He was the one that played Mario the Most. I think management was the one who screwed Mario the most.

He only played Mario when he was forced to due to injuries and, only then, did he discover Mario's ability.   Management counted on someone's advice on Mario, my thought is it was Vogel's.  I place the Mario debacle directly on Vogel!

Aaron Gordon was asked what an "ideal" contract would be when he becomes a restricted free agent in July. His answer: "Ideal is max. That would be ideal. Three letters. ... Definitely here."

Aaron played himself out of a max this season. Let the market dictate value and go from there.

Yeah, but I think we should match the 4 year free agent max if he gets offered that. 

Because paying a 22 million per year guy 27 million per year for 4 years isn't that big of a deal.

Best quote of the day!

AG - “We need someone to hold their stars accountable.” When asked what is needed in the next coach

AG said the next coach needs to hold stars accountable. I just.... What do you take from that?

Is he talking about himself? Does he think Evan and Vuc are the stars?

[magicdoc1 261]

Of all available coaches out there, the one more experienced and more qualified is:: 

yep! Frank Vogel. Likely heading to New York. I dont like the guy but I dont see anyone more experienced out there. I dont think we can go with a rookie coach again. 

It is laughable when people think that Borrego or Stackhouse will do a better job.

I friggin love Hezonja, sign him next summer 5 year super max for what he's able

He wants Fizdale who wasn't afraid of putting Marc Gasol in his place. Maybe he's tired of European Centers :)

One thing i do know is NONE of us can predict the future. For all we know Stackhouse could be the next great coach.

We just gotta roll with whatever management does and see what happens

I'd be happy with Fizdale
