Class act. Great guy. But his injury and failed expectations make him the biggest FA let down in Magic history. His salary prevented us from building a better team around T-Mac.



So we should add Doc Rivers to this list. He told Duncan that his fiancé wouldn't be allowed on the team plane.


Yep, Grant Hill was on NBA TV a few months ago and said he was at the dinner when that happened. And that the energy went right out of the room when he said that. And what added insult to injury was Paul Pierce was there and said he did allow it with the Celtics. Doc was allowed way too much influence on player decisions too. He wanted Sasser, wanted to keep Meech instead of Ben Wallace and others.

It's got to be Grant Hill by a LANDSLIDE.

Second place... Fran Vazquez. :oops: :oops: :oops:

Being a FA letdown due to injury is far different than being one of the worst magic-men of all time.

Right? There was supposedly a plan to sign all three too. Duncan would have been an offensive machine here with Big Ben handling all the dirty work down low for him kind of like how Ho Grant did for Shaq.

Well, when I'm talking about worse, I'm talking about worse for us in the basketball sense. He ruined a huge era of Magic basketball. T-Mac was surrounded by a pathetic group of talent because we couldn't afford to add another star next to him. Grant Hill is the king of False Hopes.

But if you're talking about despicable human beings then there are of course many others.

The Grant Hill era was indeed awful. We had zero cap to afford any other players. I remember it quite well. Attending games was miserable. We had Tmac and then 4 scrubs around him.

4 scrubs once they traded Mike Miller away. :nonono:

It's Reggie Theus and he so happens to be my first favorite Magic player.

Although Duhon is very high on my list, Reese Gaines closely follows, but Gilbert Arenas is at the top for me.
