Magic Starting 5: Chris Paul Trade Idea
"Paul, 38, would be the oldest player on the roster by nearly a decade, but his track record proves that he helps make teams better. The New Orleans Hornets, Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder and Suns have all improved during Paul's tenure with the team. He could definitely do that for the Magic as well."
"The Magic has a hole at the center position, with Wendell Carter Jr. starting but no legitimate option to back him up. Goga Bitadze has a team option for this season, and Moe Wagner is a free agent, but Lively could be a better option long-term."
3. JAMES BORREGO TO PELICANS
A former member of the Orlando Magic coaching staff has a new job.
According to ESPN, Borrego is becoming the associate head coach for the New Orleans Pelicans, joining Willie Green's staff.
Borrego coached with the Magic from 2012-15 on Jacque Vaughn's staff.
4. NBA FINALS GAME 2
After dropping Game 1, the Miami Heat look to leave the Mile High City with a split and seize momentum in the series. However, Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets have yet to lose at home this postseason and will look to keep that streak alive.
Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. on ABC.
5. DRAFT COUNTDOWN
The Orlando Magic is 18 days away from the 2023 NBA Draft, where the team will welcome the newest members of the franchise.
