A new target ENTERS the chat | How the Magic play free agency

The Orlando Magic are expected to play most of their offseason moves in trades. But a new rumor involving Minnesota Timberwolves wing Nickeil Alexander-Walker opens the possibility for a new door.

The Magic can maneuver their way into the non-taxpayer mid-level exception and the ability to chase a free agent shooter like Alexander-Walker, Ty Jerome or Malik Beasley.

Doing so could cost the team Moe Wagner. There are a lot of big decisions ahead for the Magic.
