The Orlando Magic will have their final year of affiliation with the Erie BayHawks this coming season. It has been a productive relationship for the team, albeit one that has been somewhat incomplete.
The Magic have wanted to have a solid one-on-one relationship with a D-League team as a means to developing young players and somewhat to park players that need some playing time somewhere close.
The Magic have used Erie to get Devyn Marble some playing time, keep several players close in their system, eventually to sign Keith Appling and get Dewayne Dedmon a game on request.
