The Orlando Magic are expected to let their new head coach, Sean Sweeney, evaluate Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner before deciding whether to pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @basketballtalk
“Orlando is interesting, a team on the rise in the East, but with questions about whether they have a true No. 1 shot creator and bucket getter who can get them a ring. The Magic are expected to let new coach Sean Sweeney try to figure out the Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner puzzle rather than blow it up for Antetokounmpo or anyone else, league sources told NBC Sports. However, if they decide to get in the mix, they can put together an impressive offer.”

Billy Donovan reportedly has an ‘excellent’ chance of landing the Magic head coaching job, per @JakeLFischer
Orlando is also showing interest in Jeff Van Gundy.
“While I always hesitate to frame any potential hire as the favorite for a job, since NBA matters can be so fluid, coaching insiders across the league's landscape are very much operating under the belief that former Bulls coach Billy Donovan has an excellent shot at landing the post. Sources confirmed that Donovan is in dialogue with Magic president Jeff Weltman and will have an in-person meeting with Orlando's lead executive in the near future…Orlando has LA Clippers assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy on its radar as well. The defensive guru on Tyronn Lue's staff is the brother, of course, of former Magic coach Stan Van Gundy.”

@LifeasaMagicFan I agree our defense had always dictated our offense but when you lose the locker room and our defense stinks there is barely a chance to win, I wish nothing but the best for him but we needed a change

Not happy with the outcome but it was time... He built a great defensive identity for us the past few years but his shortcomings on the offensive end were becoming too much for this team
BREAKING: The Orlando Magic have dismissed head coach Jamahl Mosley, sources tell ESPN. Mosley's tenure in Orlando finishes after five seasons, including three consecutive playoff runs from 2023 to 2026. Orlando had a first-round elimination for the third straight time Sunday.
Thank God this emotional rollercoaster of a season is finally over... If we run it back with no changes to the head coach or team is made I'm done being a fan of this team... What a complete embarrassment
