Kidd on the NBA coaching market after Mavericks ouster

Jason Kidd was fired by the Mavericks, opening a crowded NBA coaching market with teams like the Orlando Magic, Chicago Bulls and Portland Trail Blazers weighing candidates. The Magic, which recently dismissed Jamahl Mosley, has been linked to experienced coaches and has floated Kidd in the mix, while ex–coaches Jeff Van Gundy and Billy Donovan have also been mentioned as potential fits. Kidd’s 388-395 career record spans the Nets, Bucks and Mavericks, a tenure shadowed by upheaval in Dallas that included a controversial Luka Dončić–Anthony Davis-era move and a rough season finish after drafting Cooper Flagg.

Giannis Trade Buzz Shapes Bucks’ Postseason Plans

Giannis Trade Buzz Shapes Bucks’ Postseason Plans

New reporting indicates Giannis Antetokounmpo could steer his next destination by explicitly naming teams he’d want to play for, with the Celtics and Magic among potential frontrunners. Portland is viewed skeptically as a fit. Any deal would likely hinge on major asset exchanges for the Celtics (potentially involving Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum) and a Paolo Banchero-centered package for the Magic. Bucks owner Haslam wants a pre‑draft decision, though there’s no indication Giannis has requested a trade. Milwaukee went 32-50 last season, missing the playoffs, and Giannis’ input could influence how front offices approach a deal.

Orlando Magic Part Ways With Jamahl Mosley After Playoff Collapse

The Orlando Magic fired head coach Jamahl Mosley after a disappointing season ended with a 116-94 Game 7 loss to the Detroit Pistons, ending his five-year tenure. Despite earlier playoff appearances and a strong defensive identity, injuries to key players and an underperforming half-court offense contributed to a late-season collapse, including a historic 3-2 Game 6 deficit that sealed the fate. Replacement speculation linked Billy Donovan and Taylor Jenkins, while GM Jeff Weltman’s position appeared secure.

Magic brace for tough offseason as playoff collapse prompts roster moves

Orlando Magic wrap up the 2025-26 season after a 3-1 playoff collapse, triggering a difficult offseason focused on cap space and roster reshaping. The team is weighing moves for three veterans: Jonathan Isaac, who is owed $14.5M in 2026-27 but has injury-plagued, limited minutes and a declining role; Jalen Suggs, a positive contributor with four years and $115M left but injury history and inconsistent shooting threaten his value; and Moritz Wagner, whose injuries and crowded frontcourt (with Wendell Carter Jr. and Goga Bitadze) make him expendable to free up cap space. The goal is to improve depth and cap flexibility to better support Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner going forward.

Pistons Ready to Force Game 7 in Orlando After Cade's 45-Point Night

The Pistons head to Orlando needing a win to force a Game 7 after Cade Cunningham erupted for 45 points in Game 5; Franz Wagner remains out for the Magic and Tobias Harris is questionable for Detroit, prompting possible lineup tweaks (including Isaiah Stewart at the 4) to slow Paolo Banchero, whose hot scoring carried Orlando in Game 5 as Ausar Thompson provided tempo and ball-handling to boost Detroit ahead of Friday's pivotal Game 6.

Magic lean on next-man-up after Wagner sidelined by calf strain

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner exited Game 4 with a right calf strain and will miss Game 5, adding to a season heavily disrupted by injuries. Wagner helped push Orlando to a 3-1 series lead over Detroit, averaging 16.8 points in the playoffs, but the team must now close out without him as they weigh his long-term health. The Magic will rely on a next-man-up approach while evaluating his return.
