A year ago, the Orlando Magic initiated change.
For the fourth time in six years, the Magic were changing coaches. Their new management was beginning to sink their teeth into the organization and they needed a new direction. After an aimless, injury-filled season, the team fired Frank Vogel.
It brought uncertainty to a franchise that lacked direction. And really the only goal that seemed to matter was less about wins and losses and more about moving in a positive direction again. With little cap room and chance to change the roster, it felt like the 2019 season was more about restoring legitimacy in the franchise.
