The Magic Just Went All-In: Orlando Lands a Former MVP and a Superstar Point Guard to Chase a Championship.

Yes, I know many will see Franz in this deal and have pause, but in this trade Orlando gets a 2x MVP, NBA Champion, and one of the most dominant forces in the league in Giannis Antetokounmpo — paired with an elite playmaker and All-Star in Trae Young. This is not a retool, this is a championship move.

Starting Lineup becomes: PG: Trae Young SG: Jalen Suggs SF: Paolo Banchero PF: Giannis Antetokounmpo C: Goga Bitadze Or several other options with Giannis's ability to play C and Banchero can play PF.

Orlando still has depth, albeit reduced and will need to refill with 2nd round picks and find role players. Orlando creates Cap Space to handle the Max they will need to sign Banchero to.

Short recap for the other teams involved: Miluakee immediately reloads with Franz, Knecht, and Isaac. Since they don't own their own picks, moving Giannis has to result in them still being competitive. They also recoup draft picks.

Los Angeles: This is a similar trade to what the Lakers tried doing to bring in Mark Williams. They get Wendell Carter instead and also recoup a good spot up shooter in Caleb Houstan
