They just need something to talk about in July. Paolo was a second year All Star, would have been two time All Star if not for injuries, when do those guys ever not get the rookie max?

I'm irrationally optimistic about Noah Penda. Summer league interviews everyone is talking about how hard he plays on the court and how much competitiveness he brings. Jase specifically mentioned he can guard 4 positions which is presumably something he's seen in practice. And all the answers he gives are super grounded and intentional. He mentioned he was looking forward to seeing how the NBA game is officiated differently in Summer League which is a very detail orientated thing to say when most guys say things like they want to "showcase their abilities" etc.

Talking heads are so utterly, wrong sometimes. They are piling on Paolo after the extension and forgetting somehow, that bigs with his skill level dominate the league! This years Finals where point guards were the focus obscured 75 years of the league in their heads! Large players with skills dominate basketball, case close, nuff said. There will always be a year where the exception is not the rule and having Curry win 4 times with almost perfectly constructed teams have warped gm's brains. They shouldn't have even won that last one against the Celtics but the Irish messed up and Wiggins and Poole did things they have not done since!

The Washington Wizards are trading Kelly Olynyk to the San Antonio Spurs for Malaki Branham, Blake Wesley and a 2026 second-round pick (least favorable of Dallas, Philadelphia, Oklahoma City), sources tell ESPN. Love this move for the Spurs.

I’d like to add a solid midrange game/shot!! That would make him unguardable.

What an exciting time to be a Magic fan. Let’s go!

If Franz gets to 35% from 3 it's literally over for the league.

Just here to say…. LFG!!!! Is it October yet?!

https://x.com/omagichq/status/1942646217374327033?s=46 Isaac is one of my biggest X factors. In the past i was excited for him to gain weight. But that experiment had failed tremendously last season. So him going back to being more mobile and also healthy season, i’m so excited that we might actually see the best defenders of the NBA again

Exactly! The focus should be on the winning window, and the constant reminder of how many opportunities we have had! For better than 36-37 years, we have not had many bites of the apple, so lets win NOW!

you never know, but i don’t think Paolo would do us dirty like Dwight. Especially if we are winning. I can only imagine that player option would be exercised if he’s eligible for a supermax. But for now, let’s just enjoy our upcoming winning window.

It's going to be scary especially in the last season of so, there'll be a lot of speculation. For now, we can just enjoy the moment and catch our opportunities that lies ahead.

Kind of smart from Paolo to align his timeline with Franz and Jalen. The player option is always going to be scary to Magic fans but we have this core for 5 years. If we haven't won by then Paolo would likely be requesting a trade either way player option or not. And if we do win at least one everything that happens after that is secondary to the fact that we won a championship finally.

Not loving that P’s deal includes a player option.

This just in: Breaking: Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero has agreed to a five-year maximum rookie contract extension that could reach $287 million, Mike Miller of LIFT Sports Management tells ESPN. Deal includes a player option

If there is a Herb Jones trade out there, you have to do that! Adding to this incredible defense would be awesome. That second unit defense would be scary. AB-Jones-Isaac (trimmed down) If we manage to keep Bitadze in the process?! Whhoooweeeee. Jett+TDS for Herb Jones I actually like TDS a lot. I’d do it for Herb

i wouldnt make any other trade i like bitadze way more than wcj, for the moment. wcj should become a tyson chandler type now that we have stars around him to justify his contract i would give jett 1 more season before giving up on him

Before diving into our chat with Tyus Jones and Jeff Weltman, along with video from summer league practice, I wanted to share that #Magic rookie Jase Richardson has a sore right ankle but is “progressing well,” per coach Ameer Bahhur, who added they’re “not too worried about it.”

Good read, I agree with the writer, having so much media noise around ATL and the prize being a mystery Porzingis

Guessing the Clippers are getting Beal with that trade making room for him in the rotation.

He's washed. And we don't have the space.

Kevin Love as a back up when he gets waived? I would bet 90% chance he gets waived but waits till in season to sign with someone.
