Orlando Magic
Covers the 6 tracked contracts at the top of this cap sheet — not the full 15-man roster · methods →
ORL carries $125M of tracked production (8th of 30) against $205M of true cost, netting −$80.1M of surplus (18th of 30).
Franz Wagner carries −$26.3M of negative surplus on $224M across 5 years. It grades "needs-sweetener" — the front office's biggest lever is finding the exit before the term shortens the buyer pool further.
Weighted profile led by roster quality (75/100).
$125M of tracked production ranks 8th of 30 tracked teams.
$137M committed at the first-apron tier — limited tools.
−$80.1M of aggregate surplus ranks 18th of 30 tracked teams.
Blend of 75th-pct production now and 42th-pct surplus to build on.
40% of spend sits in negative-surplus money (moderate concentration).
1 positive-asset contract plus constrained cap sheet.
ORL carries $125M of tracked production (8th of 30) against $205M of true cost, netting −$80.1M of surplus (18th of 30). That profile reads win-now: an overall C-grade roster (58/100) whose defining trait is roster quality (75/100).
Paolo Banchero is the surplus engine: +$2.2M on $15.3M, 7.2 marginal wins of production.
Franz Wagner is the drag: −$26.3M under water on $224M still owed over 5 years.
