Brandon Bass Expecting Either Bigger Role or New Team Next Season

Filed under: Magic

MIAMI -- Brandon Bass isn't issuing any play-me-or-trade-me demand to the Orlando Magic. He is too nice, too soft spoken to make a pronouncement like that. It's just not his way.



This is just a gentle reminder.



"I think they'll do the right thing, whatever is the right thing -- either play me next season or send me somewhere else. That's what I'm hoping,'' Bass told FanHouse earlier this week following the Summer Groove charity game in Miami. "I won't go through what I did last season.''



Bass played very little last season, despite being signed last summer to a four-year, $16 million contract, expecting to become a consistently-used power forward alongside center Dwight Howard.



Instead, he went to the end of the bench, behind starter Rashard Lewis, and behind backup Ryan Anderson, both good shooters in an offensive system in which Bass was ill-suited to play.
