INFLECTION POINT: Orlando Magic face PRESSURE as Jeff Weltman must reshape Orlando Magic’s FUTURE



INFLECTION POINT: Orlando Magic face PRESSURE as Jeff Weltman must reshape Orlando Magic’s FUTURE

The Orlando Magic are at a crossroads as they approach the end of their season. They are clearly moving on from their coach. But it will take more than a coaching change to right the ship and get the Magic back on track.

The pressure this summer is on Jeff Weltman to reshape the roster and be aggressive to improve the team. It is on him to turn this team from one that has focused mostly on rebuilding and focus more on players who can help the Magic win in the short term. Their window to win is now and this is a critical summer for the Magic to take the next step with their roster construction in addition to the potential for a new coach.

In the meantime, the Magic have to find a way to respond to their 52-point loss to the Toronto Raptors. How they approach their game against the Phoenix Suns will say a lot about them.

  1. Look. It's a 4 year window… I don't mind if we don't get it figured out year one. It is a young team and there's room for growth.

    But nothing I've seen this year has upset me like that Raptors game.

    Even during our rebuild from Dwight to now, I haven't seen anything that disgusting.

    If this were Europe, they'd be burning effigies outside the stadium.

    I know this team can still do good things, but if you want to talk about growth, start there.

    These dudes need to remember they represent something bigger than themselves.
