The local experts from the Locked On NBA Channel kick off the Locked On NBA Squad Show East by breaking down which team the Eastern Conference runs through after major injuries to the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers. Join Nick Angstadt, Tony East (Locked On Pacers), Gavin Schall (Locked On Knicks), Philip Rossman-Reich (Locked On Magic), David Ramil (Locked On Heat), and a cameo from Matt Moore (Locked On NBA) as they debate if the New York Knicks or Cleveland Cavaliers are the true favorites, analyzing their playoff track records, roster upgrades, and coaching changes. The conversation explores how Orlando Magic, with Desmond Bane, fits into the East's hierarchy, and whether the Atlanta Hawks’ revamped roster can climb into the contender tier. They also discuss Milwaukee’s current scenario with Giannis Antetokounmpo and if a mid-season trade is possible, consider the competitive outlook of other squads like Detroit Pistons and Philadelphia 76ers, and share insights on projected playoff matchups and depth across the conference.

There is not much intrigue in training camp over roles and rotation. The Orlando Magic know who their nine- or 10-man rotation should be this season when they are healthy. The preseason has been more about establishing and clarifying those existing roles ahead of the season.There is still something to prove, however.Jett Howard has made the most of his minutes, getting some extended time with the starters and rotation players and showing signs of defensive improvement to get him a look. Jonathan Isaac is also looking healthy and more active on defense. But he still faces a lot of questions about his offensive potential.0:00 Intro: One preseason game left for Magic10:53 Jett Howard shines in preseason games15:30 Howard's improved defense and shooting20:34 Jonathan Isaac's fit and role uncertainSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

The Orlando Magic have struggled on offense for much of the last decade. The path to their improvement has always leaned on their improving on that end.So they have added key players but also changed their offensive mindset, focusing on pace and running more to improve their offensive fortunes.Their three preseason games have shown this mindset take root. They are improving on offense and have shined in the preseason. The Magic have one of the best offenses in the preseason so far. Orlando perhaps has taken a key step forward.But there are reasons for concern. The team continues to struggle from deep and continues to struggle with turnovers. These could derail all the growth the Magic have made and unravel the team's title hopes.0:00 Intro: Is Orlando Magic's offense for real?5:44 Magic's offensive improvement and potential concerns11:52 Red flags: Turnovers undermining defensive efforts18:00 Analyzing preseason performance and player adjustments23:37 Wendell Carter's strong preseason showing27:40 Jase Richardson and Jett Howard's impressive performances32:14 Evaluating rookies and two-way playersSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

The Orlando Magic are nearing the end of training camp as their preseason schedule resumes. The team is previewing who has stood out and who could be due for a larger role.It is no surprise that Tristan da Silva has been one of the standouts from training camp the past two weeks. He had a strong run at EuroBasket and has carried that momentum into camp. He was one of the standouts of the preseason opener and should have a role for the team.The other player who has gotten mentioned as a standout is Jett Howard. Howard faced a much steeper climb to get minutes for the Magic this year. There are a lot of players at his position and he has struggled in his first two seasons to establish his role.The team will get tested again in their second preseason game as the Magic get closer to the start of the season.0:00 Intro: Players standing out in training camp5:14 Tristan Da Silva's impressive growth and role9:49 Franz Wagner praises teammates' performances14:24 Jett Howard fighting for his chance19:31 Expectations for upcoming preseason games24:37 Potential player rotations and rest strategiesSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!QuoSee why over 90,000 businesses trust Quo, formerly OpenPhone.

Franz Wagner is starting to find his 3-point shot in EuroBasket. He is doing that by shooting fewer threes. For him, less might be more from deep.That is at least how it works with Germany, considering all the 3-point shooters they have on their roster. That is what the Orlando Magic are hoping to see with the addition of Desmond Bane, too.The 3-point burden on Wagner should be much less, allowing him to do what he does best and limiting this weakness from deep.Wagner is not the only one shining from deep. Goga Bitadze is also hitting threes for his national team in EuroBasket.

The Orlando Magic have a lot of players with high upsides who could shift the Magic's potential for the better. Who will step up to make the Magic championship contenders?The answer may be an unlikely hero in Wendell Carter who could be the linchpin of the Magic's defense and a good safety valve in a smaller role for the Magic.

The Orlando Magic had two major needs entering this offseason. They undoubtedly solved one in finding more shooting this summer. The other? It still feels unresolved.Orlando plans to attack their point guard problem by committee with multiple players who can make decisions and make plays on the ball. They are hoping to create enough passing and playmaking to make up for not having a true point guard.The scary part is they can do it. They added far more passing to their team that could supercharge their offense and get the ball moving more for them. It could help them find easier shots and scoring too.Will the Magic's unconventional approach propel them to new heights or expose critical weaknesses?0:00 Intro: Magic's point guard equation5:14 Franz Wagner's strengths in transition13:25 Moneyball approach to point guard position17:30 Adding playmaking with Bane and Jones26:40 Intangible qualities a point guard provideListener SurveyWe’ve put together a survey to learn more about our listeners and make your favorite podcasts even better.
