We Will: An Orlando Magic Association

“WE WILL” promises the Magic will do whatever it takes to put a winner on the floor and create a product Magic fans and partners can be proud of on all fronts. The shift from “Be Magic” to “WE WILL” was made to update the Magic’s message and reaffirm the franchise’s desire to be great. Hallmarks of the campaign are in the Magic’s mantra of hard work, competing every night, leading and inspiring as the Magic strive for excellence via integrity, strength, resilience and togetherness.

After what Dwight Howard put the Magic through, I've made a decision. The Magic, along with all other teams are able to rebuild their franchises. The fantasy draft took place July 23 2012.

Iggy Scores 17 in Season Opener Against Nuggets

Andre Iguodala came ready to play opening night, making 7/10 shots, including 3/4 from 3 pt. land. "I think its great that we're all together. We believe that as a cohesive unit, we can accomplish anything." Deron Williams scored 20 to lead the Magic in scoring, and was part of the 4 starters who scored in double figures. Coach Jacque Vaughn said that he's glad the Howard drama is over "I'm glad we can just go play basketball. It's just easier to play instead of worrying about where everyone's gonna be next year or whatever. These guys are in for this season, and will address the consequences at the end of the season." The Magic remain at home against the Suns.

The Magic announced after their win against Denver that they have signed Mike James to a veteran's minimum contract for the rest of the season. After Eric Maynor struggled with 3 turnovers in the first game, the decision was clear to sign a veteran to backup Deron Williams. "We just want to have insurance in case Deron goes down with an injury" coach Jacque Vaughn said. Vaughn added that Maynor will no longer be in the rotation.

Deron's 22 Pace the Magic to Their Second Win

Deron Williams unselfishness is contaigious, as he scored 22 points and dished out 8 assists in a 99-79 win over Denver. "I don't know what it is, but guys are getting open, and I'm making the extra pass. It's easy now. It's great to have (fellow Team USA member) Andre Iguodala making open 3's. I know he's been working on that for awhile." Iguodala matched Williams' 22 points on the night, and made 4/6 3 pt. attempts. The Magic head to Chicago in search of their 3 straight win.

A True Team Effort in Win vs. Bulls

After being by 6 early in the first quarter, Magic coach Jacques Vaughn had a decision to make. He had to decide whether or not to call a timeout and bring in the bench unit early. He decided to stick with the starters and was rewarded for his patience. Jeff Green matched Carmelo Anthony's 28 points, but was supported by Iguodala's 27, Deron Williams scored 18, and Nick Young made his first meaningful impact off the bench with 17 pts on 7-7 shooting. "It was great to finally get some meaningful minutes." Young said after the win. "It's hard to score when we're killing clock in the 4th, it was great to make a difference in the game." Young came in for Iguodala in the first quarter with about 5 minutes left after Iguodala picked up two quick fouls. The Magic get no rest as they head for a game in Minnesota tomorrow.

This week, ESPN's Dr. Jack Ramsay gives advice to teams who are aching to turn things around. This week, he examines the Orlando Magic, ESPN.com's team to watch in the Atlantic Division.

The Symptoms
The Magic finished the 2001-02 season with a 44-38 record, in third place in the Atlantic Division, and were eliminated from the playoffs in the first round by Charlotte (now New Orleans) three games to one. It marked the second consecutive year that the Magic were ousted in the opening series.

Last year's version of the Magic was a high-scoring team that disappeared on defense. Coach Doc Rivers' gang put 100.5 points on the board (fourth-best in the league) and was led by Tracy McGrady's 25.6 points per game. Only three other teams (Lakers, Kings and Mavericks) scored over a hundred points a game. They were also three of the league's strongest teams. Orlando scored enough points to be a candidate for that group. They played an up-tempo pace with Darrell Armstrong pushing the ball, Mike Miller and Pat Garrity bombing away from 3-point land, and McGrady, a great go-to guy, coming through in crunch time. There was enough scoring for the Magic to be 50-game winners, even though they had no inside game with their big men and ranked in the bottom third in offensive rebounding.

It was at the other end of the floor that the Magic's major weakness was exposed. They ranked 27th in points allowed and 22nd in field-goal percentage defense -- a bad combination of numbers. The Magic used a porous zone defense for segments of most games that was riddled by penetrations and open shots and also seemed to have a negative effect on their man-to-man coverage. Factor in their weakness in rebounding (28th in total rebounds), and it's easy to see why the Magic didn't get out of the first round of the playoffs.

The Diagnosis
Orlando has been without a big-man presence since Shaquille O'Neal left them to sign on with the Lakers after the 1995-96 season. Last season, the Patrick Ewing experiment went up in smoke and Horace Grant, although yet giving a workman-like effort at big forward (eight points and six rebounds), was 36 years old and unable to play at his once-effective level. Rivers used a combination of Andrew DeClercq, Don Reid, Ewing, and rookie Steven Hunter at the center position, and the foursome just didn't get the job done. That group lacked scoring ability and rebounded inconsistently. McGrady was the team's second-leading rebounder at 7.8 per game after Grant Hill's 8.9 (obtained in only 14 games played).

Much has been made of Hill's inability to play more games as the reason for the Magic's lack of dominance. There's no question that a healthy Hill would have boosted the Magic's overall game. He's a great floor leader who can energize a team by his complete game and gritty style of play. But even when Hill played, the Magic lacked good defense and strength in the middle. There was also the problem of getting Hill and McGrady, who have similar skills, to work in harmony.

In the offseason, the Magic severed its ties with Ewing and sent Reid to Denver. They picked up Olumide Oyedeji, a 6-foot-10 power forward/center who averaged six minutes of playing time at Seattle last season and posted miniscule numbers in points, rebounds and blocked shots. If the Magic hope that Oyedeji and Hunter will jump-start their interior game on either offense or defense, they're in for the same kind of season they had last year -- even if Hill plays full-time. Rivers is hoping to get good minutes from 6-8 draftee Ryan Humphrey, who is Notre Dame's career-leading shot blocker. Humphrey will get a chance to play due to the thin makeup of the Magic's front line.

Orlando's perimeter game remains strong. Garrity is among the league's best 3-point shooters (.427), and Miller (.383) and McGrady (.364) are both dangerous threats. The point guard position is in good hands with the irrepressible Armstrong, but the Magic elected to not sign free agent Troy Hudson, signing Jacque Vaughn in his stead. They'll miss Hudson's scoring.

Another reserve player lost is 6-7 small forward Monty Williams, who played hard and averaged about seven points a game off the bench. Williams signed on with Philadelphia as a free agent. He'll also be missed.

The Cure
The Magic need big-man strength in the worst way. They need to bolster the center and big forward positions or they'll be tilting at windmills again. Some of their deals (like trading Bo Outlaw to Phoenix) have been done to free up cap money for next year -- when Tim Duncan, the reigning MVP, will become a free agent. But even if they got Duncan -- and that is certainly a risky quest -- the Magic would need another "big" to go with him.

The best free agent big man available right now is Michael Olowokandi, who came alive last year after three indifferent seasons. He's developed a pretty good low-post game (11 points per game), rebounds (8.9) and blocks shots (1.8) acceptably, and he appears to be disenchanted with the Clippers' organization. The Kandi Man could make life sweet for Doc Rivers and his squad right now.

Whether the Magic add Olowokandi or someone else, the presence of a shot-blocking, rebounding big man would do wonders for Orlando's team defense and accelerate the offense as well. The old Boston Celtics of the early 1950s were scoring a hundred points a game but going nowhere until Bill Russell stepped on the scene. Once Russell applied his defensive magic, Boston won 11 or the next 13 NBA championships.
