Category I — Sure you can have him

14. Devyn Marble, $3.1 million/ 3 years, Non-guaranteed in 2017, RFA in 2018

Devyn Marble is basically an afterthought on this team. He has moved up and down between the main roster in Orlando and the D-League roster with the Erie Bayhawks. He has played in only eight games this year after playing in 16 last year.

With his contract non-guaranteed next year, you have to ask whether Marble has a long-term future with the Magic. Or in the NBA at all. Which is unfortunate because he has shown himself capable in the D-League — 14.8 points per game in 14 games for the Bayhawks this year.

Essentially Marble is a throw-in player in any deal at this point. As much defensive potential as he has, he does not seem to have developed the offense to match to stick in the league. And it seems unlikely the Magic will keep him another year on the main roster.

13. Shabazz Napier, $8.5 million/4 years, Team Option in 2018, RFA in 2019

Shabazz Napier is trading on his name from Connecticut. Unfortunately, that does not carry a ton of weight. Napier’s heroics and shotmaking have not translated and the first round pick the Magic acquired for virtually nothing probably could not be traded away fro that much either.

The Magic picked up his team option for the 2017 season, so he has at least one more year in the NBA to prove himself.

His already low shooting numbers have decreased this season and Napier just has not found his fit in the league with either the Miami Heat or the Orlando Magic. It is just not clear what kind of player he is supposed to or going to be.

And nobody wants that, even if he is in just his second year.
