Episode Details

The Orlando Magic face a difficult offseason as they enter the tax for the first time and deal with the restrictions of being in the first apron. It leads to one inevitable conclusion: Trying to make trades and roster moves that improve the roster will be extremely difficult.

It has been well known and predicted that the Magic will need to make an inevitable decision on Jalen Suggs' future. While a trade may not be imminent, the apron restrictions the team faces could lead the team to break apart to regain flexibility and depth. And that has kept Suggs in the crosshairs all season and summer long.

Can the Magic get enough from trading Jonathan Isaac or Goga Bitadze to make a successful summer? Or will the team ned to risk breaking up its starting five to get over the hump and advance deeper into the Playoffs?
