Dave Twardzik had been with the Magic since 2003 when he served as Director of Player Personnel. Two years later, in 2005, he was promoted to Assistant General Manager under Otis Smith who was fired in May along with Head Coach, Stan Van Gundy.
The five members of the scouting staff who were let go were: Tom Conrad (regional scout), Rudy D'Amico (international scout), Sam Foggin (international scouting coordinator), Bob Staak (pro scout), Greg Stratton (regional scout) and Al Walker (advance scout).
