Zaza Pachulia, a player the Magic hope to have on the roster next season, first must work out an overseas contract dispute before negotiating with Orlando.

Ulker, the Turkish team Pachulia played for last season, said it still owns the rights to the power forward. Pachulia, who is from the Republic of Georgia, likely will need to arrange a buyout agreement to play in the NBA next season.

The potential buyout demands of his team are unknown. By NBA rules, the Magic only can contribute $350,000 toward a buyout.

Pachulia, the No. 42 pick in last month's draft, figures to demand more money from the Magic because of the buyout. There is no salary scale for second-round selections, and Pachulia is a talent capable of earning more than a minimum contract on the open market.

If the Magic want him here next season, they likely will have to pay him a little more than the typical second-rounder, such as a two-year contract with an annual salary between $750,000-$1.3 million.
