Rodney Hood could be a free agent target
After increasingly focusing on youth in recent years, the Orlando Magic are unlikely to be among the major players in free agency. However, they will still target experienced players that can help improve the roster, and Bleacher Report's Dan Favale believes Rodney Hood could be a target:
Carrying free-agent holds for Nikola Vucevic and Terrence Ross leaves the Magic to function over the cap. They'll most likely have the non-taxpayer's mid-level exception, but that changes if it costs big bucks to re-sign the other two. Rodney Hood is a low-end solution to their shot-creation deficit.

After being traded by the Cleveland Cavaliers, Hood spent the second half of the season in Portland. During the regular season, he made 27 appearances for the Trail Blazers, averaging 9.6 points and 1.7 rebounds per game.
