Jalen Suggs and 2 Magic who shouldn't be back after horrific playoff collapse
Orlando Magic Daily • • sports
Key Points:
- The Orlando Magic's 2025-26 NBA season ended with a disappointing 3-1 collapse and Game 7 loss to the top-seeded Pistons, prompting questions about offseason roster changes and difficult personnel decisions.
- Jonathan Isaac, who is owed $14.5 million for 2026-27 but has struggled with limited playing time and poor shooting, is likely to be moved on from to create cap space and improve the supporting cast.
- Despite his positive contributions, Jalen Suggs faces trade consideration due to his ongoing injury issues, inconsistent shooting, and a large remaining contract of $115 million over four years.
- Moritz Wagner, hindered by injuries and roster constraints, is another candidate for departure as the Magic prioritize financial flexibility and depth at other positions.
- The Magic must balance loyalty to players connected to the community with the necessity of making tough decisions to enhance competitiveness and manage salary cap limitations.
