Sooo it was an issue...

Him not being Hennigans guy was an issue as well.

Yeah but how does that apply to this situation?

Don't let Martins hire a hot headed coach who say they're in on a 2-3 year rebuild but decide to override the GM's rebuild plan so they can take over or they'll quit.

Trae "liked" the hire Magic made on Twitter, it sounds he wants to be a Magic really bad!

Maybe I'm a sucker but I liked what I was hearing from Clifford in the presser. He sounds demanding but I think our young team needs someone demanding.

That’s a contender.

Patience is a virtue.

For that line up to be a contender Oladipo and Gordon would need to be all stars with Harris, Fournier and Vuecvic playing to a borderline all star level. For me I'd agree with @HeHateMe, that line up looks like a 7th seed at best.

Agreed, that line up does look like a 7th seed, but if Oladipo and Gordon became perennial all stars, while Harris, Vucevic and Fournier played to a good level, that line up could be competitive in the eastern conference because it's pretty well rounded. I doubt we'd win any defensive accolades but from an offensive stand point that five can all score, plus Harris was decent from 3 point range, while Oladipo and Fournier were acceptable. So floor spacing shouldn't be a major issue. Like I said it looks like a 7th seed, but in the east it could spring a surprise depending on how the top four seed plays.

Certainly not an appealing coach, imho.

If he holds them accountable and can make them play hard and unselfishly, maybe it can work. How long is his contract?

Maybe we can finally beat the hornets

I'm still skeptical about a team making the playoffs while starting Vucevic

I think Vuc-Draymond-KD-Klay-Curry could get there

While Clifford is is a disappointing hire, I am happy that Magic did not hire Stackhouse

How was the presser? No one besides you came away with anything?
