GAMECHANGER: BOLD move for Desmond Bane RESHAPES Orlando Magic's NBA title hopes

The Orlando Magic promised to make a bold win-now move to boost their chances in the Eastern Conference. They delivered, acquiring Desmond Bane in the first major deal of a busy offseason. Will Bane give the Magic the offensive boost they need to vault into Eastern Conference contention?

This is a clear win-now move. But it is also a move that shows the Magic believe in and are following their philosophy to find defensive-minded, high-IQ players. Bane checks many of the boxes the Magic likes, even if he is not the player everyone thought the Magic would target.

Will this aggressive move end Orlando's 12-year offensive struggles and launch them into the NBA's elite?
