Live or Die Magic 383 Report post Posted April 6, 2012 Like Woj said in the article, Stan is a top five coach. I can't wait for another Johnny Davis to take over. Will be great. Oh man! I cannot even see Davis or Brian Hill on TV, as an assistant coach for the opposing team, without shivering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arielle 138 Report post Posted April 6, 2012 To add, rumors exist that it was Dwight who demanded those trades Otis made (at least getting Hedo back). Gortat and Dwight weren't seeing eye to eye at that point and Gortat wasn't exactly balling either which didn't help the situation. Talks also suggested that Dwight wanted Hedo back. Dwight has done more damage in the last 1 1/2 years than we all realize. It's a lesson for a newbie organization like the Magic. Don't let your stars dictate your every move. Must have a passionate basketball professional upstairs or crap like this happen. Stan is that guy who loves basketball for us. Magic CANNOT choose Dwight over Stan. If they do, it will be a temporary fix for something that will not end pretty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the notorious S.A.C. 89 Report post Posted April 6, 2012 This board needs to really get over its collective hard-on for 2 second round picks and Ish Smith. Or failing that, provide a doctor's note to explain this kind of collective intellectual failure. Im with DOM on this one. These guys being saviors is an indication of the garbage assembled by Otis. If youve got to root for guys like that to be contributors then your roster is full of bums and overvalued players. These guys wouldnt even be on the Bulls or OKC's roster let alone have a chance of being a fan favorite. How Otis has gotten away with spending so much of Devos' money and assembling so very little in return is way beyond me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its remarkable how everywhere little man hill goes the Princeton offense drags the offense and the team down the tubes. I dont get how he finds employment anywhere. Hill and Otis were a match made in heaven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PlugNickel 7 Report post Posted April 6, 2012 Billy Donivan returning to Florida was the best thing to ever happen to Otis Smith. Had we not gotten SVG Otis would have rightfully been fired by his 3rd season. Its nice that someone in media recognizes Stan as one of the best coaches in the league. A lot of fans fail to realize this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zara 74 Report post Posted April 7, 2012 http://www.nba.com/magic/video/2012/04/06/vangundy040612mp4-2059134 Stan sounds like he's been told to deflate the whole thing and play out the season. ["i recognize as a valid point that i shouldn't have answered the question" at around 14:00 and onwards, "regret it", "that's my fault for not understand you guys better and seeing the implications of what i was saying", "we are paid very very good money", etc...] We weren't gonna win it all anyway this year, and given that nobody's gonna care day-to-day (we're not LA or Miami), perhaps even that (keeping Stan) is doable...
