Magic Starting 5: LeBron James, Son Bronny to Orlando in 2024?

The Magic Insider lists five of the biggest NBA storylines in addition to relevant Orlando Magic news and analysis.

1. LEBRON TO MAGIC?

"After LeBron James won the NBA championship in the Disney World bubble in 2020, he vowed never to sign with the Orlando Magic in free agency.

"You gotta understand every time I hear 'Orlando', I get PTSD, I was in the bubble for 95 [days]," James said in an appearance on HBO's 'The Shop' in 2021. "They have no chance [of signing me in free agency]."

"Yes, absolutely zero chance, but what if the Magic enticed him with drafting his son Bronny in the 2024 NBA Draft?"

2. FRANZ WAGNER BEST PLAYER IN ORLANDO?

"This season, Wagner has certainly shown more signs that he can be a future All-Star in the league someday. He is averaging 18.9 points while shooting just over 48 percent from the floor and 36 percent from beyond the three-point line."

3. MAGIC POTENTIAL DRAFT PICK INVOLVED IN SHOOTING?

"Alabama freshman standout Brandon Miller, a projected top-5 pick in this year's draft, brought the gun used in the killing of a woman near campus in January, according to Tuscaloosa police testimony on Tuesday."

4. THURSDAY'S GAMES
