Magic Starting 5: Celtics PF Grant Williams to Orlando?

1. GRANT WILLIAMS TO MAGIC?

“He is 24, he has proven his chops, on both ends,” a Western Conference executive told Heavy. “You can’t coach that kind of experience. He’s got it. He is a perfect fit there. You want to become a playoff team, he is the kind of guy they’d want. But Orlando would have to overpay to get him and it is tough to expect a team to do that. Obviously, if you are Williams, you want to see the Magic being aggressive on the market.”

2. MCW TEAM OPTION

"The Athletic anticipates that Carter-Williams won't have his $3 million option exercised. While his veteran presence and familiarity with the team is appreciated, it may not be worth robbing the spot of a younger player with more potential."

3. PAOLO AT HEAT PRACTICE

The Miami Heat is preparing for Game 4 against the Denver Nuggets, a game that it needs to win in order to tie the series.

While practicing, the Heat had a special guest familiar to Orlando Magic fans ... Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero.

The comments on the tweet had a lot of Heat fans hoping to pry Paolo down south, but the Magic will not be parting ways with the No. 1 overall pick anytime soon.

4. NBA FINALS GAME 4

After reclaiming homecourt advantage with a Game 3 win, the Denver Nuggets look to do it again against the Miami Heat in tonight's Game 4. A Nuggets win would give them an opportunity to clinch the championship in Monday's Game 5 back in Denver, making this an extremely important game for the Heat.

Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. on ABC.

5. DRAFT COUNTDOWN

The Orlando Magic is 13 days away from the 2023 NBA Draft, where the team will welcome the newest members of the franchise.

Coverage begins on June 22 at 8 p.m. on ESPN.
