5 questions the Orlando Magic face in season’s second quarter

Will everyone be happy in their roles?

The Orlando Magic have shifted their lineup and rotation a few times. It seems like the team is going to be active in the trade market.

For now, the Magic seem to have things working. They seem to have found some balance. But that has come at a bit of a cost.

Vucevic is producing off the bench. But he has made it fairly clear throughout the summer and even after his first game off the bench that he would prefer to be starting. Elfrid Payton has been a starter his entire career with the Magic.

Vogel said he appreciates the sacrifice those players have made and how they have responded to their new roles. As long as the team is winning, it is hard to see them being too upset for the long term.

But inevitably everything comes to a head. Winning will mask some problems, but not all.

Whether the Magic continue to accept their roles or whether the Magic feel they have to make some moves to relieve some of the pressure.

The competition for Orlando within the roster will only increase. If they hit a rough patch in the season, things could boil up pretty easily.
