With the Orlando Magic reeling and falling lower in the standings in late January, everyone began to wonder if the team would dig into the D-League to find some help. Not that a D-League player is any guarantee to stick in the league or help the team. But the Magic needed help and an infusion of talent. They at least needed to try to add some depth for practice.
At the time, Orlando was still holding onto a glimmer of playoff hopes. The team needed a few extra bodies in practice, particularly on the wing. The Magic could also use some wing scoring.
