The Orlando Magic have waited patiently in free agency. They have bided their time and kept very quiet. With little cap space to work with and some difficulty moving players around, the Magic were always going to be a bit more constrained this summer.
Even as the free agency moratorium ended Thursday, the Magic had not made any moves to change the team or transform the roster. That seems odd for a 29-win team.
It is the situation Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman has found himself in. Instead of rushing headlong to free agency to rescue the roster, he has promised to take the long-term approach and view.
