Admiral Schofield Rumors
Olgun Uluc: Admiral Schofield - a 6’5 American forward - is in advanced talks on a deal with the Cairns Taipans, sources told ESPN. He played four seasons in the NBA, and is coming off a stint with ASVEL in France, where he averaged 6.9 ppg (50% 3PT, on 3.5 3PA) and 2.0 rpg.
LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne introduced their second offseason signing. ASVEL announced that the club agreed to a 1-year deal with the 27-year-old forward Admiral Schofield.
A couple months ago after a team practice, Magic guard Admiral Schofield approached Carter about a real estate play which would allow him to earn a piece of the revenue generation of a new medical-related facility in Portland. It’s an opportunity for Carter to join other NBA players who are considering the proposal. He’s planning on working alongside Schofield as both a teammate and business partner. This also goes for another fellow teammate in Magic guard Gary Harris, who is having ongoing conversations with Carter about investing in a marijuana dispensary chain based in Arizona. “That’s the name of the game right now,” Carter said. “Guys are more hands-on now. You hear the horror stories of back in the day of [players] giving all their financial decisions and access to someone else, which [led] to stories of people stealing money and things like that. That’s a part of it. Guys are not only more hands on but want to find more ways to make money.”

This season, a record 125 international players were listed on opening night NBA rosters. Mosley is coaching six of them with the Magic: Australia's Joe Ingles, Canada's Caleb Houstan, German brothers Franz and Moritz Wagner, Georgia's Goga Bitadze and England's Admiral Schofield. Additionally, reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero is of Italian descent on his father's side. "Basketball is an international game," Mosley said. "So I'm not surprised at all. I went overseas and played against great competition internationally, and I did other things like Basketball Without Borders, and you see that talent level and the passion for the game."
Trevelin Queen agrees to two-way deal with Orlando
Jason Bedee: NEWS: The #Magic have agreed to terms to convert guard Trevelin Queen to a two-way contract, league sources told the @orlandosentinel. Queen fills Orlando’s third and final two-way spot, joining Admiral Schofield and Kevon Harris on two-way deals ahead of the regular season.
Regardless of what Schofield's role will be heading into this season, his sense of self is something he can always rely on. "There's dreams, there's expectations and there's reality. My reality is I'm a two-way player, I was drafted second round, I haven't broken through, but who's to say I won't break through," Schofield said. "This next game could be the game, this next possession could be the possession, and if it doesn't happen, just being able to say you know what, I'm going to keep going because I'm staying in the moment."
