OFFICIAL: Sean Sweeney has been named head coach of the Orlando Magic, President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman announced today. He becomes the 16th head coach in franchise history. Welcome to Orlando, Coach Sweeney! → on.nba.com/4ua3hhl

Go win a chip and then lead Orlando to the next. Can’t wait for this next chapter

@TBRaysCentral They can beat any other team’s offer for Buxton or Trout. If I’m Neander, I’m not getting off the phones until one of those two is on the roster

If DeLuca is out for a minute, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Rays looked to acquire a RH OF. They are very LH heavy in the OF right now with Simpson/Mullins/Palacios/Mesa Jr, and it doesn’t seem like they want to call up the RH OF that are in AAA right now. Bush Jr. and Henry Malloy are the only options.

The Weltman Era (2017-Present): This man has somehow survived in this league off of 2 (maybe 3) good picks in 9 years

Magic are really gonna be a 2nd-apron team with this roster…

Terrence Ross says the Magic pissed him off so bad he’s coming out of retirement LMAOOOO

Every Magic player deserves blame for that collapse. Inexcusable top-to-bottom. That said, Jamahl Mosley has GOT to shoulder this loss. Not being able to draw up a SINGLE play to generate an open look at the rim for 20+ minutes is borderline coaching malpractice On to Game 7

Just SOME of the players Erik Neander #Rays has traded away since the end of the 2022 season: Xavier Edwards - career .301 hitter with 65 SB's Kyle Manzardo - 27 HR's in 2025 Tyler Glasnow - 3.36 ERA with LA (1.69 in postseason) Luke Raley - 9th in MLB in OPS this season Amed Rosario - 9th in MLB xSLG this season Jason Adam - 75 Holds and 1.69 ERA with SD Isaac Paredes - 20 HR's in 2025 Randy Arozarena - 28 HR's and 36 SB's in 2025 Jeffrey Springs - 3-0 & 1.46 ERA 0.77 WHIP this season Jose Caballero - 49 SB's led MLB in 2025, 9 in 2026 Taj Bradley - 3-0 & 1.63 ERA this season Shane Baz - signed 5 year, $68M extension with BAL Brandon Lowe - 7 HR's (T-4th) & 13th in OPS And don't forget he traded Joe Ryan to the Twins in July of 2021 who has 48 wins, a 1.06 WHIP and 10.1K/9 in 4+ seasons there And what have the Rays gotten in return? ONE post-season run scored and a farm system that has ZERO Top 50 prospects. Erik Neadender gets the benefit of the doubt his predecessors got, without having earned it himself. @957WDAE @JPPetersonshow @iAmNickWize @RaysTheRoofTB @RaysBaseball

Thoughts on the Magic/76ers play-in game: - Paolo's jumper needs a complete overhaul - VJ is going to be such an impactful playoff player - Desmond Bane was the only consistent offensive option for Orlando - Maxey's conditioning really is one of one - Adem Bona's blocks make me jump out of my seat - Orlando desperately needs a new PG in the offseason - Andre Drummond dagger 3's you can't make that up - Orlando has to have one of the least creative half court offenses in the league

@Tjonesonthenba The least creative offense in the entire league. And that's including the 10 teams who didn't give a crap about winning a game for at least the last couple months of the season.

BA getting his flowers, love to see it

Well…guess the Magic need to keep looking elsewhere

The Magic not going after Coby White or Sexton at the deadline still haunts me

Caminero MVP watch starts now

@SportsBoyTony So you’re just ignoring these 10 other performances…yea alright…

Apparently Orlando traded those 5 picks and two players to take down the Cavs on a random night in March. Best he’s played all year by a mile

@xxBISHOPx @BeORLMagic If Penda rotates from the corner to the wing he just drags his defender into Paolo If Goga cuts/goes corner(?) now you have P5 at the FT line and 4-out. Now there’s two wing defenders right on Paolo’s hip and they don’t even have to leave their man to add pressure

@CorinFord @BeORLMagic Penda can stay/rotate to the bottom right corner, Goga can then rotate to the corner after pushing his man, Bane continues to shift around the 3pt line down to the bottom left to be an outlet for Paolo as he potentially resets in the post to force a double team

Paolo’s frustration is so valid here because wtf was Goga doing there 😭

@xxBISHOPx @BeORLMagic The play started with Goga giving Bane an off-ball screen on the wing (you can see Christie still struggling to catch up to Bane) Not sure why you’d want Goga/WCJ setting up on the wings and making cuts, and I don’t think you want Bane setting screens and crashing for alley-oops

@CorinFord @BeORLMagic Bane should be doing what Goga is doing and vice versa

A very encouraging trend for TDS

AB has had a rough stretch here post-allstar break
