Debonair 106 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 Yes they are. really? I thought they can fire your ass with no hesitation and not have to buy out your contract or none of that jazz. either way I really don't see Stan being the coach of the magic after next season if they don't win a 'ship 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something that weirdly enough has been happening ever since those two have been put in charge. It's so mistifying. Why would the Devos family ever want to continue such a dumb tradition?

BMP 424 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 As far as I know, the Magic have not won a ring. But have stayed competitive enough to continue working on the things that team has succeed on. Only one team wins a championship every year, and losing in the Finals or ECF is no reason to stop doing what you're doing. In fact, 4 teams out of 30 make it to the conference Finals, so you had to win quite a bit to get there, and had to be doing something right. In other words, you don't blow up a team (or even drastically change, unless it's for an obvious upgrade such as Chris Paul) that has gotten where only one other team got to two years in a row (that team being the Lakers, but besides the Lakers, no other team in the league besides the Orlando Magic has gotten to the Finals and Conference Finals in the past two years).
