The Orlando Magic season has not gone according to plan. Not in the least bit.
The team’s lofty ambitions have turned quickly into delusions. As Rob Hennigan announced the trade sending Serge Ibaka to the Toronto Raptors for Terrence Ross, he reiterated the team’s goal is to make the Playoffs. Frank Vogel would likely echo the same.
The reality is trading Serge Ibaka is likely a tacit admission the team’s plans for this year did not work out and they needed a new direction.
