Jason Smith agrees to 1-year, $4.3 million deal with Magic

 he Orlando Magic have agreed to sign free-agent big man Jason Smith to a one-year, $4.3 million contract, according to Shams Charania of Real GM. Smith's agency has confirmed the news.

Smith should provide the Magic with more depth in the frontcourt behind Nikola Vucevic and replace Kyle O'Quinn, who departed for New York. He will compete with Channing Frye for backup minutes.

Smith is a perimeter-shooting big man that has struggled with injuries during his career. He has a nice mid-range jumper, but doesn't have too many other significant NBA skills. He averaged eight points in 22 minutes per game with the Knicks last season while playing in all 82 games for the first time in his career. New York deemed him expendable after agreeing to deals with Robin Lopez and O'Quinn.

Smith will also give Orlando a veteran presence, along with fellow signee C.J. Watson. He likely won't play much as Orlando shifts to a youth movement, but nevertheless has value in fill-in situations

如果魔術重點培養年輕具活動力的Aaron Gordon的話,他跟Vucevic先發,板凳可能就是Jason Smith和Frye了,魔術在高度上,並不吃虧.

但是在對抗性上,感覺這幾個長人,都不擅長「肉搏戰」,相信外線跳投的比重,在新球季的魔術隊身上,仍然不輕.

暫時,也只能這樣了,今年自由球員市場,擅長「肉搏戰」的長人,像Biyombo等都有球隊選走了.

我想到一個人,他到底傷癒了沒有? Emeka Okafor,你好了沒呀?他可是「肉搏戰」和混籃下的優質長人呢!
