    Pretty good deal imo. Get him under max and before the new cba. Smart move because he could be one of those fringe-star players that would fetch max offer in free agency.

    Apparently Magic fans tried to make Vuccimane work, but Vooch didn't like it.

    Does that open up a possibility for trading for Frye?

    Is this real life. I'm the only shocked how ridiculous that contract is. That's worse that Parsons.

    12 million is the new 8 million. About as much as he is worth.

    Seems like a decent deal. He just recently turned 23, has improved each season, and is a double-double center averaging 14 & 11. I haven't seen much of him live but from what I've seen I'm not surprised he got that much money. There's always been a premium for big men with talent.

    Bump.

    This guy's just a monster on offense and cleaning the glass. Orlando got themselves a good deal.

    Yeah, this guy has been a steal for many fantasy owners.

    Great deal, he is the primary reason Orlando can/should be a playoff team this year

    Hasn't he improved to almost 18 and 12 this year? That's a very fair deal for a guy like that and if he continues to improve, he'll be worth even more in 4 years.

    Never played a full season.
    Closest was '12 - '13 with 77 games.

    How many players actually play a full season though?
    77 out of 82 is not bad.
