Orlando Magic Player Evaluations: Shabazz Napier

In the middle of the summer, the Miami Heat surely came to the Orlando Magic with an offer. For the price of (virtually) absolutely nothing, you will get a former first round pick who had won a national championship and had that skill the Magic so desperately needed in his shooting.

For virtually nothing? Why wouldn’t the Magic take the risk?

And so it was the Magic acquired Shabazz Napier for a second round pick that is so protected that there is virtually no chance the team will ever send it to the Heat. It was the same deal Orlando made with the Portland Trail Blazers for Maurice Harkless.
