According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Magic are declining Joe Ingles’ $11 million team option for next season, making him an unrestricted free agent.

Advice: While Ingles will be an unrestricted free agent when free agency opens on Sunday evening, this does not mean his time in Orlando is over. According to Wojnarowski, the two sides will continue to have dialogue on a potential agreement. Ingles appeared in 68 games during his first season with the Magic, averaging 4.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.0 3-pointers in 17.2 minutes. Given the presence of Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner, Ingles’ fantasy impact was muted last season. Rotoworld Today, 8:02 am

The Trail Blazers picked up Banton's $2.2 million team option Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Advice: Banton will return to Portland after being acquired by the team via trade from the Celtics on Feb. 8. The 24-year-old balled out in his time with the Blazers, during which he averaged 16.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.9 steals over 30 regular-season games. Banton could be in for a significant role on a rebuilding team, especially if the Trail Blazers trade away any of their veteran players. Rotowire.com Today, 7:52 am

The Magic declined Ingles' $11 million team option on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Advice: Ingles will be entering his eleventh season this year, and the veteran has bounced around while playing for three different teams in three years. The Magic are expected to negotiate a new deal with the 36-year-old in free agency, but he is now able to go anywhere he chooses without restriction. Ingles averaged 4.4 points, 3.0 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 0.6 steals across 68 regular-season games last season. Rotowire.com Today, 7:42 am

The Clippers are not expected to tender a qualifying offer for Boston, making him an unrestricted free agent, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Advice: Boston was selected with pick No. 51 in the 2021 draft, and he averaged career-highs in every major statistical category his rookie season. However, the past two years the 22-year-old was much less of a factor for the team, and he averaged 5.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 0.3 steals across 10.8 minutes in 32 regular-season games. Boston is still young, and he will likely garner interest as a player who has potential moving forward. Rotowire.com Today, 7:10 am

The Magic declined to extend Harris a $1.87 million qualifying offer Friday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Advice: Harris spent the past two seasons in Orlando after striking a two-year, two-way deal with the Magic in the summer of 2022. He appeared in 34 games for the Magic in 2022-23, but with the club becoming more competitive in 2023-24 and reaching the playoffs, Harris was often inactive and saw action in just two contests at the NBA level. Harris was solid at G League level with the Osceola Magic in 2023-24 -- he averaged 16.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 28.8 minutes per game while shooting 49.2 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from three-point range over 27 appearances -- but since he already turned 27 years old earlier this month, it's unlikely that another organization will view him as a development piece worthy of a two-way spot during the upcoming season.
