## Resource

The NBA’s new era emphasizes depth and flexibility over superteams. The Magic, burdened by expensive contracts, must address their shallow bench and limited offensive adaptability. With their core intact, Orlando’s edge relies on building versatile depth and finding a coach who can maximize the roster’s strengths to reach contender status.
