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.
