The Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic won't be friends in 2025-26. Or, like, ever. The Southeast division foes both expect to make sizable leaps and potentially compete for Eastern Conference supremacy this year and for many years to come. But that shouldn't stop the Hawks from looking at the Magic as a blueprint for the question, "How much money should we offer Dyson Daniels next summer?" Right as the 2024-25 season was about to kick off, the Magic signed their own defensive-minded guard, Jalen Suggs, to a 5-year, $150 million extension.
Daniels' and Suggs' games aren't exactly the same; Suggs is a more refined offensive player at this point in their careers, and Daniels might be a tad more disruptive as a defender.
