Prologue
After the 94 season which concluded with the Orlando Magic compiling a 57–25 record, best in the East and winning the Atlantic Division title, becoming the second-fastest team to advance to the NBA Finals in league history.In the playoffs, the Magic defeated the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, and the Indiana Pacers, advancing to the NBA Finals where O'Neal, Hardaway and the young Magic bowed to a more playoff-experienced Hakeem Olajuwon and the Houston Rockets, taking their second consecutive crown in a 4-0 sweep of Orlando. Penny Hardaway was frustrated, even franchise cornerstone Shaquille O'Neal was frustrated, changes had to be made. The general manager was immediately fired in the offseason.
Where to look, Where to run? The organization was a mess at this point. The owner peered outside of his window while smoking a cigar astonished to see someone staring at him. "What could someone like YOU possibly want" he thought to himself. It was a young kid bouncing a ball outside his gate. The kid had on a very large bookbag with a folder peering out, it read 10 year plan on how to fix the magic. "Kid, dont get to ahead of yourself" he thought to himself. Then again, he has no choice. He decided to let the kid in for coffee.
