ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -The new arena will have no championship coronation.
The only thing following the Orlando Magic to the Amway Center next season will be memories of coming close. That elusive NBA title banner will not be raised on opening night.
Again.
A major overhaul wasn’t enough to get back to the NBA finals, much less win a championship, and now the Magic will have to hope their core is enough to stay in contention. They’re already over the luxury tax and don’t have much wiggle room in free agency.
In 21 seasons as a franchise, all spent in the old Amway Arena, this offseason will be tougher than most for the Magic. They went all-in for a title and instead regressed.
