This has been a no-good, terrible, awful and disheartening season for the Orlando Magic.
At the midpoint of the year, Orlando is not competing for the Playoffs as many hoped — and it looked like the team might at the quarter mark — and is instead at the very bottom of the standings. The Magic are the second-worst team in the league and everyone is thinking about the Draft, it seems. The dreaded “t” word has already come out a few times.
There may be dissertations written about what “tanking” looks like for this Magic team and how the team moves forward.
