This offseason was a unique one in the NBA. Not for the massive amount of player movement and the surprises that came with it but for the fact that a little bit less than half the league entered free agency at the same time. It was always going to be a zany summer for that reason.
The Orlando Magic were not one of the teams expected to participate. They were still digging themselves out of the cap hole they put themselves in during the summer of 2016. That spending splurge forced the team to hold onto some pretty big contracts entering this offseason.
