Orlando Magic
Resolution: Find the right balance between the young and vets
The Orlando Magic are so close to being a playoff contending team in the Eastern Conference. They have the young, future stars in Elfrid Payton and Victor Oladipo; they just need to find the right vets to surround them in order to kick their fortunes to the next level. Compared to last season, the Magic have improved mightily this season.
Although, they seem to be still a couple pieces away from being a real force in the NBA. Look for the Magic to snag another solid pick in this year’s NBA draft, and expect another leap next season. They’re close.
