@stevekylerNBA Rob Hennigan will hold a press conference today at 5:30 p.m. Pretty telling that Magic may not do anything else.

Ugh

[Magicman28 295]

@MagicalNBA Magic could offer a guy like Harrison Barnes the max this summer without blinking. Lots of freed up $$$

 

 

Lol.

[Jay Magic 1,251]

@OrlandoMagic Hennigan: Jennings & Ilyasova will provide depth, experience as Magic push for playoffs.

My experience over the last 2 decades.

 

Rob made this deal, because it was a calculated and smart move.

[magicdoc1 261]

Rob this deal mainly to free up #12 for Dwight Howard. :)

[Trey Time 186]

Fire Otis.

‏@Chris_Broussard Brandon Jennings on trade to Orlando: "I'm happy to reconnect with (Coach) Skiles."

[Miller4Prez66 545]

May not do anything else today maybe, but there is a few days left and I'm sure Rob will be looking for a suitor for Frye. At this point I'd take almost anything we could get for him since Ilyasova makes him pointless to have on the roster.

Rob made this deal, because it was a calculated and smart move.

 

 

Rob didn't make this deal.

 

Martins made this deal because he only knows how to trade away a star and to trade for salary.

 

This team will always suck until you fire this guy.

@tobias31 - "Want to thank everyone in Orlando for some amazing years! I'm happy and excited for whats next in Detroit"

[Jay Magic 1,251]

So with Tobias gone and these 2 probably not here next year that is how much cap room so far?

 

16mil off ruffly?

[Justin Jaudon 221]

its his conjecture.

 

but he's probably 80% correct.

 

Skiles "I need vets!!!"

 

Hennigan "how can I appease him without destroying our future?" "how about we trade for two of your old players"

 

Skiles "fantastic!"

 

I get that, but doesn't trading for two of his former players at our two most needed positions make perfect sense? This team desperately needed a PG with experience - check. We've been trying to get a decent stretch 4 - check. Everyone here agrees we needed to offload Harris' contract to stay fluid in the future - check.

 

Jennings and Illyasova will need virtually no time to pick up the defensive scheme, as they were playing in it just a few years ago. Skiles gets what he wanted, help to make a playoff push. Hennigan gets his stretch 4 and more financial flexibility. The fans get to see more Vic/Fournier/Hezonja/Gordon playing time. Everybody wins.

 

I get why Skiles would love this. What I don't get is why Hennigan wouldn't. And what does Martins have invested in this? It was and is a strange comment by Magicman28.
