Less than 12 hours after finishing off another disappointing season, the Orlando Magic began making moves, firing General Manager Rob Hennigan, and assistant general manager Scott Perry. Fellow assistant general manager Matt Llyod, who previously worked for the Chicago Bulls for 13 years, was named the team’s interim General Manager.
Across five seasons leading the Magic, Hennigan’s teams finished with the second worst record in the NBA, 132-278.
Tasked with rebuilding the team following the Dwight Howard saga, Hennigan was given poor luck in the NBA’s draft lottery, only securing a top-3 selection once in 2013, a draft that happened to be one of the worst in the last 10-years.
