The Orlando Magic have weathered injuries that would have crippled many teams. With hefty contract extensions for Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs set to kick in next summer, and a max deal for Paolo Banchero likely on the horizon, the Magic need to be strategic. Holding steady might be their best short-term move, but they could also consider capitalizing on Cole Anthony's recent surge in value. With the Magic's offense languishing at 29th in the league, even their stout defense may not be enough to carry them through a playoff series.
