It looks like Luka, Potter and Lewis have been voted off the island.
Glad my votes joined the obvious consensus here. I was disappointed that Walker wasn't there for me to not vote for.
I'm quite certain his career will end without him ever intimidating another NBA big.
Boy is just hard wired too soft for this league.
Yurt will never have the lateral quickness required on defense. I'm glad we got to know him and wish him well but Naz Reid is the droid I seek

Not really unless it’s extreme… opinions on this vary greatly but if he lost 15-20 bad lbs I think it make him quicker more explosive. He’s very skilled… not all of his skill is based on girth like some will tell you.

If Lofton lost some lbs. it would help the wear and tear on his joints and tendons.
I really don't understand voting for Yurtseven at all.
He's a dime a dozen 3rd string center. I'd rather have someone with some sort of upside. Goga Bitadze would fit that description for me.

Bitadze has a level of feel that puts him a cut above a Yurtseven.

He gonna get favors money in teh offseason.
You think? Can Orlando afford to pay him? His minutes aren't there with Isaac playing. I'm not sure what the big man market is in the off-season.
Claxton/Jonas/Drummond/Hartenstein/Bitadze
That has to be the top 5? Got some significant big men rookies coming in in Sarr/Edey/Clingan who could all get immediate minutes.
I'm not sure how high I would go on him.

Somewhere between taxpayer MLE and regular MLE. It won’t be Orlando if it’s closer to MLE. Likely 7-8M a year if he stays.

Claxton and Ihart will get 15ish per year. JV I’m not sure. Drummond gets taxpayer MLE or bae somewhere.
I don't think there is any chance that he is back with the magic. He is going to look at places that can give him a good shot at consistent backup minutes. Washington makes a ton of sense because they could just be looking for value and there is a path to possibly start there rather than coming off the bench. Memphis could also be a good landing spot for him if they don't take Clingan with their 1st.
Yurt is 26, not good, and his archetype is non-desirable.
I don’t think Juzang is that great either, but he just turned 23, played well, and has potential to fill a valuable archetype. Wouldn’t be too mad if we lost him though.
Lofton, no brainer. If he improves his skill level he can be a fantastic system fit as an offensive big off the bench + has the favorable deal.
Bazley, don’t really care too much if we lose him….but favorable deal gives him advantage.
Dunn is also a no brainer, our second best guard this year. Hopefully we have goodwill with him and he signs a long term, low money contract.
The rest are not worth speaking of.
We have 8 guys on deals. Lofton and Dunn would make that 10. 3 draft picks (if we use them all) + Juzang and Bazley would get us to 15. Juzang and Bazley can go if we are actually able to sign free agents/need those roster spots.

To a small degree I think it makes a little difference what direction we go this summer. If we sign/trade for some win now pieces then maybe we want some cheap end of bench guys. I would pick: Dunn, Yurt, Juzang, Bazely. Most likely we are looking for guys that have a chance to be developed in to something more. With that premise you might go with Lofton, Bazely, Lewis, Juzang

We've had worst 11th players than Juzang, Yurt, Lofton, Potter, Dunn or even Bazley... I would't mind 4 of them being 11 to 14th dudes.
It's the other 10 that matters more.
