I've tweeted this ? To a few people and haven't gotten a response.

The deal as reported makes zero sense, if Orlando is simply going to waive Warrick. Orlando should have just waived Josh and saved a couple hundred thousands.... Thre has to be a valid reason somewhere that we don't know about... Maybe the Bobcats included cash to even the trade out thus being cash neutral for the Magic and we get a 30 game look out Josh.

Josh could be a poor mans Mullens and if the price is too high for Mullens, Maybe Josh is the fall back option and we wanted 30 games to try him out and see him everyday in practice against

Who knows?
