The Orlando Magic made a strong impression during the 2025 NBA playoffs, showcasing their potential even without key players Mo Wagner and Jalen Suggs. Paolo Banchero is emerging as a star, while Franz Wagner has shown significant improvement. As the offseason approaches, discussions arise about roster upgrades, particularly with the idea of acquiring a veteran like Bradley Beal from the Phoenix Suns.

Despite a challenging tenure in Phoenix, where he averaged 17.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.3 assists, Beal's addition could enhance the Magic's chances of contention in the Eastern Conference. His experience and scoring ability would be valuable, but the complexities of his no-trade clause could complicate any potential deal.
