The Orlando Magic are in a rebuilding phase with high stakes: after three straight playoff appearances without advancing past the first round, they’ve hired Sean Sweeney as head coach — a bold move to shake things up. But the real drama lies in roster decisions, especially around Anthony Black, whose $10M+ contract and impending restricted free agency force the Magic to weigh keeping him or letting him walk. With luxury tax implications, they’re watching his development closely. Meanwhile, Jason Kidd — recently fired by Dallas and a former Sweeney assistant — could bring defensive expertise, though a full-time role this year seems unlikely. The Magic also hold one open roster spot, choosing to wait and see rather than rush a signing. With the new coach in place, the Magic are still piecing together their puzzle — and the pressure’s on to turn this season into a breakthrough.
