By cutting Wafer, the Magic take $1.15 million and $1.27 million off their books over the next two seasons. Wafer can help a team that needs a pure scorer off the bench, although he doesn’t bring much more than individual scoring. Originally drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round (2005), he’s managed to carve out six NBA seasons. HoopsWorld

Wafer was recently deactivated and rumors began to surface that the Magic may waive him. However, Wafer’s camp hasn’t asked to be bought out and they expect the shooting guard to finish the season in Orlando. On Thursday, there was a report saying that the Italian team Milano would express interest in Wafer should he be waived. However, sources close to the Wafer say that he wants to remain in the NBA. If the Magic do decide to waive Wafer, expect him to sign with another NBA team. HoopsWorld
