The Magic may have found a hidden Giannis card 👀
Sean Sweeney worked closely with Giannis in Milwaukee from 2014-18. With trade rumors swirling, Orlando now has a valuable connection to pair with its young core and treasure chest of assets.
Don't sleep on it.
Sean Sweeney has officially been named the 16th head coach in Orlando Magic history. 👏
One of the league's most respected assistants now gets his first opportunity to lead a team as Orlando looks to take the next step in the East.
The Orlando Magic are finalizing the hire of Sean Sweeney as the franchise’s new head coach ✅
Sean Sweeney will remain on the Spurs’ bench through the remainder of their playoff run, with San Antonio preparing for Game 7 with an NBA Finals berth on the line 🔥
What is the latest on the NBA coaching carousel?
@BrettSiegelNBA provides the latest intel from around the league on the Bulls, Magic, Mavs, and Blazers coaching searches, as well as some other front office and assistant coach intel for other teams:

The Magic’s core four will make over $155 MILLION next season 😳
Paolo: $41.5M
Franz: $41.75M
Bane: $39.4M
Suggs: $32.4M
And Orlando still doesn’t have a head coach.
The “young team with potential” label is running out. This group can’t afford to stay mid anymore.
The Magic are reportedly interested in Jeff Van Gundy for their head coaching position. 👀
A veteran coach with a brilliant basketball mind could be heading to Orlando.
BREAKING: Jamahl Mosley has been hired as the new head coach of the Pelicans, per @ShamsCharania.
It's a 5-year contract for the former Magic head coach.
The Orlando Magic have the talent, but they still need a true floor general to take the next step.
Jrue Holiday could be the perfect fit alongside Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Desmond Bane, and Jalen Suggs to bring leadership, stability, and championship experience.
Imagine a world where Tim Duncan, Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady all wore Orlando pinstripes 👀
On the recent episode of Cousins, Grant Hill confirmed it was almost a reality.
If this went differently, the entire history of the 21st-century NBA would have been rewritten. Here are the 3 biggest butterfly effects:
🦋 The Lakers 𝟱-Peat?
The only thing standing between Shaq and Kobe and absolute total dominance in the early 2000s was the Spurs.
If you remove Tim Duncan from the West, the Lakers likely win 4 or 5 in a row.
The internal beef between Shaq and Kobe might have even been delayed, potentially keeping the most dominant duo in history together for their entire primes.
🦋 The death of the Spurs dynasty
Without Duncan, the Spurs become a solid team that never reaches legendary status.
Gregg Popovich is a genius, but without his cornerstone, there are no rings in ’03, ’05, or ’07.
San Antonio goes from a dynasty to a small market that almost had it.
🦋 A new king of the East
Before the ’04 Pistons or the Big 3 Celtics, the Orlando Magic would have owned the Eastern Conference.
A healthy Grant Hill (who might have managed his injury better with Duncan carrying the load) and a Prime T-Mac alongside the Greatest PF ever?
That’s a 60-win team every single year.
What else do you think would've happened if the Magic managed to assemble one of the greatest Big Threes of all time? 🤔
