Magic Starting 5: Jonathan Isaac Trade on Horizon?
1. ISAAC TRADE COMING? "Isaac is only 25, but all those absences have led to more than enough questions about his long-term health to necessitate a trade," Bleacher Report writes."
2. WE WERE FOOLED! “Betrayal, especially in basketball, is a strong word," Petrucci said. "Situations like this happen, and personally, I’m used to it. But he fooled us. We were planning a great commercial strategy for him. Now, we need to turn this disappointment into positive energy. I’m sure our coach will be able to do it.”
3. AGENT ZERO SOUNDS OFF “Who you gonna take with the No. 6 pick Orlando? BATES! Him, Paolo [Banchero], and the two guards I got? Man, come on, man,” Arenas said on his podcast.
4. ROOKIES SUMMER LEAGUE FIT "I think the way in which they fit in, their ability to adapt to the game," Mosley said. "But just like they've talked about, being able to compete at a high level.
"How do they impact winning the defensive side of the floor, but then they go to the other side of how do we make quick decisions. And they both obviously defend at a high level, so being able to share, move the basketball and how do they get accustomed to their teammates?"
5. SUMMER LEAGUE COUNTDOWN The Orlando Magic is 10 days away from the Las Vegas Summer League, where rookies Anthony Black and Jett Howard will debut for the team. Coverage begins on July 8 at 5:30 p.m. on ESPN.
