I thought there was report from a beat writer of a rift between him and Magic last season due to Magic's lack of availability in the office, but I can't find that article anywhere. Did anyone else read something like that or am I going crazy?
The fact that he's in line to gain more power he seems like the kind of worker to take the blame and accept the challenge to right the mess when the going gets tough.
I'd hope we stop with the bullsh** dramatics and just stabilize the franchise with Luke and Rob staying intact. Despite injuries, having to use Rondo heavy minutes and Lebron/Kuzma's lack of defensive drive Luke has us in the top 6 defensively again in the last 11 games. He did what he could with a tragically flawed roster.
From everything I have read Pelinka is in the office everyday all day and puts in tons of time... We also don't know how much Magic trusted in Pelinka or allowed him to do his job and who was ultimately trying to strike the deals.
We'll see how this all shakes out but I agree on stability at this point. A key for fans is not to fall into the rabbit hole with all this backstabbing talk and trying to find the culprit when I think it was more a comment by Magic on the state of doing business in the NBA and not directed at anyone person.
Hmm, just listened to the Mason and Ireland show from earlier today. So they confirmed that it's a running joke in the office "where's magic?" cause he's rarely there. But they also said that might be a little part of why Magic left, cause he thought they were talking about him behind his back.
