That's the route any team that wants Mario is going to have to go now. The only problem now is he's showing signs of why he was taken 5th overall. A team like the 76ers, Rockets, Bucks, etc could all use him & offer him the MLE. He may prefer to go to a team that's more competitive than come here. Then we'd have to offer more to get him interested, and then you have to ask yourself is he worth it?
Who knows what will happen, but I think by July 1 he'll no longer be flying under the radar. ORL would probably be smart to try & retain him.
