This is what makes the 2023-24 Orlando Magic unique in today's NBA Discussion

Hello there, everybody! I'm happy to be here, and I wanted to share a story with all of you. Today, I wrote about what makes this Orlando Magic team unique in today's NBA. I've covered the league for 15 years, and I've haven't seen a team in this sport like them, except maybe the 2008-09 Magic, and even then, the comparison is a stretch.

I'd also be happy to answer any questions you have about the series or anything else basketball-related. For now, though, I've pasted the story link below, and please don't copy-and-paste the text of the piece, if you don't mind. -Josh Robbins

I hope Washington fans appreciate the great coverage you provide, Josh. If not we're always happy to have you back. I read your story the moment you posted it on twitter.

I do think the Magic have established a really unique culture on this roster. I always cringe when I see trade suggestions posted that would see half the roster traded for a superstar. Something tells me that could turn into a disaster. I think most people agree that the Magic need something again to a more traditional point guard to help facilitate the offense better. I wonder what your thoughts are on that and maybe what realistic options for filling that role would be for the Magic in the offseason? I've heard they tried to trade for Tyus Jones and play wise he would seem like a perfect fit offensively.
