In anticipation of the team's move to [[Amway Center]], the Magic updated its logo. They retained the streaking ball logo, but changed the wordmark taken from their current uniforms. The Magic hosted the NBA All-Star Game in 2012. The Magic also unveiled black alternate uniforms.

In the summer of 2010, the Orlando Magic signed [[Chris Duhon]], formerly of the New York Knicks,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.insidehoops.com/blog/?p=6157 |title=Magic sign Chris Duhon |publisher=InsideHoops |access-date=January 27, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120307202054/http://www.insidehoops.com/blog/?p=6157 |archive-date=March 7, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and [[Quentin Richardson]], formerly of the Miami Heat.

On December 18, 2010, having lost five of their last six games, the Magic made a blockbuster trade deal with the [[Phoenix Suns]] and the [[Washington Wizards]]. They traded [[Vince Carter]], [[Marcin Gortat]] and [[Mickaël Piétrus]] to Phoenix for [[Hedo Türkoğlu]] (who led them into the 2009 NBA Finals when they lost 4–1 against the [[Los Angeles Lakers]]), [[Jason Richardson]] and [[Earl Clark]]. [[Rashard Lewis]] was traded to Washington for 3-time All-Star [[Gilbert Arenas]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=5932861 |title=Sources: Magic trade for Gilbert Arenas |date=December 18, 2010 |publisher=[[ESPN]] |access-date=December 18, 2010 |archive-date=January 10, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120110085532/http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5932861 |url-status=live }}</ref>

The Magic finished the season with 52 victories, good for second in the Southeast Division. But they were ousted in six games by the [[Atlanta Hawks]] in the first round of the [[2011 NBA playoffs]], the first time head coach [[Stan Van Gundy]] was eliminated early in the playoffs.

In a lockout-shortened [[2011–12 NBA season|2011–12 season]], the Magic started the off-season on a rocky note, with their All-Star center, [[Dwight Howard]], requesting a trade to either the [[New Jersey Nets]], [[Los Angeles Lakers]], or [[Dallas Mavericks]]. Overlooking the trade request the Magic did a sign and trade with the Boston Celtics for [[Glen Davis (basketball)|Glen Davis]] and [[Von Wafer]] in exchange for [[Brandon Bass]]. The Magic also amnestied [[Gilbert Arenas]] and signed [[Larry Hughes]], [[Justin Harper (basketball)|Justin Harper]], and [[DeAndre Liggins]]. The Magic started the season on Christmas Day in [[Oklahoma City]] against the [[Oklahoma City Thunder|Thunder]]. They lost the season opener 97–89. During the month of February, the Magic waived Hughes and signed [[Ish Smith]]. On February 26, Orlando hosted the 2012 All-Star Game. The Magic struggled to win games consistently, with concerns about the uncertainty of Dwight Howard's future with the franchise. However, after Dwight rescinded his trade demand and signed a one-year deal in March, the Magic seemed to find their footing again. But then in early April, shortly after it became public that Howard requested coach Van Gundy to be replaced, the center was diagnosed with a herniated disk and forced to have back surgery, thus ending his season. The Magic clinched the sixth seed in the east with a 37–29 record. The Magic were faced with the third-seeded Pacers in the first round. Despite winning the first game of the series the Magic were defeated 4–1.

On May 21, 2012, it was reported that general manager [[Otis Smith (basketball)|Otis Smith]] and head coach [[Stan Van Gundy]] would part ways with the organization. Stan Van Gundy finished with a 259–135 regular season record with the team which included making the playoffs in those five years and a conference championship.
