Episode Details

The Orlando Magic face a lot of pressure this season to deliver on the immense promise of their roster and the high payroll they are facing. The rest of the league is circling this team as one that could be due for a big sell-off. And that includes their biggest pieces

The biggest question the Magic have to answer this season is whether the two players they have built their team around are the ones that can take them to a title.

The duo has shown growth and taken some important steps. They are good enough to compete for a playoff spot. But the Magic want more and they know their stars have to be the ones to take them there

Injuries have kept both Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner from reaching their full potential the last two seasons. But the story has often been the same when they play together and when they are separated.

Orlando is betting on these two players and a new context with a new coach helping them maximize their potential. And the Magic will have some big decisions to make if the team falls short.
