The Orlando Magic were quiet through much of the early part of free agency. With limited cap room, it seemed they were going to target some specific players and then try to scrounge the bargain bin to fill out the roster. The going thought was the team would remain young and look to strike only if a player who fit the specific long-term vision.
The Magic’s goal ultimately was to create long-term flexibility and not tie up too much long-term money.
Orlando largely accomplished those goals. Jeff Weltman struck in free agency to sign Shelvin Mack to a two-year deal (the amount is debatable as is the role the Magic are going to rely on for Shelvin Mack).
