    I am in the other boat with Rob. I questioned him at year 2 with Vaughn trying to run a spurs type system with non spur type players, forcing Dipo at point, forcing Harkless to be a prime 3, and then we "waived" Nelson. Vaughn doesn't survive year 3, and comes in his filler.

     

    I was done with Rob at year 3 of the current 5yrs. I questioned his design from the start with the hiring of a rookie coach when we needed a Veteran Coach, like I said years ago.

     

    Rob is just really bad at being a GM period.

    It would be nice to acquire the better of our pick or the Nets since I doubt we can find a way to acquire the Nets pick out right. At least at that point we probably have a 75% chance of landing one of the top 2 picks and thus not needing a talent to fall to us (which it hasnt lately). Hard to believe the best thing to look forward to this year is the damn ping pong balls again.....uggh

     

    I hate wishing on the floating number system.... but it's the only silver lining we have right now... 5yrs after the fact.... sigh.... one day we will be good

    wait, he was trying to save his job by trading for Ibaka?

     

    what? that doesn't even make sense.

     

    Yes, Rob needs this team to go to the playoffs this year to save his job, you knew this as well as I did... don't know your acting like your ignorant to this notion. He made the move to hit that mark with Ibaka. But again your acting ignorant.

     

    So here P4W, read this to help your intentional ignorance:

    Maybe someone else can help you.

    Unfortunately all these grand trade ideas or no more than vapor... the blood is heavily in the water for the Magic, every front office knows this:

     

    "They’re asking too much,” one front office executive said. “(The Magic) would probably like to make a few moves there, but Ibaka is the one they’re really pushing because he is going to leave. But they have had too high a price. They want a young player and a pick, two young players — you know, a package that can get them back some assets. They’re not going to get that. Not for three, maybe four months of Serge Ibaka.”

     

    That statement says basically that the league is not going to turn over for the Magic. They know we have a sinking boat that they will be happy to watch sink.

    News of Orlando pushing hard for a Ibaka trade is just down right embarrassing.

     

    Rob trades away 2 young players for a rental and desperate attempt to save his job, only to come out 2 months later to try and trade away the same guy he gladly gave 2 young players for. And the word is, Rob is looking for young players and a pick.

     

    That sir is a complete Oxymoron, by a complete Moron. Results speak, Rob is dumb.

    Yeah. He traded prospects for picks. Then selected prospects. Then flipped those prospects for picks.

     

    He dumped every average prospect he got from those picks for future picks.

     

    Because he wanted to be the worst team. We didn't. He made 12 second round picks. Only 2 guys remained on Philly's roster when Hinkie was fired.

     

     

    So i say again, would it make you happy if we dumped Zimmerman for two future seconds because that's what Philly did.

     

     

    Also i believe we traded Layman for a second round pick that we then flipped for meeks

     

    Goodness P4W, are you Rob Hennigan? I mean if we fire Rob, does that me you go away?

     

    You post non stop garbage defending Rob and his thoughts, his picks, his trades, his drafts, his vision and his architecting ability. Are you in bed with this guy? Is Rob black mailing you? Are you the actual GM of the Magic?

    That's BS from the billionaire owner.... He can afford it..... He's the Donald Sterling of the East.

     

    It is BS.... and guess what... the Devos family will be seeing a lot of heat with Betsy running Education... if she fails and the city of Orlando starts calling for new ownership.... the storm with be too much for the Devos to maintain their 20 year stance.

    Who is the team firing on a yearly basis? Who/what is this revolving door of management? What constitutes "more in and outs" when the same front office has been in place for 5 years? Wouldn't that technically be "one in and out?"

     

    Ironically I believe our roster turnover has been higher than the average NBA team. Does the front office really know what it is doing?

     

     

    No the front office has no freaking clue and it seems that the Devos family is more than happy to take your money for a crap product... sounds familiar huh

    Also i do not care what anybody says Bismack is not worth that money... I want to trade him.

     

    I believe we could get alot more from a player for 17min per year...Rim protection or not.

     

    It has been a overpay. He has been very poor.

     

    Only way it is justified if we made the playoffs and did well in the playoffs

     

    Point
