So Umm, Still Think Stan Is A "Championship" Coach?

[maginno]

I'll just keep doing what I do and leave the laughable threads to you. If this thread is any indication, then you have the market cornered on comedy.

Well not cornered. Adonis and 123 had a few laughers too. Still this is my favorite of the lot

you somehow come up w/ the theory that "JJ major offensive arsenal is jumpshots"... really?

Never gets old.

Last year we could have gotten Byron Scott or Avery Johnson but now there isn't crap out there though.

Really, because they have done better in this league? Byron Scott is one of the least dedicated coaches in the league his preperation level is mediocre at best. Avery Johnson, the man who blew a 2-0 lead in the finals, then got merked by an 8 seed.

very weak

Anyone ever look back and think what kind of team we would be if Billy Donovan decided to stay?

Both are bad choices imo.

P.S.:

Still doesn't change the fact that posters outside the Magic forum think you suck and you get zero respect Cammo.

You're the Rodney Dangerfield of RealGM except you don't make us laugh.

None of my business, but I actually read cammo's posts. We often disagree about some things but I do respect his opinion.

what do you guys think we end up doing with jrich?

Hopefully keep him .. But If I'm Otis, I would explore his value close to the deadline .. There are some good players available but dunno if shaking the team up again would do us good ..

I hope he can become more than a shooter here in ORL, cause he's always been more

Oh you mean by having the Magic setup to sign Tim Duncan, Grant Hill, and Tracy McGrady?

Or do you mean by having Tim Duncan stay in San Antonio so we successfully sign Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady and also draft ROY Mike Miller?

Or do you mean Grant Hill being injured for most of his time here as me "seriously making things up"?

Tryin to figure it out cause if you don't think that's being setup to succeed but a guy choosing to stay w/ his team, a guy who became a SUPERSTAR, and a SUPERSTAR on the verge of MEGASTARdom but just not being able to get over an injury as being unsuccessful then you're wrong.

The execution of the plan was flawless.

You herbs trying to point out the fact that we were "capped out" is ridiculous.

Of course you're capped out when you sign 2 guys who 1 was worth every penny and the other was projected to be worth MORE than the contract he was signed to but injury ruined that.

But let you tell it and being capped out because of Rashard Lewis isn't a mistake and a better job than Gabe...and speaking of which who do you think was the guy who made it possible to have the cap room to sign Lewis?

Weisbrod and I'm sure he wouldn't have maxxed that dude out like Otis.

Stan needs to use his players better.

You said Gabriel "always" had us in a position to go after a top FA. That was false, it happened once, and once alone. After that, the money was spent and we were not in that position again until 2007.

Neither Weisbrod nor Gabriel had us "set up to win". Not even close, as the 43 win best season indicates. You can try and play off the Hill injury as a bad luck, but it was only bad luck on Grant's part, it was horrific research and judgement on the part of the Orlando Magic.

And I'll tell you, he may not have been close to worth a max deal, and it may well have been a mistake, but the Rashard Lewis signing was a much better one than Grant Hill. Grossly overpaying a guy who became a vital cog in a team that went to the Finals is a superior move to giving a max deal to a guy without properly checking out the extent of his injuries and having him spend the majority of his seven years in Orlando on the bench.

Keep running in circles and a throwing stuff out there, maybe you'll get something right. Even a stopped clock is correct twice a day (although knowing you, you'll use a 24hour clock and only manage to be correct once).
