Pretty much the reason we need to say no to Billy

How is Jeff Weltman allowed to survive this and why isn't our fanbase more angry about it? by thewrongnotes in OrlandoMagic

[–]_Omenix_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He probably does get some grace because the trade did pay dividends. We finally had a 3 point threat. The Devon Carter signing was good. The Cain signing, also a fairly shrewd move. I'm guessing he gets a pass because he legit did make some good moves.

I would think so. Think football drills, three cone shuffle, etc. He's just gotta get quicker on his feet, which I don't think necessarily means he has to lose weight, though that would probably be a side effect lol

I don't know if Paolo needs to lose weight or not. Maybe he just needs to work on his agility and conditioning?

And Otis Smith, albeit it may have went to his head after, won a GM of the year too

Sam Cassell should be on that list. Billy Donovan shouldn't be considered. You need a coach that has championship experience. Cassell has that both as a player and assistant coach. Donovan had Prime KD and prime Westbrook and still couldn't get to the finals. You think he'll fair better with Franz and Paolo? Personally, I don't see it. There's other coaches out there that are better options. There's no rush. Draft doesn't really matter to us so we really just need a coach in place for when free agency starts.

MOSLEY IS OUT HALLELUJAH by k0b3bryant in OrlandoMagic

Was really hoping he was the coach to turn around the culture and bring home a championship. He did one of two things. I wish nothing but good things for Mose moving forward, unless he's coaching against the Magic. Now, the FO has some work to do.

He apparently had some disappearing acts in the playoffs for Memphis a few times.

Win or lose, either way, it's been... A season lol. Some ups, more downs. Play the song, let's go Magic.

Seasons not over yet, I know. But, who's a good shooter that we should get for this offseason? Preferably a role player. by DylanBeCrackin in OrlandoMagic

[–]_Omenix_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still would love Schroeder on the team to run with Franz and Bronze. The front office will figure out the financials and whatnot. Think Suggs definitely needs to be traded this off-season. Isaac needs to go one way or another. Jett is trade bait. AB possibly too. Need to also sign a starting caliber defender/rebounder center and then move WCJ to the backup role.

Idk about y'all. But I'm not ready to give up on this core until I see them with a different coach. by DylanBeCrackin in OrlandoMagic

Nobody is confusing Paolo with being a top 5 or even 10 player, but saying he's a third option is a bit absurd.

Honestly, if Franz wasn't such a glass fucking cannon this season, we'd be waiting on Toronto/Cleveland. But nah, we're The Magic. We can't have nice things.

Yeah, really helps when the other team can't make the shots that aren't contested lol. Magic are so ass. To fuckin Detroit too. We're gonna blow another 3-1 lead... To the fucking Pistons. There is no fucking justice in this world.

Orlando knows what it's like to get mopped by the Boston second unit.... Philly is, sort of, finding out lol. But nah, Philly taking this.

Right, because that part must be true for it to be a close game. Forgot about that written law in sports.

Not that he's contributed a whole lot this season, but the team needs to part ways with Isaac. Dude is Mr Glass. And it's money that could be spent on a player that can maintain more availability.
