Magic agree to $84 million contract renegotiation with Jonathan Isaac

07/02/2024 06:47 PM

The Magic have had a sneaky-good offseason thus far. In addition to signing veteran shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Orlando will now retain one of its rising players for the foreseeable future.

Power forward Jonathan Isaac re-worked his deal with the team, via ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

“Orlando Magic F Jonathan Isaac has agreed on a five-year, $84 million contract renegotiation and extension, sources tell ESPN,” Wojnarowski tweeted.

Over five seasons in Orlando, Isaac has averaged 8.4 points on 44.9% shooting, with 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks across 22.2 minutes per game, although he missed over two years due to an ACL tear. The 2017 sixth-overall pick figures to be an important part of the team’s rotation as it continues to rise up the totem pole in a competitive Eastern Conference.

While Isaac’s raise will be significant, the exact terms aren’t available yet, via Hoops Rumors’ Dana Gauruder.

“Isaac had a non-guaranteed $17.4MM salary for next season, which was due to be fully guaranteed in January,” Gauruder explained. “The breakdown for the contract hasn't been made public yet but renegotiating a raise for next season using cap room would give Orlando the ability to do smaller cap hits in future seasons.”

Now that the team’s major offseason moves are most likely in the rearview mirror, what will its rotation look like next season?

Isaac will be a part of a well-balanced Magic squad
