The Orlando Magic had a lot of work to do this summer in free agency. Did the Magic accomplish their goals and fill out their needs? I answer your questions.

The Orlando Magic said they would spend. When they traded Tobias Harris for Brandon Jennings and Ersan Ilyasova, that was the definitive promise. They certainly spent.

In comes D.J. Augustin, Jeff Green and Bismack Biyombo in free agency. Serge Ibaka is in with a trade. And Evan Fournier is back with a new contract. Out goes, well, a lot of people and players.

Free agency has already changed the Magic completely. The roster is nearly complete and there are certainly more questions remaining. And some major questions about where the Magic are headed for the short term and the long term.

Those questions seem very universal. A lot of the issues entering the offseason seem somewhat unresolved.

Way back at the Draft Lottery I asked for your questions to prepare for the offseason. I answered the first batch of questions before the Draft, hoping to save the free agency questions for before free agency. Free agency has obviously come and gone.

Like I said, though, many of the same questions still remain. So perhaps there is still something to learn in the questions asked back then. Apologies if the setups seem stale.
