The Orlando Magic’s last season was quite impressive, with a 47-35 record under coach Jamahl Mosley. They even made it to the Eastern Conference First Round, which is a testament to the team’s growth and potential. Franz Wagner stood out with 6.4 wins shares, showcasing his skills and contribution to the team’s success.
Looking at their overall performance, the Magic have now played in the NBA playoffs 17 times in 35 seasons, with two NBA Finals appearances in 1995 and 2009. Their franchise history is marked by notable players like Shaquille O’Neal, Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, Tracy McGrady, and Dwight Howard.
The Orlando Magic’s new additions are Cory Joseph and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Cory Joseph is a seasoned point guard with over 10 years of NBA experience, having played for teams like the San Antonio Spurs and Sacramento Kings. He’s known for his steady playmaking and defense.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is a versatile shooting guard who has played for the Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Lakers, and Denver Nuggets. He’s a reliable three-point shooter and brings athleticism to the court.
These signings aim to bolster the Magic’s roster, especially after their impressive 47-35 record last season. The team is looking to make a deeper playoff run, and Joseph and Caldwell-Pope’s experience will be invaluable.
The departures from the Orlando Magic are Joe Ingles, the 11-year veteran signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Kevon Harris, his departure was part of the Magic’s offseason moves. Markelle Fultz, the former No. 1 draft pick spent four seasons with the Magic and is currently an unsigned free agent.
