This has been the most exciting Orlando Magic offseason in some time. For the first time since Dwight Howard left, the Magic have a clear path to the postseason and the chance it feels for sustainable and prolonged playoff berths.
Why is this the case? What has gone right this time around under Jeff Weltman that went so wrong with Rob Hennigan?
There are obviously a lot of personnel decisions and foundational franchise and culture decisions that went differently. Jacque Vaughn has turned out to be a good coach and has done much better with his second job than his first, but he was as inexperienced as his general manager when he took over the Magic.
