  As an Orlando Magic fan who lived through this, I&apos;m not sure I am ready to relive it. 😅 Thankfully we have Paolo, Franz, Suggs and the guys, so brighter days are on us.

  As a lifelong Magic fan since 89, who lived the Nick Anderson, Terry Catlidge, Sam Vincent days. Was on cloud 9 with the Shaq, Penny, Horace Grant era. Was redeemed during the T-Mac days, and learned to belive during the Dwight time, this period in Magic history was the bleekest because it was the longest we had ever gone without competing or contending. It felt like we would never get out of this hole. Even as an expansion team we had 3 bad years and then we get Shaq. We Had a 41-41 season were we missed the playoffs by one game right after we traded Penny, and then got T-Mac. Even Dwight abs Hedo got us to the playoffs 2 years after drafting D12.<br><br>We had good talent with Harris, Oladipo, Vuc, Gordon, and Ji, but Rob Hannigan was a double agent for someone who had a vendetta against the Magic apparently. <br><br>Usually, i&apos;m overprotective of my team with outsiders who didn&apos;t live the situation, but you got most of the facts and feel completely right

  I&apos;m a Magic fan, have been forever. Some of this was painful to re-live, but I can think back on my life through Orlando Magic seasons. Thank you for the depth and attention to detail in this. This is phenomenal work. Easiest subscribe of my life.

  The funniest thing I remember from this Magic rebuild was in 2017 when their off-season plans were leaked in the background of a FA signing photo on a whiteboard 😂

  It’s crazy they turned Oladipo and Sabonis into T Ross and OKC turned them into SGA lmao.

  Context for the 2016 Hennigan shenanigans: The Magic had an extremely weak schedule for the first half of the year. When it suddenly got tougher, he panicked. Then when the first trade didn&apos;t work, he doubled down and traded again.<br><br>The Magic traded 3 future All-Stars and lost years of rebuilding simply because Hennigan overreacted when their young team started playing against contenders.

  Imagine OKC jumped into this and gets Bynum for Westbrook (OKC keep Harden, Westbrook to Orlando)<br><br>Even with Bynum never contributing winning basketball again, OKC unlocks Harden, Harden and Durant develop a symbiotic game instead of the taking turns game KD and Westbrook had.<br>Orlando gives the keys to Westbrook who soon discovers MVP form<br><br>Philly and Denver can work out an Iguodala deal separately. Maybe The Process never begins in Philly
