Orlando Magic

Remember how we all thought Nikola Vucevic was the only Orlando Magic big truly on the chopping block? Yeah, that’s not true. Serge Ibaka is right there with him, according to the Sporting News’ Sean Deveney: It has not taken long for buyers’ remorse to kick in. League sources told Sporting News that the Magic [...]

Nothing has changed for the Orlando Magic. They are still the NBA’s wildest roller coaster, still trying to trade for a wing, and still attempting to move Nikola Vucevic to make that happen. From ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: Orlando, according to league sources, remains focused on acquiring a proven scorer on the wing before the Feb. [...]

The Orlando Magic seemed to have a patient and well-defined rebuilding plan after finally deciding to trade an unhappy Dwight Howard in the summer of 2012.

All players are susceptible to injury, but when they hamper a great player from reaching achievable heights, it’s truly sad. That’s the story and the case with the great Penny Hardaway.

Just ask the Orlando Magic, according to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: The most substantive trade proposal generating buzz [...]

It’s one of the deepest positions, which inherently drives down the value of available point guards, yet it’s such an important position that if you don’t have a starting-level stud at your disposal, you should be willing to mortgage the farm to get one. Enter Goran Dragic, [...]

It’s going to be a busy month-and-a-half for the Orlando Magic. Three games under .500, with an inconsistent defense, Orlando will be one of the most active teams leading into the February trade deadline. And every remaining member from last year’s core is available, with the exception of Aaron Gordon, according to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: [...]

Mario Hezonja’s days with the Orlando Magic could be numbered. The soon-to-be 22-year-old sophomore, who was the fifth overall pick in the 2015 draft, has basically fallen out of head coach Frank Vogel’s rotation. He has tallied nine DNPs and is barely averaging 10 minutes per appearance. He has played a total of eight minutes [...]
