<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>After a dizzying summer of changes off the floor, the Orlando Magic return tonight to begin implementing the changes they made on the court. The Magic open the preseason against the Atlanta Hawks at Amway Arena with a new star, a new coach and a new offensive style on display. Forward Rashard Lewis makes his debut after being signed this summer to a six-year, $118-million contract. Expected to help a team that struggled to score last season, Lewis averaged 22.4 points last season for the Seattle SuperSonics, matching the 22.4 points the Magic lost with the free-agent departures of Grant Hill and Darko Milicic. Orlando added two other players, center Adonal Foyle and center/power forward Marcin Gortat. A change also was made on the bench as the club chose Stan Van Gundy to replace Brian Hill as coach. Bringing aboard Van Gundy -- former coach of the Miami Heat -- ended a soap-opera drama that began when Florida Gators Coach Billy Donovan reversed field after taking the job. Van Gundy has altered the way the Magic play, junking Hill's deliberate, half-court attack. The "Run 'n' Gundy" offense will, if all goes according to plan, feature the running game, along with the 3-point shot. The Magic, 40-42 last season and swept out of the first round of the playoffs by the Detroit Pistons, will still make sure all-star center Dwight Howard gets plenty of touches. But the loss of big men Milicic and Tony Battie (shoulder injury) has forced them to play small ball. Veteran teams tend to rest their starters in the preseason, but Van Gundy is trying to fit the pieces of a puzzle together. He said his starters could play as much as 30 minutes against Atlanta. "We're not going to use the exhibition season to rest them. We're in a situation where we're trying to get one significant new guy incorporated, but really trying to get everybody on board with playing a different way. That takes time," Van Gundy said after Sunday's practice at RDV Sportsplex. "You do look at it differently."</div></p> Source: Orlando Sentinel</p>
