Just when 2016-17 had become an uncharacteristically peaceful one with no coaches fired during the regular season, the Orlando Magic has fired general manager Rob Hennigan after five consecutive losing seasons and no playoff appearances, CEO Alex Martins announced Thursday morning.

Along with him, the Magic have also sacked his assistant manager, Scott Perry and made assistant general manager Matt Lloyd their interim GM, who is likely to be considered for the permanent job.

Hennigan's contract ran until next season, but after a line of questionable moves, including the acquisition-then-trade of forward Serge Ibaka, along with the handling of a leaked offseason target list debacle at the time of signing of shooting Patricio Garino, which led to clearing things up with one of the team's young stars — Aaron Gordon.

These last two questionable moves proved the end for a mostly underwhelming five years with the organization.

The magic went a disappointing 132-278 throughout Hennigan's time as GM, and the youngest in the league at that at only 35-years-old.

Hennigan was hired by Orlando at only 30-years-old in July 2012 after some front office stints with the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder. His job started with trading an unhappy Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers within the first month on the job, though throughout his five years with the team, he wasn't able to push the Magic higher than 11th in the Eastern Conference standings, which he did last season when the team won 35 games.
