchanged for Desmond Bain, the management did not stop the operation, and several players may be given up.

According to reporter Evan Westedry, the Eastern Conference upstart Orlando Magic has given up executing four substitute team options, including Gary Harris, Wagner, Cory Joseph and Caleb Thustein. Unexpectedly, the Magic, which has always been conservative, is particularly radical this offseason, among which Gary Harris may be very suitable for powerful men like the Lakers and the Warriors. Evan Sidri also added that many teams are paying attention to the 30-year-old engineer.

Gary Harris was once the top 3D player in the league, but his performance has continued to decline over the past few seasons as he grows older and has accumulated injuries. Logically speaking, the Magic's backcourt talents have withered and suffered some injuries, which gave Gary Harris a lot of opportunities, but he himself is not good at it and can only average 3 points and 1.3 rebounds per game. Of course, his outside shooting and defense are quite qualified. But Gary Harris is too outrageous in the playoffs, averaging only 1.4 points and 1 rebound. With the Celtics' strict defense, he shot 16.7% of his three-point shooting percentage. His salary in the new season is around 7.5 million US dollars, and it is normal for the Magic to refuse to execute.

especially cost a lot. After exchanging the Grizzlies for Desmond Bain, the Magic did not need Gary Harris. After all, even in his peak period, he could not compare to Desmond Bain. The Magic should be said to have invested a lot of money, which is to use Wagner Jr., Paul Banchero, Desmond Bain and Jaylen Sages to build the core team for many years to come. Especially the Magic lacks outside projection and offensive firepower. In this regard, Desmond Bain has little problem as the third leader, and it will inevitably reduce the pressure on the two forward stars.

But due to salary and resources, it's entirely focused on four players, the Magic certainly needs to streamline the lineup. Except for Wagner, who is still in the team, and his performance is not bad, it is entirely possible that he will re-sign a contract with the Magic, other players will probably give up directly. Similar to Gary Harris, another Magic defender, veteran Cory Joseph, also declined seriously. He didn't even count the qualified rotation, but he often started, which shows how big the Magic's backcourt was in the past. As for Caleb Thustein, he is relatively young, it depends on which reconstruction team that has no record demand and whether he is willing to give him a chance.
