News [Hoops Wire] Magic waive Malaki Branham, JD Davison and Kevin Knox

https://hoopswire.com/magic-waive-three-players/

All three were on Exhibit 10 deals, and Orlando is now expected to open the season with one standard roster spot still available.

Branham, Davison and Knox could all still end up with Osceola.

How we keep Castelton and Morales over Davidson and Branham baffles Me.

I get both have the NBA physical profiles, but they simply don’t have the skillsets.

Branham is a solid spot up guy and Davidson can get into the paint and make the right play.

But then again I’m just Vegetable Captain so what do I know.

This is Orlando Magic doctrine.

Should’ve seen it coming.

Aaron Gordon, Jonathan Isaac, Mo Bamba coded shi.

Only exceptions I can think of are Jase Richardson and Cole Anthony.

Edit: I used to be the biggest Mo Bamba Stan it was insane. Was convinced he’d be a 18/12/3 on 50/40/75 type guy. (I was a teenager tbf).

Oh I think there's one guy out there who's more into Mo Bamba than you are
