It’s not often the 27-24 Magic win two consecutive games and yet the viewpoint of the team is as abysmal as if they’d lost those. We beat a depleted Nets squad, and a Jazz team heavily tanking in the fourth quarter. The same Orlando problems exist and all we did at the trade deadline was attach two 2nd round picks to Tyus Jones and jettison him to Charlotte so we could get under the luxury tax. This franchise has major flaws.

Do something, Jeff Weltman. I’ve got my stick out and I’m poking. I laid out the Magic’s trade landscape last episode. Now it’s up to the Orlando front office to get off their hands. This team is not the title contender they should be currently. Beyond needing to move on from Jamahl Mosley, Jeff also has to make 1, 2, maybe 3 moves by this February 5th trade deadline to shed salary and still improve this team. This ownership group shouldn’t be paying a luxury tax for this mediocre product because there are team building roster penalties for being repeatedly in the luxury tax. Get under that tax, Jeff. That we have to question if these moves will even happen speaks volumes for the lack of confidence in proper decision-making actually occurring.

Getting a bit of 2016 Déjà vu where our season fell apart after losing to Toronto in London. There is no parachute for this current 23-21 Magic team. Jamahl Mosley is on the ropes. Jeff Weltman may be gone in a few months. We have no first round draft pick this summer. Whatever players are on the Magic after the February 5th trade deadline are going to have to drag us out of this mess. I’m focusing this episode on the center and guard market, but I have not trust in the front office to take action. It’s going to take multiple drastic changes to turn the season around: Roster moves, actual coaching, and the players being willing to come together and give a damn.

For as great as the Magic’s victory and experience in Berlin, Germany was, familiar problems showed up in the United Kingdom and led to a blowout loss in London. Orlando comes back stateside 23-19 with this being the second half of our season and the NBA just two and a half weeks until the trade deadline. How long will the inconsistencies be tolerated?

The Magic beat New Orleans on Sunday and are off to Europe to play their Berlin and London games. But Orlando is just 22-18 and still has not won consecutive games since December 1st. It is a challenge playing well without Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs. Paolo Banchero is receiving heavy criticism like never before. We got Moritz Wagner back after over a year absent, but the team has issues with its roster and from a coaching and focus perspective. It’s January, but are there already signs Jeff Weltman and Jamahl Mosley won’t be here next season? In not extending Weltman’s contract beyond this season, and with fan frustration that Mosley can’t coach a contender and Paolo’s overall regression so far this season, are the DeVos family already planning on a new President of Basketball Operations and Head Coach?

We’re in 2026. Happy New Year. The Magic are 20-16 after beating the Pacers on Sunday afternoon. We’re 6th in the East, should be top 3. But Jalen Suggs got hurt again, the Wagner brothers have not returned yet, and we’ve had focus issues. Particularly in 4th quarters of late. Defense and rebounding have been slipping. We’re in the dregs of the schedule, can Orlando put a large amount of victories together in this stretch?

It wasn’t pretty, but the now 17-13 Magic survived their 2-2 West trip. The team gets to fly back to Orlando for Christmas. It’s time to get bodies back and start racking up wins.

In what was an entertaining NBA Cup semifinal matchup with the Knicks in Las Vegas, injuries ended up being the larger topic as the Magic bow out of the Cup, losing 132-120. Orlando gets four days off to heal, practice, and prepare for their 4-game West road trip that begins in Denver on Thursday. But before that, December 15th is here. That means teams can start transacting players who signed contracts this offseason. Jeff Weltman has obvious opportunities now to improve his 15-11 squad. Will he send out guys like Jonathan Isaac, Jett Howard, and Tyus Jones, or will he sit on his hands again?

It looked grim early Tuesday night when you go down 15-0 to open the game, but the Magic recovered and beat the Miami Heat again to advance to the NBA Cup semifinals on Saturday. Desmond Bane loves 37-point performances. Orlando is off to Las Vegas for another meeting with the Knicks, two teams who have never here before.

The 14-10 Magic received fantastic news about Franz Wagner’s leg injury. He only has a high left ankle sprain. Predicted timetable is Franz will be out 2-to-4 weeks, but that’s way better than had he suffered serious knee damage. Orlando’s focus quickly shifts to a Tuesday 6 pm NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup with Miami at Kia Center on Prime Video. Winner gets to Las Vegas for Saturday’s semifinals. Can Paolo Banchero get back into elite form and lead the way to victory?
