And I do think that there's other teams in the league that have a track record of doing it that way.
So I don't think it's impossible to do it.
But they need to go get that star.
So it'll be this summer where you look at guys like Giannis and Donovan Mitchell.
This team also has a lot of cap space, like sort of earmarked for the free agency of 2027, where, as we know, there's a lot of potential names there.
Then if they heat strikeout on two summers in a row at that point, bam, into his 30s at that stage, then I think we start having the more...

They did, and they are starting to look like the Orlando Magic that we expected them to look like after a slow start.
I thought what really stood out about the Magic early in the season that they weren't playing with that level of physicality, that snot factor that they just had last year that really powered their defense, and their defense obviously powered their offense.
That's back, man.

I mean, Jamal Mosley has done such a great job completely revamping the culture of that Orlando Magic team.
That is a team that is tough, that, like I said, had this little brother syndrome for years, not just in the state of Florida.
They were one of the newer franchises.
They made finals with Dwight Howard, and they've definitely had some success, but it's been a long time.
And there was always a kind of it never works out for us type of mindset with the Orlando Magic.
