The Orlando Magic are making waves this offseason with a new contract for Moritz Wagner, solidifying their bench with a one-year, $5 million deal after initially declining his option. Wagner, who had a groundbreaking season averaging 12.9 points in limited minutes before an ACL injury, was set to be a Sixth Man contender. Alongside his brother, Franz, Wagner strengthens the Magic's depth. The offseason improvements continue with the addition of Desmond Bane, creating a formidable trio with Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero, who is on track for a five-year, $239 million rookie max extension after averaging 25.9 points last season.

The Magic's strategic moves suggest a focus on long-term success, as they bolster their roster with young talent, indicating a potential push for playoff contention. Keeping the momentum going, the franchise is expected to extend Banchero shortly, highlighting their commitment to building a competitive team.
