Despite a disappointing regular season, he lit up the playoffs against the Pistons, carrying his team to a seven-game thriller without key teammate Franz Wagner. But with coach Jamahl Mosley gone and Orlando’s roster overstocked with high-salary talent, the Magic may be forced to make tough cuts—or trade some of their stars. That’s where the Hawks come in: while Banchero and Bane are too expensive and too tied to Orlando’s future, players like Wagner, Suggs, and rookie Black could be perfect fits for Atlanta—offering immediate impact and future upside, even if their contracts eventually become burdensome for Orlando.
