- The host expects no trade-deadline deals; Goga may be dealt. The Suggs–Black decision likely waits until the offseason, and the Magic will mostly stand pat. at 29:43
- Host prediction: Goga Bitadze, not Nikola Vucevic, is the primary backup center because the Magic value defense over offense. That makes them less keen to trade him. at 30:38

- Bitadze has been the first center off the bench in every preseason game. With Vucevic out, he had 14 points on 5-for-7 shooting, 4-for-5 free throws, 6 rebounds and 5 fouls. at 30:07
- Host prediction: if defense is the priority and offense isn't an issue, Bitadze will be the backup center. The host also said that if Vucevic misses the rotation, it will be because his defense has slipped. at 31:50

The host says it would not shock him if Jase Richardson played ahead of Jevon Carter. But because he senses the Magic will value defense, he 'kind of think[s]' Carter and Goga Bitadze will be the backup point guard and backup center for much of the year, leaving Richardson and Nikola Vucevic on the bench.
