– The Magic are in the middle of their rebuilding phase and are in no rush to go hunting for free agents. They seem content on building around their young core of recently drafted guard Victor Oladipo, small forward acquired from the Reddick deal with Milwaukee, Tobias Harris (who looks like a steal!), and center Nikola Vucevic who had monster 20+ rebound games last year.

GM Rob Hennigan seems like a genius a year after the monster deal that sent Dwight to LA, and Andre Iguodala to Denver. Hennigan has built a solid group of young guys that can mature and grow together. Tobias Harris is the key to the Magic’s success down the line (along with the draft). Harris, in his sample size of a season with the Magic (27 games), averaged 17.3 points and 8.5 rebounds a game.

The Magic have a bright future, and with Hennigan calling the shots in Orlando, Magic fans are smiling from ear-to-ear.

2013-2014 Prediction: 24-58
