An NBA source has told the Orlando Sentinel that the Magic and free-agent power forward Brandon Bass have reached an agreement in principle for a four-year deal. At 6 feet 8 and 250 pounds, Bass shores up Orlando's frontline, which had only three players under contract as of Thursday: Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis and Ryan Anderson. Bass, 24, averaged 8.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game last season for the Dallas Mavericks. Bass was an unrestricted free agent. More to come. http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_magic/2009/07/magic-agree-in-principle-to-a-4year-deal-with-brandon-bass.html

Defends well, rebounds well, can hit his free throws. I love this guy. Now we need to add Barnes and we sure up this bench. We still have that trade exemption up our sleeves as well but word is we might hold on to it to make a move at the deadline next year!

He's just so hard to look at because his tattoos are even uglier than most of the NBA guys' tattoos. Bass will be a nice pickup too. Getting the trade exemption in the sign-and-trade was a great move too, even if they somehow don't end up using it (Isiah did this with the Knicks-- he just let the thing expire!).

Yeah, I think it expires after a year or something like that. Word is if they do end up taking advantage of the exemption it will be during the season near the trade deadline. Boozer is still dangling out there, I can't help but hope Otis gets creative and tries to make a move but I doubt anything happens.
