Episode Details

The Orlando Magic have finalized their training camp roster as they prepare for a do-or-die season.

The team is mostly the same, adding only Nikola Vucevic. That is faith in a team that failed to live up to expectations in the last two seasons. But it is also an ultimatum. If they cannot deliver this year, the team will be forced to make some major changes. The question is to what extent those changes will be and whether this team is on the right track.

While there is a lot that has remained the same from last year, one thing is different. The team has a new coach in Sean Sweeney. While Sweeney will likely do a lot of things similar to rebuild the team's defensive identity, he will bring changes. And nobody truly knows whether this rookie head coach will deliver for the Magic.

It is all part of the pressure of the season for the Magic as they try to build on their foundation and advance further in the Playoffs.
