30 days / 30 teams: Orlando Magic

Constantly advancing thanks to arrivals Franz Wagner IT Paolo BancheroOrlando was interfering with 2024/25 in his swing. Injury to their main players.

But the magic was not satisfied in hopes of getting married to be reduced. While the East is depopulated with many stars left or aside, Franchise Florida found its third thief to have Desmond Bane. Excellent operation, which could give Large ambitions 7. In the east last season.

Desmond Bane comes to monitor Banchero – Vagner Duo and bring an additional offensive option in the team in difficulty in this sector. Tandem closered the five best duos in the cumulative points per game (50.1, 6. in the NBA), but primarily has been bored by a huge majority of responsibility in the attack with 47.5% of the team points. The problem is that when your two leaders have almost 60 missed games between them, and your next two best arrows, Jalen Suggs IT Mo WagnerThey could only take part in 35 and 30 matches, your chances are necessarily drastically limited.

The magic now hopes that this bad happiness will put behind, even if desmond Bane is not known either in its trability (missing 26 matches on average during the last three seasons). Former Grizzlies must be the disappearance of this team, thanks to its ability to create, for themselves and for others, in the team Without a real classic leader. The problem that the leaders also partially resolved by signing Tius JonesOne of the safest guards in the NBA. External footage, one of the main shortcomings of coach meetings Jamahl Mosleyshould strengthen desmond bane but also draft Jase Richardson.

Summer seems to be successful, especially because the departures recorded should not leave Orlando with too much regret. The only unknown is that the bench will have to lift on the occasion despite its youth. Anthony Black expected to take over from Cole Anthony as the main sparkle in scoring, while Tristan to Silva, Jett Howard, Jase Richardson or Frenchman Noah Penda are less than 25 years.

The nucleus of players who are now well known to recruits falling on the main limits of the squad? The magic has A good problem to the east.

Summer movements

Arrivals: Desmond Bane, Jamal Cain, Tius Jones, Jase Richardson (draft), Orlando Robinson (two-way), Noah Penda (Draft)

Departures: Cole Anthoni, Kentavious Caldwell-Papa, Gary Harris, Caleb Housan, Cori Joseph

The player following: Desmond Bane

He will not be the first or second option in Orlando, because it is so regularly in recent years in Memphis due to injuries. But Desmond Bane needs to be easily moved in Orlando, because its qualities fit perfectly with magic needs.

Kentauvious Caldwell-Pope experiment, which was ideal 3 and D for young ambitious outsider, came to the end because KCP never found its address in Florida. This is all that desmond bane can bring, with its 41% career of 3 points and with significant quantities. It should benefit from what is more space, if not more, with Banchero, Wagner, and even suggs, as well as in Memphis with a goat jackson jr.

The solid defense counsel and reminder creator (5.5 and 5.3 helps per game in the last two seasons) should play a major role. The magic did not hesitate to sacrifice several drafts rounds to get it, and that must be a lack of lack of conference.

Average age: 25 years old

Pairoll: $ 207.2 million (10.10)

Ideal scenario

The 2024/25 season must be just an accident, guilt too much injuries, which almost no franchise would be able to absorb without logical to fall into the level. 2023/24, Magic finished the fifth at the eastern conference with 47 wins, one less than cavalit (fourth) and two less than dollars (3). It should be an Orlando floor here. Since then, Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs, further acquired the country. And the arrival of Desmond Bane further raises the average level of initial five.

Paolo Banchero is still only 22 and should only improve. The same scenario for Franz Wagner is also sharper and more complete every season. As long as Jalen Suggs returns well from the knee injury and the influence of Desmond Bane helps their teammates find more space and efficiency, the magic could then have one of the five most interesting major in league.

With an attack expected to bring (great?) Progress and defense still as physical and suffocation, there are many reasons to believe in the home advantage to start playoffs.

The worst scenario

Stronger on paper, this magic will primarily depend on its ability to be complete. Last season expected five years could only play six games together … and for disappointing results (+/- from -2.8). Jalen Suggs and Mo Wagner would already be missed for continued season. The bench should be called and will need to raise to the tempone as last season, despite his rejuvenation.

Integrating Desmond Banea In addition to two players who need the ball as much as Paolo Banchero and Franz Vagner will need some adjustment. And they are considered, many people saw Kentauvi Caldwell-Pope as almost perfectly with that team, for the results we know. In the seized Eastern Conference, not climbing the hierarchy would be a real failure for magic.
