Largely because losing grew old, so has the Magic's roster.
The Magic have aged before our very eyes, thanks to four new players. By the second week of next season, forward Jeff Green will have turned 30, shooting guard Jodie Meeks 29, point guard D.J. Augustin 29 and power forward Serge Ibaka 27.
The Magic had to scrap their youthful rebuilding plan after being unable to land a cornerstone player in the draft. Of the aforementioned group, Ibaka was acquired in a trade and the rest through free agency.
