Reviewing the Brandon Jennings, Ersan Ilyasova acquisition with Piston Powered

The Orlando Magic are expecting freshly acquired Brandon Jennings and Ersan Ilyasova to arrive in Orlando on Thursday for their first practice and are both expected to come off the bench for Friday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks.

There has been plenty of hand wringing and head scratching over the decision to trade Tobias Harris, but what is left is 30 games left in this season and two new players to integrate into the team.

Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said when discussing the trade Tuesday in an introductory press conference that the team was looking for some veteran leadership and poise entering the stretch run.
