    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Power forward Fran Vazquez, beset by contractual issues with his Spanish team, created some drama when he said his chances of playing for the Orlando Magic this season were 50-50.

    But the Magic and Vazquez's agent said Sunday that they expected Orlando's first-round draft choice to be with the team for training camp in October.

    The Magic are trying to work with Vazquez's Spanish club, Unicaja Malaga, to buy out the two remaining years of his contract with that organization.

    "I have got my ideas clear, but I have two more years on my contract with Unicaja, and I have to try and negotiate things," Vazquez told the media after he arrived in Spain.

    "I have to negotiate with Unicaja. I insist I have a 50 percent chance of leaving and a 50 percent chance of staying, but my agent is taking care of all that."

    Marc Cornstein, Vazquez's agent, told the Sentinel on Sunday, "Fran will be there for training camp, sure."</div>

    This is good news. I wonder if he will be playing in the Summer League because he can get some good experience there.

    It doesn't look like he will have the buyout done by the beginning of the summer league. He might be able to join us for the end of it, but even if he did, he wouldn't be very effective.
