This offseason was a critical one for the Orlando Magic.
The team stood at somewhat of a crossroads.
They had just made their first playoff appearance since 2012. But some of their main contributors to that success — Nikola Vucevic, Terrence Ross and also Khem Birch were free agents.
In the cases of Terrence Ross and Nikola Vucevic, both players were going to command lofty contracts that would financially bind this team in the long term.
Orlando had to choose whether to bring these guys back or let them walk for next to nothing.
