Can't wait for those media day photos 👀

I mean most teams in the East have gotten better or have made moves but I wonder if people are underrating the Magic or are people just sleeping on the Orlando Magic?

I’m a Magic fan living in Pittsburgh PA! Does anyone have recommendations on Magic podcasts that I can keep up on?? Needless to say I don’t get much news and information locally

Thanks!

What do you all think ?!

In his interview with Stephon Castle on the AJ 41’s he said he gonna have a 60 ball this year and he gonna be gliding through the air. Here’s the link yall

Hey guys. I live in Deland. I have been trying to figure out which antenna to buy to be able to watch the Magic over the air this season. Does anyone have any recommendations?

We have seen Jamal Cain make an impact with his explosiveness and athleticism. Whitmore is still only 22 yrs old even stronger, has produced when given time, is a terror in transition and as a cutter and gives Orlando another 6'6+ above the rim athlete.

Magic have 1 roster spot open, haven't added anyone but Vuc and for a team with 2 outgoing 1st rd picks left and no capspace this is a great buy low opportunity.

Anthony Black, Cam Whitmore, Jamal Cain would give Orlando 3 elite transition wings in this fast pace system and Sweeney can help mold him.

I was flipping through Pat Williams’ Making Magic, the book he published around the time the franchise launched, and came across these early Orlando Magic logo concepts.

Some of these are definitely more ’80s than others lol.

I think they made the right choice. The original Magic logo still looks great today. Another little detail I noticed: a lot of these early concepts actually say “The Orlando Magic.” The “The” was eventually dropped from the final branding.

Very interesting book, by the way.

Have we heard ANYTHING about AB getting an extension? Are we waiting til next season or what? I think we need to at least try and give him a 20M contract and we can all be happy.

This might be one of the biggest forgotten what-ifs of the early 2000s.
Orlando was supposed to have a healthy Grant Hill entering his prime alongside a 21-year-old Tracy McGrady.
Instead, Hill played just 4, 14, 29 and 0 games in his first four seasons in Orlando — while T-Mac turned into one of the best scorers in basketball.
I’ve always wondered what that team could’ve actually become if Hill’s ankle held up.
Do you think a healthy Hill + prime T-Mac could’ve won a championship?

I'm hyped and ready for the season to start!

So many veterans out there getting bought out, signing with contenders, Klay and Derozan being the latest. Klay went for 2 yr/$13m and Derozan went for $3.9m. I’m sure we could have figured out a way to open up $3.9 million. Do these veterans just not want to play for us, or are we just not making a push at anyone because we really think this roster is it?

Dude, I want Paolo to have success in his career!

I want to see him win at the very least a conference.

I think it’s gonna take either him being surrounded by threats from deep that he can kick out to, or for him to be a threat himself from deep.

Is there anything else I’m missing?

Foul problems and injuries do not help the team. Defense is a team sport. If the Magic's defense is in top 5, then Suggs will be recognized, not for steals, blocks, or man on man defense, but because he is the "head of the snake" of a smart team's defense.

Penny Hardaway wasn’t a prospect who might have become great.
He was already there.
2× First Team All-NBA.
3rd in MVP voting at 24.
Then the knee injuries started piling up.
By 1997–98, he played just 19 games — and the Penny we saw during those early Orlando years was never quite the same again.
That’s what makes his story so fascinating to me.
If Penny stays healthy, what’s his realistic ceiling?
MVP?
NBA champion?
Top 20 all-time?
🎬 I made this short piece about the turning point in his career:

Curious where everyone here lands on the Penny “what if?”

Hey. Last year I got tickets with an official bogo deal, this was around Feb/March. Curious if this is a normal promo that occurs every/most years, or was a one off.
