Even with the Orlando Magic making the playoffs for the first time since 2020 and coming within a game of reaching the Eastern Conference Semifinals, general manager Anthony Parker believes his team is capable of doing more.
ORLANDO — While the Orlando Magic's return to the NBA playoffs was a significant step forward, General Manager Anthony Parker says the team has greater goals.
"We know internally, Coach Mosley, Jeff Weltman, our players will be the first to tell you we haven't done what we want to do yet,". "We haven't arrived. celebrating the progress and everything, but we're not done and we want to continue to get better." The 2023-24 season was a revelation. The Magic finished 47-35, won the Southeastern Division, and pushed the Cleveland Cavaliers to a playoff Game 7 — all while being led by a trio of players 23 years and younger.— third-most in the NBA — to possibly add proven veteran talent to their core of All-Star forward Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and All-Defensive team memberJalen Suggs.
For the first time in a while, Orlando is a desirable destination with the financial flexibility to court free agents such as Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George, Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson, and Sacramento Kings scorer/playmaker Malik Monk. "I hope to be in a lot of conversations that several years ago we weren’t able to be a part of," Parker said.: The Orlando Magic announced their four-game preseason schedule on Wednesday — two games each at home and on the road beginning Oct. 7.: The Orlando Magic have drafted well and developed a young roster into a playoff team.
