It's been on every Orlando Magic fan's mind since the 2009 NBA Finals went in the Lakers' favor—what can the organization do this offseason to make sure that what happened against Kobe and L.A. doesn't happen again?
It's clear from Otis Smith in the front office to Dwight Howard down on the court—bringing an NBA Championship to O-Town is the goal; we're not interested in merely making it to the playoffs. So, how can the Magic make it over the hill in 2010?
I know seven is a weird number for a countdown, but hey, I believe there are seven things the Magic need to work on. They're not in any order of significance, they're all important for Orlando's growth. As the hype of the NBA Finals ends and the offseason plays out, I'm sure we'll know a lot more about what needs to be done to get the Magic a championship win.
Let me know what you think, and if you think there are any other issues that need to be raised, I would be interested to hear them.
