Analysis:

This move by the Magic ultimately allows the organization to get above the salary floor as they had no intent to actually utilize Copeland on the court. He has the ability to stretch the court at the power forward position, but his lack of defensive abilities has prevented him from court time in the past and will likely be the biggest determining factor in whether or not another NBA team will take a chance on him in the future.
