Over the past three season only two franchises have won more games than us. As much as we may think Otis isn't doing his job, he sure did it a sight better than the other general managers with the other super stars. He has always tried to put the best product on the floor. But we aren't the Lakers guys. We don't get super stars for scraps. It is what it is. Dwight wants to leave, then so be it.
Excellent post.
I'm just tired of this fire Otis crap. I'm not saying i agree with all his moves, but he tried and that's more than i can say for some other GM's. The whole Magic organization deserves a standing ovation for what they have done for Dwight. The owner spent obscene amounts of money, the coach SVG has stood up to the NBA to protect him against the beating he takes, even going as far as to get fined for it.
Otis has consistently tried to upgrade the roster. He brought in the best free agent on the market in Rashard Lewis and it took us to the finals. We lost because we didn't have a go to wing scorer so he got Vince Carter and we made it to the conference finals but Vince was a disappointment. Last year we looked dead in the water and he pulled off a trade that had us looking red hot until it fell apart. And lost to a Hawks team looking for revenge for the beating we put on them a year earlier.
Dwight has been an All-Star garnering the greatest total votes ever, we built a new arena and he was in movie and all kinds of stuff. all in Orlando. Yet he's gonna leave our franchise because he reportedly didn't get his voice heard in trades? Are you kidding me? I'm sorry but this is not on The Orlando MAgic or Otis Smith. It's all on the big broad shoulders of the so called Superman
Changes will be made.
