Can the Orlando Magic take the next step—and what needs to change if they don’t?

Philip Rossman-Reich of Locked On Magic and Orlando Magic Daily joins Ravneet Singh to preview Orlando’s season. We discuss the importance of health, the shooting around Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, Nikola Vučević’s role, and whether Anthony Black is ready for a bigger opportunity.

We also debate potential trades involving Immanuel Quickley, Dereck Lively II, Myles Turner and Naz Reid—and why Orlando’s payroll makes those decisions complicated.

Which trade would you make, and what would count as a successful season for the Magic? Let us know in the comments.
