Orlando Magic consider changes to roster amid struggles and Black's emergence
Summary

The Orlando Magic might consider breaking up their core roster if they do not meet expectations this season. Currently sitting at 4-7 with a negative net rating, the team has suffered three consecutive first-round playoff exits. The organization has indicated that retaining rising star Anthony Black, who is excelling in a starting role, is a priority, while other high-salary players could be dealt. In the wake of injuries to key players, the front office is weighing its options as the season progresses and Black's potential restricted free agency looms next summer.
