Dennis Smith’s shirt was drenched in sweat as he lined up at the free throw line to shoot a few token free throws for the media assembled in the practice court at the Amway Center. The first part of his hard work in front of the Orlando Magic’s staff was finished.
He would meet with the assembled media, get treatment, shower and then head upstairs to meet with the Magic for a more formal job interview.
Interim general manager Matt Lloyd was then in charge of this process. He may have to come back in to speak directly with the new president of basketball operations, Jeff Weltman.
