Demasiado tiempo para la próxima reconstrucción:Clifford had one full season remaining on the four-year contract he originally signed in 2018. Team officials had been pleased with the performance of Clifford and Clifford’s coaching staff over the last three years. Many figures within the uppermost levels of the organization had hoped that Clifford would consider signing a contract extension, league sources said.

However, indications are that Clifford was not prepared to sign an extension after the injury-riddled Magic abruptly shifted course in late March, veering from win-now mode to a full rebuild. Clifford, 59, almost certainly recognized the obvious: Orlando’s rebuilding effort could take several years or more to complete, especially if the team doesn’t get lucky in this summer’s lottery or next year’s lottery.

As the Orlando Magic move into a full rebuilding process, coach Steve Clifford and the franchise have agreed together to a parting, sources told ESPN on Saturday. Clifford, who led the Magic to the playoffs in successive seasons prior to this year, had several meetings with management over recent weeks that ultimately drove what’s been described to ESPN as a “mutual decision,” sources said.

In the end, the timelines of the Magic’s rebuild and Clifford’s station were no longer aligned.

Clifford, 59, had one year left on his original four-year contract, sources told ESPN. He finishes with a 96-131 mark in his three years in Orlando, including two playoff seasons. Orlando was 21-51 this season, cycling several young players and 10-day contract performers through the lineup.

Magic interested in Alperen Sengun
According to Sam Vecenie of The Athletic, the Magic are thought to be interested in international prospect Alperen Sengun. Orlando holds the fifth and eighth overall picks in the first round, and could look to potentially select him at No. 8 on draft night. The Magic are one of the few teams that will have Sengun in for a workout and are thought to be interested in the high-scoring Turkish star as a potential replacement for Nikola Vucevic, whom the team traded away at the deadline to acquire this selection among other assets.
