Thank you Cole!

I for one appreciated and enjoyed your time here. On the court as well as in interviews and stuff like that.

I got real love for Cole. Thank you for everything.

His impact on the culture of the team, especially with how bad it was for the post-Dwight years before he was drafted is unreal. I wish him the best and will be rooting for him for the rest of his career

Cole was always over a top, funny dude. But i won't miss his missed dunks :lol:

Guy cared. Had limitations as player but really cared and tried and competed.

Seems like a good dude although awkward at times. Capable of carrying a team at times but too inconsistent and awful passer. He can a niche if he focuses on maximizing his strengths.

There is nothing quite like a Cole Anthony post-game interview, especially after a game-winning shot.

Also, for someone his size, guy has incredible dunking, blocking, and rebounding ability.

When he's on his game, he's fun to watch.

Best of luck to him in Memphis.

He might not have been really what we needed in a guard but he played hard, he improved hugely from when he was drafted and his attitude was infectious.

Best of luck to him.

his personality had as much to do with the turn around as the skills others had. He brought the joy back for me, He made you like this team because he wore his heart on his sleave.
Probably has 2 of the best dunks I've seen from any Magic player.

I was always a Cole defender. I will def miss him. With all his issues he always played hard. I wish him the best going forward. Hopefully he can find a home and improve his consistency

Hey, one of the best non-lottery picks we've ever made.

And he loved this team. I've got nothing but respect for him.

Thank you, Cole. There is no doubt you are one of my favorite players on the team. You are always nice and candid to the fans. You light people and your teammates up just by your personality. For whatever that is ahead of you, wish you nothing but the best! Go get it, Cole!

Nothing but respect for him. As many mentioned. He cared.

I will stop caring the moment he drops 40 and a game winner against us.

Has anybody seen any social media or otherwise messaging from Cole? I'd like to know he's not TOO busted up about this...I figured him for the kind of guy to graciously take out an ad or something thanking the fans, etc.

I watched the Suggs interview the day after the trade and he just had a huge smile about getting Bane and "what a great start to the day it was". It was almost like he didn't care KCP and Cole were gone....or he just saw the bigger picture about how massively better Bane is than them.
