What should be the master plan of Orlando Magic this season?

Tank for a top pick. Get on Victor and Scoot Train. Add another center piece for the rebuild

45%
Level Up. Try to win as many games as we can. Develop our young players and make the play-in

Who questions the dynamic vs Tanking? Tanking won't work

We need to WIN and build on the wins. That is how we level up and grow, not by getting a top 5 pick

I’m pro-tank and I haven’t complained once about winning… in fact, I’ve been cheering it on but to say tanking doesn’t work while being led by a guy we just tanked for is both funny and ironic as hell to me.

I had no problem with the tank the last two years, but to start a season with an intention to tank before even giving this team a chance to compete is just infuriating, especially now that we see the east is weaker than we thought and this team is a lot better.

Considering after the winning streak we still have a 10% chance vs a 14% chance of winning the first pick i'd take it. I was hoping barring injuries we would see player improvement in accordance to winning the 1st pick and drafting the right player.

We drafted the right player today it looks like. We are just injury prone with some legit modern NBA weaknesses like 3pt shooting and average guard depth. The flip side is we are developing what looks to be 2 solid combo fowards and both are averaging 20ppg.

I look forward to the Magic making the play-ins over the Bulls, and the Bulls pick landing one of the numerous super-talented SGs that will be available in the coming draft.
