Thank you Jeff for everything you did for the Orlando Magic. We will miss you!

Truly played a vital role this season. The team will not be the same without you.

For the tank. Seriously, why would we want to win meaningless games?

What would it have cost if we let him play? I mean MCW and Randle as PG over Teague?

I made the Clark thread sarcastically. I am well know for wanting Clark GONE.

p.s. there was never an Aminu thread, for example.

Management treating players correctly helps in future FA conversations. Teague did not want to be in Orlando, as far as I can tell, so then, just waive him.

This seems different for Porter. I guess he is trying to maximise his stats for his personal free agency.

Really? Teague said that? I thought we were the one who said to him frst not to bother packing his bags bec. we were waiving him?

I don't know what Clark did to earn the ire of anyone. He is just a physically limited player that was largely ineffectual for us. He didn't have a large enough role to have much of an impact on this team. He wasn't why we won. He wasn't why we lost. You can't really blame guys for not impacting the outcome of games when they really aren't tasked with doing so. I didn't see much point in carrying him on the roster because he had no upside, but it was always irrational to blame him for our woes.

Given our dearth of point guards and empty roster spot, I'd imagine we gave him a call. I don't know.

You can definitely botch these scenarios if you don't communicate with the player. I recall that Hennigan botched things with Al Harrington after the Howard trade. I don't think this front office would make the same mistake.

If we don’t retire his jersey then the entire system has no purpose.

Teague was here one minute and gone the next.

Number 0, 00, 44, and 55 should hang in the rafters one day

Is that Andrew " White Hammer" Declerq you are talking about? If so, I approve.
