Jase Richardson did not put up gaudy numbers in his Summer League debut, but he still stood out, making an impact in several facets. It was a good showing for him to build on as he showed his competitiveness and fire.

He was not alone as Tristan da Silva and Noah Penda also had good showings to open Summer League. The Magic have something to build on, even in defeat.

The Magic are still trying to build up their offense. They have made two coaching hires aimed at improving the defense. And some of the changes may be on display in Summer League.

The Orlando Magic got their NBA Cup group, paired with the Boston Celtics and their newest rival, the Detroit Pistons. The Magic and Pistons are coming up at the same time and figure to be at the top of the Eastern Conference this season. Their NBA Cup game in Detroit in November will be a big statement for both teams.

The Magic begin their Summer League schedule on Thursday. Everyone is excited to see Jase Richardson and Noah Penda make their Magic debuts. But the real focus should be on Tristan da Silva as he steps into a bigger role heading into next season.

Paolo Banchero signed a max contract extension signals a new era for the Orlando Magic as they set their sights on winning a title.

The rest of the league is still spending some time debating Banchero's worthiness of this max deal. At least those who are on the outside are still wondering if Banchero is at that level.

But for Magic fans there is no doubt Banchero earned his max contract and is the player the Magic should be building around and the one who has set the Magic into overdrive to deliver a championship in the next five years.

It all means the Magic's championship window is officially opened. The Magic have their superstar in place. Now they need to make good on his potential and make the climb to championship contention.

The Orlando Magic entered the offseason knowing they needed to make a big move to take the next step and climb the ranks in the Eastern Conference. They delivered in all phases -- adding a key offensive player, adding shooting and even improving their coaching staff -- to take on the challenges ahead this season.

This has been a successful offseason.

The big free agent acquisition this offseason was veteran guard Tyus Jones. What are the magic getting in him? I chatted with Ben Garcia of Locked On Suns to find out what the Suns did not get right with Jones and how he will fit in with the Magic this season.

The Orlando Magic made what was likely their final move of the offseason, bringing back Moe Wagner on a one-year, $5-million deal. The Magic get to keep a critical part of their franchise and culture while giving him the chance to prove himself and solidify his place with the team.

Bringing Wagner back was key because the Magic have begun shedding players to improve. They let a key culture player go in Cole Anthony. While it was a vital move to improve the product on the court, the Magic will have a tough time replacing the connection he brought to the team and the community.

The Orlando Magic made Jase Richardson their big first-round selection. They hope he can be a spark off the bench.

But Richardson has his own questions to answer. He likely fell in the draft because of concerns over his size, overshadowing his production at Michigan State. Can he overcome the questions and doubts and make an impact on the team.

I spoke with Locked On Spartans' Matt Sheehan to break down Richardson's game and what he brought to the Spartans and will bring to the Magic.

Will Richardson's efficiency and intangibles translate to immediate impact in Orlando?

The Eastern Conference entered turmoil on the second day of free agency as the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers made major moves that have them in retreat. The Orlando Magic were one of the few teams to attack the weakened conference and position themselves to be players atop the Eastern Conference.

Orlando sensed this was the time to attack and addressed their backcourt and shooting issues with Desmond Bane and Tyus Jones. They are now positioned to advance deep into the Playoffs if they can take it on the court.

As the dust begins to settle on free agency, the Magic should emerge in the top tier with a real chance to win the Eastern Conference.
