Why The Orlando Magic Do The Deal
Magic fans may not love this return. We understand. Selecting a player in the lottery only to effectively dump his salary stings.
It’s also what’s likely to happen with Bamba this season.

Still, three second-round picks are something. Moreover, Mills would be a great veteran mentor for this team to add.
