Orlando Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman wasn't going to directly address rumors that his team is a "dark horse" to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo. But Weltman was willing to say that he sees it as a good thing that his team is in rumors linked to such a good player.

"I take it as a compliment that we have a lot of players that the league is interested in and that we could even be thrown into that conversation speaks to the talent on this roster. So, that's my big takeaway from that," Weltman said after relaying he's not allowed to talk about another team's players directly.

While speaking at new head coach Sean Sweeney's introductory press conference, Weltman recognized that Orlando has a lot of work to do to improve their roster.

"We're doing all the work that we need to (do) to try to puzzle the roster out," Weltman said. "I do think there's some kind of basic holes that we want to punch where we can improve the roster and augment the players that we have."

The Magic are entering the offseason above the first apron and nearing the second apron. Orlando will resolve Jonathan Isaac's standing on the roster before June 28, when Isaac's contract becomes fully guaranteed. Trading or waiving Isaac could give the Magic much-needed wiggle room around the aprons.
