Orlando Magic trade rumors: Orlando's moves hopefully bring Magic to team
Looking to be part of the elite in the Eastern Conference, the Orlando Magic made some moves and are hopeful that they can become a team to beat.
With a team consisting of young players who have so much potential, the Magic added big men and veteran presence that they can hopefully translate to a deep run later in the season.
According to Fan Sided, the Magic have the capability to exploit some team combinations to make for their deadliest starting line-up.
The biggest thing here is how new head coach Frank Vogel sees the strengths of the team, enough for them to be the main line-up in every game.
With the arrivals of Bismack Biyombo and Serge Ibaka in the team, the team can opt to play small but have the speed on both ends.
Add the fact that Aaron Gordon is still a capable forward who has so much potential, then the Magic may surprise some of the bigger and better teams on paper.
According to USA Today, the Magic may still find some trouble with the departure of Victor Oladipo. He was considered the franchise player for the team. But the Magic obviously saw things differently when the chance for an All-Star forward presented itself in the form of Ibaka.
Now, the Magic should hope for more consistency from their remaining guards, Elfrid Payton and Evan Fournier. Both showed glimpses of how they could be, but producing results day in and out should be their common goal.
Nikola Vucevic should also be utilized properly as he is probably threatened with the arrival of two big men coming from rival teams.
Vucevic is the team's top scorer, with 18.2 points per game, and the Magic should make sure to keep this man happy in order for him to keep producing great results.
To say that the Magic have an interesting season is an understatement, with many are saying that the departure of Oladipo is bad for the team. However, it may have been for the best, and the fans don't even know it.
