The Orlando Magic have zero chance of securing LeBron James in free agency or even trying to get him in a trade. We know this because he said so.
As you know, the NBA had to finish up their regular season and playoffs in Orlando, Florida due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Miami Heat in six games to win their 17th championship in franchise history.
According to Lakers Finals MVP LeBron James, he still has a little PTSD anytime he hears the name Orlando.

“I mean, that’s part of the reason I haven’t taken my daughter to Disney World. You gotta understand anytime I hear Orlando right now, I get PTSD. I was in a bubble for 95 days,” said James.
