Magic Starting 5: Victor Wembanyama Trade Idea
In this story:
"In return for Wembenyama, the Magic would send the 2023 Rookie of the Year and 2022 No. 1 pick (Banchero) as well as one of the team's lottery selections from the 2021 draft (Suggs)," ESPN writes. "Throw in this year's two first-rounders and that's four top-11 selections over a three-year span for the French phenom. Banchero averaged 20.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists in his rookie season."

On this day in 1995, the Orlando Magic fell to the Indiana Pacers 105-100 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Penny Hardaway led all scorers with 29 points, but Reggie Miller and the Pacers proved to be too much.
The Magic went on to win the series in seven games.
