MO BAMBA SIGNS WITH SIXERS Mo Bamba has found his next NBA home.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Philadelphia 76ers are signing former Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba to a one-year deal.

Bamba played with the Magic from 2018-23 before being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in February.

DAME ASKS OUT The Damian Lillard era in Portland appears to be coming to an end.

According to TNT's Chris Haynes, Lillard has requested to be traded by the Blazers.

Among the destinations Lillard could go to is the Miami Heat, the Orlando Magic's Sunshine State rival.

KUZMA RE-SIGNS WITH WIZARDS A division rival of the Orlando Magic is bringing back one of its best players.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Washington Wizards are signing Kyle Kuzma to a four-year, $102 million deal.

BOL BOL CONTRACT GUARANTEE COMING LATER The Orlando Magic is delaying its decision on one of its free agents.

According to WKMG's Jamie Seh, the Magic has pushed the deadline for Bol Bol's contract to a later date.

Bol was set to have his contract guaranteed today along with Markelle Fultz and Gary Harris, but that decision won't be coming when free agency starts at 6 p.m.

MAGIC LINKED TO JOE INGLES According to Yahoo! Sports insider Jake Fischer, the Magic could look to sign Milwaukee Bucks wing Joe Ingles.

“Orlando has indicated it is not going to be a big spender with the team’s $21.9 million in cap space,” Fischer said. “One possible addition for Orlando: versatile veteran Joe Ingles, sources said, who could join the Magic at a dollar figure above the minimum.”

FULTZ, HARRIS CONTRACTS GUARANTEED According to Jason Beede of The Orlando Sentinel, the Magic is fully guaranteeing the contracts for Markelle Fultz, Gary Harris and Bol Bol.

Fultz had a partial guarantee of $2 million, but will now make $17 million for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, Harris had no money guaranteed, but now the Magic has kept them on board for the upcoming season.

DONTE DiVINCENZO EYED BY ORLANDO According to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto, the Magic is among the teams interested in Golden State Warriors guard Donte DiVincenzo.

"Donte DiVincenzo could land a new contract worth somewhere around the non-taxpayer mid-level exception and is drawing significant interest around the league from several teams, including the New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Detroit Pistons, New Orleans Pelicans, Houston Rockets, Orlando Magic, and Chicago Bulls, league sources told HoopsHype," Scotto writes.
