The Orlando Magic face many questions. And things are only just starting. The OMD staff answered some questions about what we’re looking forward to.

This is it. The final week without basketball. The final weekday without basketball.

The Orlando Magic season is right around the corner. Literally around the corner. A weekend away.

The team will gather for meetings and Media Day on Monday before getting to work Tuesday for the first practice. Next week we basketball!

The Orlando Magic’s offseason has had plenty of ups and downs. It has been a strange journey for sure. The Magic reformed their roster, turning over half the roster. They traded away a former draft pick in Victor Oladipo for an elite rim protector in Serge Ibaka. They spent free agent money on veterans all with a single goal.

And that goal is plainly stated and in print now. The Orlando Magic aim to make the Playoffs in 2017. Period. Full stop.

How they will do that will be one of the driving stories for training camp this season. And then into the regular season itself.

As the players gather together for their first practice, we gathered the Orlando Magic Daily staff together to discuss the upcoming season and some of the things and players we are looking forward to as training camp begins.
