Before the Orlando Magic hit free agency Friday, there was some business to do.
It started Thursday with the team picking up the team option for Goga Bitadze and declining team options for Michael Carter-Williams and Admiral Schofield.
It continued Friday before the starting gun for free agency began. The Magic opted to guarantee the contracts for Markelle Fultz and Gary Harris, locking in two starter-level players and limiting the money they had to spend in free agency. The Orlando Sentinel was the first to report the Magic’s contract decisions.
