I seem to recall the mayor announced plans to bring a D-league team here affiliated with the Magic.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

And not every NBA team has their own dedicated D-league team; several pro teams even share the same D-league affiliate.

Orlando's, by the way, is the Erie BayHawks in Erie, Pennsylvania.

The NBA has recently been trying to put an end to shared D-League affiliates, which could eventually open the door for a team in Jacksonville. New Orleans, Charlotte and Memphis all have D-League affiliates shared by two teams, so the hope is that maybe the league can convince two teams to branch off into Southeastern cities and join Jacksonville in a three-team division.

The Jacksonville Giants were actually formed with the five-year intent of becoming a single-team D-League for the Magic.

Would love to see that happen.
