This is an oddly positive take on the Orlando Magic. One that comes from a perspective outside of the bubble Magic fans live in.
Yes, the Magic have been through a four-year rebuild that has yet to yield a Playoff berth. And yes, fans and ownership are impatient as the Magic have experienced the longest playoff drought in franchise history. But there is something to this notion the Magic still have some decent flexibility.
But Woo is also absolutely correct. Regardless of whether the Magic make the Playoffs or not this year (or who is in charge), the next moves the Magic make could very well set the franchise’s path for much of the next decade.
