Sources: Howard demands SVG to be fired

[Pootie Tang]

Well i wouldn't necessarily say 'boss' but SVG is his coach. That being said the NBA is a business and owners are going to do what they can to continue to generate money. Losing Dwight = losing money. As good as a coach as Stan is (and d12 clowns me every time i say that) Dwight > Stan in the organizations eyes. I definitely respect what Stan has done, but it just seems like players and other people near them feel like he's overstayed his welcome

 

I can respect that and understand you're likely to end up right. Dwight's definitely not earning any new fans this way though.

 

This is less an Orlando Magic problem and more a structure of the NBA problem. Players hold way too much power.

[Manu Ginobili]

here we go again

 

This summarizes EVERYTHING

[Shock Phantom]

I'm ok with Stan leaving as long as Otis goes with him.

[Bauncey Chillups]

Better brace ourselves for the Nate McMillan era

[~O~]

I'd like everyone to take into consideration that this is a rumor and not "FACTS". There has been no proof and this doesn't change anything. Who the ***** is "SOURCES"? PIngalore???? Get the ***** out of here.

Well from the sounds of it Magic fans are split on Stan leaving/staying.

 

And i agree players hold too much power, but star players = fans = $$$$$. Nowadays seems like thats all the NBA''s worried about anyway lol

Im shocked that most people would rather have SVG over Dwight,we lose Dwight,we become irrelevant as a team.

 

Thank you.

 

Sorry but if you look at it in a owners prospective, Dwight is going to keep selling tickets not SVG.

[Aussie Magic fan]

If Stan does get fired, then who do we replace him with? I don't want McMillan here...Give me Phil Jackson and that's it...

 

The real issue here is Otis needs to go...He's built this team and made us suck.

 

Duhon

Bloody Arenas

Re-signing JRich instead of Crawford

Big Baby (although he's been ok lately)

Drafting Orton

trading Gortat for nothing

 

Otis just has no GM skills and needs to go

[For the love of the game]

They should go after Billy D again, lets repeat that circus!

Unless, with a crappy coach, the Magic barely sniff the playoffs, maybe first round exit at best, year after year after year after year after year. Attendance will slowly start declining, fans will get fed up with Dwight for running the franchise's most successful coach out of town, and he'll probably leave anyways once he sees the grass truly isn't greener with a different coach, and leave us without a franchise player OR a great coach. While "franchise" players are hard to come by, it seems great coaches are even rarer. Right now, just about every team has a "franchise" player (heck, Miami has 2, maybe 3), but the list of "franchise" coaches is even slimmer.

 

I'm in the Keep "SVG at all costs" camp. We can draft new talent, we can bring in guys in FA, but to go from SVG (50+ wins every season, a trip to the Finals, two trips to the ECF) to someone like McMillan (who I don't think has ever won a playoff series) is downright awful.

 

We bring in players that will listen to SVG and lead by example on the court, we win games. We win games, the fans will come anyways. Winning sells tickets too.

I think it's time for SVG to go. I like him, but we've slowly declined the past few years. Not all his fault but what franchise doesn't eventually make this kind of decision. I don't know another coach who we could get who could make us an instant contender again, but what do you guys think of Brian Shaw? He could probably bring the Traingle here. I think we need a shot creator for this offense though. Let me know what you guys think.

So your dishwasher is acting up and you choose to replace the 'fridge? I'm confused.
