Rob Hennigan and the Orlando Magic have agreed upon an extension through the 17-18 season.

Hennigan was hired in 2012 to replace Otis Smith and immediately had to deal with the Dwight Howard trade.

The Magic have a 68-178 record during Hennigan's three seasons as general manager.

Hennigan’s recent draft acquisitions — Victor Oladipo in 2013 and Aaron Gordon and Elfrid Payton last year — have received positive reviews.

On April 16, Hennigan was asked about a potential extension, and he said, “What I can tell you is I love working here. It’s a pleasure to work here. It’s an honor to work for the DeVos family and under [CEO] Alex [Martins’] leadership, and I’m happy to be here as long as they want to keep me here.”

Scott Brooks will become a top candidate for the head coaching vacancies of the Orlando Magic and Denver Nuggets.

Brooks was fired by the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.

The Orlando Magic are expected to soon seek an extension with Rob Hennigan as general manager.

Hennigan is signed through the 15-16 season.

The DeVos family and CEO Alex Martins are pleased with the job Hennigan has done since Hennigan was hired in June 2012.

When the team originally hired Hennigan, it signed him to a three-year deal with a team option for a fourth year. Last May, the team exercised its option for the 2015-16 season.

Extension talks between the Magic and Hennigan or Hennigan's agent likely will occur after this season ends on April 15.

Billy Donovan is interested in leaving Florida for the NBA more than ever before, according to sources.

Donovan figures to draw interest from multiple NBA teams this offseason.

Donovan recently agreed to a one-year contract extension to stay with the Gators through the 2020 season, according to multiple media reports, but the contract contains a buyout for a mere $500,000 if an NBA opportunity arises. 

Donovan rejected serious interest from the Minnesota Timberwolves and Cleveland Cavaliers last offseason.

The Denver Nuggets and Orlando Magic currently employ interim coaches and both are expected to have Donovan on their list of targets.

No longer is Donovan barred from considering NBA offers as he was from 2007-08 through 2012-13, after he agreed to a noncompete clause spanning five years in exchange for being released from the contract he signed with the Magic.
