No it's that other Eastern Conference team that loves giving out bad contracts
Quote:
The Orlando Magic may have set their sights on veteran center Adonal Foyle, who became a free agent Monday when he accepted a contractual buyout from the Golden State Warriors. Foyle, 32, is an experienced center/forward who could fill the void -- at least defensively -- that was created when Darko Milicic left as a free agent for the Memphis Grizzlies. Orlando Sentinel
The Magic will be able to pay him $1.2 million as a 10-year veteran, adding to his salary from the Warriors. Although still an effective defensive center, he didn't fit into the uptempo helter-skelter style that was so effective for the Warriors during the playoffs under Coach Don Nelson. In his career, his offensive skills never really developed. Orlando Sentinel
The 32-year-old Foyle appeared to have interest in joining the Orlando Magic, which would be much closer to his homeland of tiny Canouan, in the cluster of Caribbean islands called St. Vincent and the Grenadines. ESPN.com.
According to a person with knowledge of the negotiations, Foyle agreed to accept $13 million of the nearly $20 million he was due. San Jose Mercury News
