This video looks at the Orlando Magic and how they are building something special by getting Tristan Da Silva and Kentavious Caldwell Pope to surround Paolo Banchero
Wish Magic fans could see how solid this off-season but most just wanna cry because we didn't get the flashy names. That Jonathan Isaac signing is an INSANE steal.
Practical basketball fans have seen Magic's growth YOY. We are so accustomed to seeing star players speed date that we have conflated player development with being stagnant. Paul George would have required a max contract and there was no room with Paolo/Franz. Klay has an injury history and KCP is a better option in terms of cost, age and defense. This has been a measured approach to a budding franchise and no sophisticated NBA insider would deny the Magic are a top four seed in the east barring injury. If PB, FW and JS take the next step you could argue they are a potential two seed.
Kept the players who contributed to a 47 win team. Moved the starting two guard to the bench. Added a 2x Champion Starting 2Guard. Drafted an upgrade over Chuma Okeke. Magic had a solid if not “sexy” summer. Maintained cap flexibility, kept draft picks, and traded 0 young guys. This is the type of “boring” summer you want your front office to consistently have.
Boy this was the start of something special I'm telling you. I'm a Lakers fan so I know how important kcp is to A solid team. I really believe in 2 seasons you guys will be top 2 top 3 in the east
I wish they had gotten Klay (coming from a Warriors fan), and I can't deny that KCP was probably the better pick-up for Orlando at the stages both of those players are at right now.
We are gonna be tough to beat next year. 2x Champ KCP is an elite 3&D player + Paolo, Franz, Suggs, Black getting more experience and training into their roles. They’ve experienced competitive playoff games. Combine that with great regular season success and you have a team that can sneak into the top 4 and getting to the 2nd round
I'm glad we didn't get Klay and Paul George and the reason that is because they wanted too much money. I love the way the front office is handing the money and picking the players to come to the magic. I'm so happy that they bringing the players back from last season and add a new players that fit the team. We have to be patient and let these guys develop their game and show us what they can do before letting them go. That's the way you build a champion team. Orlando magic keep doing what you doing you is all right in my book!!!

Jonathan Isaac IS A PERMANENT ORLANDO MAGIC! yes boyyyy!

they need to steal afernee simoms frm blazers and this offseason would be special
Magic will have the #1 D now and have more scoring. We only finished three games out of 2nd in the East.
People don’t even know the 2 lottery picks we stashed last season will be unleashed this season. Future dynasty
The only thing I think we’re missing is a ball handling playmaker like a tyus jones
KCP we will miss him in Denver! Grats on the bags you are making in Orlando - wish you much success!
You know who I love on the Magic team? Weltman, Hammond and Mosley!
YOUNG Orlando Magic playoffs contender now 💪🔥💪

This is a well made video. Nailed every point with great editing. Liked and subbed. You know ball, sir

They were fun to watch too!

Do We need a shot blocker ? The cavs killed in the paint in that play off series.
