Former Supersonics and Trail Blazers executive Bob Whitsitt is among the many NBA figures who support having a team in Seattle again, writes Sam Yip of HoopsHype.
The Orlando Magic are virtually the same team as last year. They brought back everyone from last year’s team, only losing Robin Lopez and Ignas Brazdeikis in the process.
The Orlando Magic have opportunity to spend at the end of the season. Even late in the game of a close contest, the Magic are giving chances to players that have largely been at the end of their bench.
The Lakeland Magic won the G-League title last year in the bubble. It was a surprising run from an unsurprising team. Lakeland has the most wins in the league over the past three years with a trip to the conference finals to boot.
The Magic have signed small forward Ignas Brazdeikis for the remainder of the season following the expiration of his 10-day contract, per the team. Brazdeikis, 22, has appeared in five games with the Magic, averaging 10.0 points and 4.6 rebounds.
The Sixers recently opened up a roster spot and will likely add a player in the coming days. Darius Miller should absolutely be that player. After waiving forward Ignas Brazdeikis, the Philadelphia 76ers find themselves with an open roster spot just six weeks before the start of the playoffs.
