That sounds like he knows the axe is about to drop.

yep... exactly

He wants to be that guy that said "I Quit this job" before management can open their mouths and say, "You're Fired!"

This is the same guy who was going to do that horrible NJ/Port/Orl trade before the season started... luckily management stepped in and put a gag order on Otis.

This is the same guy who gave out bloated contracts and made idiotic trades... putting us in salary cap hell.

I hope a parade is thrown the day he leaves or is fired.

@BQRMagic
Don't hold your breath on the Magic dumping Turkoglu and Duhon this summer. Hard to imagine there'll be any takers for either on trade mkt.

I am imagining Otis in that Snickers commercial with Roseanne. You know the one? So he's sitting there talking to Alex and says he likes this team and then gets smoked by a log and is gone forever off to ruin some other team.

God, we should have amnestied Hedo or Duhon

Lol... they are so bad... I just wish the Magic could waive them, that's how awful they are :lol: ... and they might as well... we're paying Gilbert Arenas almost $60mil to play for Memphis.

Hey funny thought just occurred... Orlando is eliminated from the playoffs, and Gilbert is still alive in the playoffs.

Fire Otis.

Otis is a pretty cocky fella.... He would definitely say that knowing he's gone and everyone who loves this team wants him out. The sad part is, it IS possible to get a worse GM, but I think Otis is close to that level of incompetence.

Anyone have any good Duhon memes? I wanna send one to my friend who said Duhon isn't as bad as everyone says he is.

This thread is already better than 90% of what has been on the boards in the past season since the FA speculation thread.
