The Orlando Magic seem to be at a crossroads this offseason.
That is how most teams feel when they do not reach expectations. In a NBA of constant change, teams that are not moving forward might as well be heading backward. There is no standing still.
The Magic faced some criticism for holding onto Nikola Vucevic and Terrence Ross and largely maintaining the same roster. But that fit with the team’s overall development philosophy.
After six years out of the Playoffs, the Magic decided staying in the Playoffs was a better way for their young players to develop rather than essentially starting completely over.
