• Podcast Locked On Magic host · Analysis · Oct 14

  The host said the thesis of the Magic's offseason was that the starting lineup of Suggs, Bane (heard as "Bain"; likely Desmond Bane), Franz Wagner, Banchero (heard as "Bencario"; likely Paolo Banchero) and Wendell Carter (likely Wendell Carter Jr.) is one of the league's best.

  With Suggs back, Suggs guarded Donovan Mitchell to start, and Jace Richardson came off the bench instead of chasing Mitchell or Peyton Watson.

• Podcast Locked On Magic host · Report · Oct 14

  Jace Richardson started the first two preseason games with Suggs out, which the host found a little surprising. In this game he was the first player off the bench to replace Suggs.

• Podcast Locked On Magic host · Opinion · Oct 14

  The host said Richardson's struggles will still be on defense because he is small and teams attack him. He would rather pair Richardson with Noah Penda, Wagner and Suggs than with Vucevic (heard as "Kolovucevic") as the center behind him.

  The host says the Magic missing Desmond Bane (heard as 'Bain/Baines') was probably a bigger deal against Cleveland because they were also without Jalen Suggs and Anthony Black. He says Bane has played one game. No reason for Bane's absence is given.
