He gets paid nearly double his salary from last season after spending six seasons with the Orlando Magic

Jake Fischer: Very cool for Nikola Vucevic to go back to the Magic. He told me three years ago he wanted his family to live in Orlando upon retirement. And we know the Magic are expecting Moritz Wagner to depart the franchise this week, likely to Brooklyn.

They were reportedly interested in Mitchell Robinson but the Nets also are expected to show strong interest in Orlando’s Mo Wagner in free agency, per sources. Brooklyn obviously wouldn’t sign both Robinson and Wagner.

Word is that the Clippers are also among the teams that have expressed trade interest in Orlando's Goga Bitadze. The Stein Line has since learned, though, that the Magic have rebuffed inquires for the Georgian big man to this point. It appears that Orlando wants to retain Bitadze in part because it is bracing for the loss of Moritz Wagner, brother of Magic star Franz Wagner, in unrestricted free agency.

Sources say Moritz Wagner projects to have multiple suitors in free agency and a willingness to play elsewhere even though his brother Franz obviously remains a Magic cornerstone.

Jason Beede: The way the #Magic out-rebounded Minnesota 58-37 really stood out to me. Paolo Banchero led the team with 15 boards, but four others (WCJ, M. Wagner, TDS and Penda) had at least six rebounds. Overall, 10 players grabbed at least two for Orlando.

Demin’s opinion carries weight because he is an example of the loophole that players like Bailey and Bediako are saying is unfair to them. Current rules allow players such as Demin, who played professionally in Europe for Real Madrid, to come to the U.S. and play in college. Franz and Moritz Wagner both played for Alba Berlin before playing collegiately at Michigan. The same opportunity has not, traditionally, been afforded to American players who played in the NBA or G League. “I just feel like there’s a reason why they call you a pro,” said the Grizzlies’ Jaylen Wells, who played at both Sonoma State and Washington State. “And when you’re in college, you’re not a pro.”

Jason Beede: Update: The #Magic say Moe Wagner is OUT today vs. Memphis in London due to left knee injury management.

In fact, Berlin native Moe Wagner of the Magic told SBJ he would even be willing to play for NBA Europe once his NBA career concludes. “One-hundred percent,” Wagner said. “Obviously, I don’t know where my life goes -- I’m not the only one making decisions in my household either. But I’m not opposed, I’m very intrigued by it, obviously from a financial perspective, but I also think Europe has so many great cities. That’s one of the biggest strengths there. Milan looks totally different than Paris, and Paris looks different than Germany and in America everything looks the same almost. So there’s a huge potential for a league there to grow and I think even a lot of Americans would love it there.”

The Orlando Magic have upgraded Moritz Wagner (left knee injury recovery) to available for Sunday's game against New Orleans. Wendell Carter Jr (right hip strain) and Jonathan Isaac (illness) are now questionable.

Jason Beede: At the event, I asked #Magic guard Desmond Bane about the return of Moe Wagner, even though he hasn’t played with him before: “Everybody’s told me about the energy and the swag that he plays with and brings,” Bane said. “So, I can’t wait to share the court with him.”
