Justin Jaudon 221 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 That's because Skiles wanted them specifically. Strange that Skiles then promptly sat both of them on the bench and gave them both the least minutes of their respective careers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fan for too long 2 527 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 What the ***** are you talking about? Hey Rob, the coach we forced on you decided to quit and even though you went above and beyond to fix that relationship we're firing you. Do you manage any people in real life? We'd never get a decent gm to come here again Where do you see this info that skiles was forced on rob? Please inform us all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Jaudon 221 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 Yep. And this is just more evidence it was an appeasement move What exactly is evidence of that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They both sucked. Jennings would have run with the job of he didn't put up a stinker the second game he was here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 What exactly is evidence of that? Are you seriously sitting here thinking we didn't make that trade for Skiles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Jaudon 221 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 Where do you see this info that skiles was forced on rob? Please inform us all. There is none. All evidence is that Skiles was suggested to Rob, but told to make his own decision. But people like blaming Martins, and love blaming Skiles, because it absolves Rob of any responsibility.

Magicman28 295 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 If that is the case then rob should have been fired. If you hire a coach that quits in less than a year after you make this **** deal to appease said coach. That should have been the end of the rob experience. You're not connecting the dots right. Skiles contacts Martins----->Martin's "suggests" Skiles----->Skiles is hired------>Skiles gets impatient and doesn't think it's a good fit and gets players he's comfortable with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magicdoc1 261 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 The Rockets are sending Corey Brewer and a first-round pick to the Lakers for Lou Williams, league source tells @TheVertical. so much of Magic saying Williams trade value "will take a lot". That is simple trash. very low first round pick. They are clearly tanking and we cant allow that to happen. We can loose their first round pick next year if they end up been a top 3 pick.

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 Where do you see this info that skiles was forced on rob? Please inform us all. Are you new here? He bypassed operations and went straight to devos to lobby for the job. Then it was reported that martins pushed for him. This was so obvious at the time rob had to field questions at the introductory press conference denying it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Jaudon 221 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 Are you seriously sitting here thinking we didn't make that trade for Skiles? I'm saying Skiles isn't to blame for us not getting a pick. I think it's likely Skiles suggested getting them, but doubtful he demanded Rob get his guys, at all cost, and then made sure Rob didn't even ask for a pick.
