Magic Acquire Bane, Select Richardson and Penda

The Orlando Magic made significant moves during the 2025 NBA Draft and offseason, including selecting Jase Richardson, son of former Magic player Jason Richardson, with the 25th pick. The Magic traded the 16th pick and other assets to the Memphis Grizzlies to acquire Desmond Bane, strengthening their roster for immediate contention. They also traded up to draft French forward Noah Penda at No. 32, recognizing his defensive skills and European professional experience. Former Dayton Flyers forward Nate Santos joined the Magic as an undrafted free agent and will play in the NBA Summer League. Additionally, second-round pick Amari Williams is reportedly being traded to the Boston Celtics. These transactions reflect the Magic's focus on both immediate improvement and long-term development.
