That's funny, because that's all you spew out.


Maybe you don't know how to read? I haven't made a single negative comment about the Magic since the day they canned Hennigan. Unlike you, I'm a magic fan and not a fan of one single person. When one person has run my favorite team into the ground, I'd prefer they got fired. Seeing as that's what happened here, it looks like Magic brass agrees with me. I win. :clown:



No but you take every oppurtunity to bash him, even creating threads for it. We all know how much you hate him, you don't need to announce it everyday. You don't win jack ****. :clown:


I'm not a Magic fan? Lmao! Been one since day 1, I was at their first ever game in '89 when I was 6.

MOD EDIT: Removed some content. This is a baiting attempt. Please stop pestering him about a guy who isn't even in our front office anymore.



What's the last thread I created about Hennigan? Don't worry, I'll wait...

Someone brought him up in this thread and I responded to that. I also posted in the "Henny has a new title" thread, that was created by someone else. You have some sick obsession with following everything I post about Hennigan. I post on all things Magic, and have on here since 2003. You only choose to see the things related to your favorite GM of all time. As for fandom, been a fan of the Magic since I moved to the US in 1997.

MOD EDIT: Removed last part. Please add him to your ignore list.
I live rent free in your head. You know who you are :D

Not changing this sig until Magic win a championship. Started 6/26/2015.

Underrated move. This is how you build a winning culture. Making the young guys realize there was a winning culture here ones- granted T-Mac didn't get us past the first round but he is a true HOFer and one of the greatest offensive players in NBA history.

Learn from the Magic masters!

Maybe Penny can come teach EP how to shoot and 3D and Nick can help Mario find his 3 point stroke again lol

Seriously though. When you start getting franchise pillars involved, that's when you build up the reputation of the franchise. The Magic have been decent in that in the way they have gotten guys like Nick Anderson and Bo Outlaw involved, but when you start to get your stars involved then we start to form a culture built on tradition.


I think this is especially true because ALL of the young gods that left, even Dwight, have expressed at least some regret about leaving the way they did. They were all kids then who have a lot more perspective to offer now. It’s a good move to never strike back when an immature kid bashes you...now it may pay if they can share their perspective with our present kids before they make bad PR and career decisions. Mentorship means a lot more when it comes from players who were better than you’ll ever be and still take an interest in you. McGrady’s come across really humble and insightful in recent interviews.

Plus...these affiliations remind the world that this organization has a fairly successful legacy in its relatively short history. In national news, we are INVISIBLE, underrated, irrelevant. This could help remind NBA fans and players that we can be a destination (we were in the mix before, why not?)-still no tax, great weather, great facilities, now good FO, etc

It’s like the organization is learning... I’m pretty shocked considering this is common sense move. It has to be the influence of Weltman and Hammond.

It would not be a surprise if he assists with recruiting free agents to the Magic


Orlando could be good next year and will have a great deal of cap space in two years. Having a champion for FAs is a great idea.

The Magic brass is investing in the long game ! (here is hoping it is not the "long con").

I'm not a hater of players who leave. We kick players out the door every year when it suits our interests, so we have to be more understanding of players like Howard and T-Mac walking.

Still, I don't share the love for T-Mac many of you do. The guy only played 4 seasons here. Just 4 out of 14 seasons! lol. Less than a third of his games were with Orlando!

Yes, his best days were in Orlando and those times were fun but T-Mac ranks behind Nick Anderson, Jameer Nelson, Darrel Armstrong and more on my favorite Magician list.

He can really help Isaac and AG develop their one on one games.

Return to Orlando Magic
