Magic Starting 5: Orlando Signing Raptors PG Fred VanVleet in Free Agency?
1. FRED VANVLEET COMING TO CENTRAL FLORIDA?
"Orlando is also, arguably, an ideal landing spot if he leaves Toronto," Bleacher Report writes. "VanVleet is best served as a lead guard dotted by safety nets. The Magic have a host of other outside-in on-ball workers with Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Markelle Fultz, and his off-ball motion will come in handy on Wendell Carter Jr. elbow touches."
2. T ROSS SAYS GOODBYE
"Orlando, thank you for everything," Ross said in a Twitter video. Thank you for embracing me, accepting me, supporting me, thank you for everything man. It's been a crazy seven years. This will always be home to me."
3. PAOLO, FRANZ TO COMPETE IN RISING STARS CHALLENGE TONIGHT
Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner will get to prove why they were the Nos. 1 & 2 picks in this year's Rising Stars Challenge tonight at 9 p.m. on TNT.
