Quarterback Style
The Magic will likely use the rest of their mid-level exception, left over from signing Brandon Bass to a four year, $18 million contract. Bass gets a little more than $4 million in his first year. The mid-level exception is $5.854 million a year, which leaves a little less than $1.8 million a year for Barnes.
That's what they're hoping, which would put Barnes' deal at two years, close to $3.6 million.
A year ago today, the Phoenix Suns signed Barnes to a veteran minimum contract. He made $1.2 million last year, so this contract would be an upgrade. There, Barnes, 29, averaged 10 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.
We'll have more details and reaction on Barnes later in the day, plus a look at what's next.
There have been reports that the Magic are close with point guard C.J. Watson, but no offer's been made yet for the Warriors' restricted free agent.
