The Orlando Magic are in a tough spot as a franchise.

The team undertook a long rebuilding program five years ago but failed to come out of it with a clear path forward. They never won the Lottery. Many of their draft picks did not pan out the way they hoped. And when the team pushed all in — trading their young players for veterans and pushing in for free agency — they came out losers.

The team’s 29-win season was a disaster in just about every way. The Magic sacrificed a lot of their future assets to try to make that playoff run in 2017.
