What Went Wrong and What's Next?
The Orlando
Magic had big hopes for this year. They wanted to win a lot of games and make
the playoffs. But things didn't go as planned. Even though most players were
healthy at the start, the team played poorly.
The biggest
problem hit when Kyrie Irving, their star player, got a season-ending
injury (Torn ACL). This basically ended any chance of making the playoffs.
Irving was paid a lot of money ($41 million) to lead the team's offense, and
without him, they just couldn't score enough. Other good players like PJ
Washington, Naz Reid and Keldon Johnson tried their best, but it wasn't enough to fill
Irving's shoes. Older, experienced players like Harrison Barnes and Mike
Conley were supposed to help, but the team's struggles started even before
Irving's injury.
But it's
not all bad news for the Magic. They have some exciting young players
who got a lot of playing time this season. Guys like Ayo Dosunmu , Ochai
Agbaji ,Ziaire Williams and Peyton
Watson gained valuable experience. Their growth will be key for the team's
future. The Magic also still have a solid draft pick this year, which
means they can add another talented young player. Recent rokkies like Kyle
Filipowski, Reed Sheppard and Nikola Topic also show a lot of
promise.
Money-wise,
the Magic are in a good spot. Most of their main players are already signed up
for next season, which gives them stability.
Now, the
big question for the Magic's management is: What should they do next? Should
they stick with the same team, hoping they play better with a healthy Irving? But
when will Irving be available again? It is expected that Irving will take his
player option with his injury situation. And what will be with the player
option of Naz Reid? Both need to make a decision until end of June. Should Ziaire Williams stay with the team? Or
is it time to make big changes to the team to truly reach their
potential? The choices they make this summer will really decide what kind of
future the Orlando Magic will have.
