Hezonja has said repeatedly that he adores Orlando and is open to returning to the Magic. Left unsaid, however, is an obvious reality: He must consider other opportunities, especially if another team offers him a clear path toward consistent playing time.
“It’s almost impossible to know what’s going to happen,” Hezonja said. “It’s a weird situation that is great for me. But we’ll see. I love being here, as you can see. But I really don’t know what’s going to happen.”
Kings targeting Mario Hezonja in free agency?
Steve Kyler: I continue to hear the Kings have eyes for Mario in free agency. I would imagine there are connections with Vlade and Peja.
Warlando: Mario did say he fells new FO is doing something special. Steve Kyler: Sacramento is a real and viable threat – but I do think the Magic have a chance to keep him especially if the market isn’t very robust. Its the bet on yourself scenario – cap should go up in 2019.
Warlando: why is Orlando trying to develop Mario when he’s about to leave in 2 months for another team? Steve Kyler: Keep in mind Mario could opt to stay in Orlando for another season and get full Bird Rights in 2019 – it all depends on how he feels about the situation and how much trust he has in the leadership – signing a 1-year deal gets him Veto rights.
The Kings need size on the perimeter, and a target is likely to be Mario Henzonja. The 6-foot-8 swingman was the fifth overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft, but Orlando declined to pick up his option for next season back in October. Hezonja is averaging 9.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists.
