The Orlando Magic, a team started in the 1989 season has recently gone through some of the worst PR runs in the last decade. In the 1990s they were dominate with Shaquille O’Neal, in the Early and Mid 2000s it was all about Tracy McGrady and Dwight Howard, but after Dwight’s departure in 2012, the Orlando Magic for the first time went through their first extended drought as a team. They got by two times for a extended amount of time through their #1 overall picks who ended up becoming some of the best bigs of their era. But finally in the 2022 NBA Draft, they have finally been blessed with the #1 overall pick and chose Paolo Banchero to be their new leader for the future like Dwight and Shaq before. But what about the time in between Dwight and Paolo? This is the story of the worst rebuild in NBA History!

    As an Orlando Magic fan who lived through this, I'm not sure I am ready to relive it. 😅 Thankfully we have Paolo, Franz, Suggs and the guys, so brighter days are on us.

    Imagine OKC jumped into this and gets Bynum for Westbrook (OKC keep Harden, Westbrook to Orlando)

    Even with Bynum never contributing winning basketball again, OKC unlocks Harden, Harden and Durant develop a symbiotic game instead of the taking turns game KD and Westbrook had.
    Orlando gives the keys to Westbrook who soon discovers MVP form

    Philly and Denver can work out an Iguodala deal separately. Maybe The Process never begins in Philly

    As a lifelong Magic fan since 89, who lived the Nick Anderson, Terry Catlidge, Sam Vincent days. Was on cloud 9 with the Shaq, Penny, Horace Grant era. Was redeemed during the T-Mac days, and learned to belive during the Dwight time, this period in Magic history was the bleekest because it was the longest we had ever gone without competing or contending. It felt like we would never get out of this hole. Even as an expansion team we had 3 bad years and then we get Shaq. We Had a 41-41 season were we missed the playoffs by one game right after we traded Penny, and then got T-Mac. Even Dwight abs Hedo got us to the playoffs 2 years after drafting D12.

    We had good talent with Harris, Oladipo, Vuc, Gordon, and Ji, but Rob Hannigan was a double agent for someone who had a vendetta against the Magic apparently.

    Usually, i'm overprotective of my team with outsiders who didn't live the situation, but you got most of the facts and feel completely right
