Unfortunately the Magic were playing well but got punked by Detroit’s physicality and they shrunk. This team also has very low bball IQ. They cannot finish simple fast breaks, if they cant do that, then IDK what to tell you…

Signs of life. Penda with a couple of nice defensive plays.

Sure there is. One guy has a future here and one does not.

And the difference between them currently doesn't seem like it's all that wide, if there even is a gap.

With the way that teams are playing offensively, no we wouldn’t. We’d probably be in the same boat.

Firing the coach without firing the GM is nonsense to me

Weltham is the most responsible party. Sitting on his hands, snorting coke on his free time

Issac may be cooked. If he cant play elite defense he is useless.

These foul calls on both sides are weak.

He should be fired for this Penda nonsense alone

If JI is cooked why we didn't trade him for Bane? How dumb is that situation

I'm comfortable giving Mosley the first 20 games. That's more than enough time for things to stabilize. But if this is still bad then, he's gotta go.

I can guarantee you Isaac would provide much more value than Penda.

And Isaac is being paid 15 mil/year to have no future?

I'm starting to believe in curses now. Nothing else makes sense. None of this makes sense.

Cole's contract was easier for Memphis to get rid of.
