Orlando Magic won’t be rushed into picking a new General Manager

Magic interested in GMs that are with their teams in the NBA playoffs

NBA
The Orlando Magic fired Rob Hennigan but now they are not in a hurry to hire a new GM.
Matt Lloyd became General Manager ad interim and he will be one of the candidates for the position.

Per Orlando Magic Official Website, The NBA Draft Lottery will be held on May 15 and the NBA Draft is June 22, but Martins said the Magic won’t be rushed into picking a new GM because of the importance of the position.
``The factor that is going to dictate (the pace of the search) is that there are some individuals that we’re interested in who (have teams that) are playing in the NBA playoffs and we’re not going to be able to talk to them until their teams are eliminated,’’ Martins said. ``And I think it’s in our best interests to identify the right individual and talk to those who are involved in the playoffs. That’s what is going to dictate the majority of the timeframe.
``In terms of being prepared for the draft, I have no concerns about that whatsoever because I have a very high amount of confidence in Matt Lloyd and his team to prepare us for the draft,’’ Martins continued. ``He’ll have everything lined up and prepared for when we do hire a GM, including if it is him. … Frank (Vogel) will be a big part of that (NBA Draft) preparation as well and he’ll work closely with Matt over the next several weeks in leading the Basketball Operations staff.’’
Martins stressed that whomever the Magic hire as GM will have to be accepting of Vogel as the team’s head coach going forward. Martins feels that Vogel’s track record of success as a head coach and his driven personality will be exceptionally strong selling points in attracting premier GM candidates.
