This week in Magic talk
The shows this week kept circling Orlando's roster construction puzzle. There's debate over whether Paolo Banchero or Amen Thompson is the better foundation to build around, with questions about Banchero's fit given the Magic's cap constraints. Meanwhile, Anthony Black's contract extension and the team's overall payroll situation keeps coming up as a key factor in how the front office might reshape the roster going forward.
