foreal though, foyle is a very smart person, hes well respected across the league, but of course you got the unknown because hes never been a gm, but the intelligence is there, it could work, also a risk

Interesting, SVG thinks he can still work with Dwight.

Does anyone know if Adonal has a good relationship with D12? That could help him.

I had to log in just to let everyone know that a piece of me died, and when I checked the wiretap and saw that the Magic interviewed Foyle for the GM position, I knew why.

If the goal of an NBA team were to make stupid decisions that somehow had a Golden State Warriors connection then the Magic would be unquestionable champions.

Foyle seems like one of those guys who has a good relationship with everyone that he meets.

That's just the feeling I get from him.

Lol, with the way he's been going lately, it wouldn't shock me if he said just that....

I suspect that if SVG felt that, he would have no problem saying it.

Howard did say he thought SVG threw him under the bus! :lol:

I don't know, a little self awareness would be nice. I've not seen him address the issue of his big mouth in a contrite manner since the affair, yet he wants to spin that he can work with Dwight? If he is such a real dude like he says, then be real about this.

SOmeone at TBN floated this idea....

I wouldn't mind Foyle as the GM if we brought Walsh in as well. Walsh doesn't want to deal with the day to day things, and I think that would be right up Foyle's alley.


That sounds good to me.

Let Adonal handle the day-to-day stuff, while Walsh handles the big things (I'm guessing how that would work).

My guess is, though, Otis will remain the Pres of BBall Operations, while Foyle will be the GM. Meaning, Foyle handles the small things, while Otis still handles the big things. Great.

Hmmmm........

Sounds to me as if we need to clean house, if true.

No doubt he's pissed about whoever told Stan he tried to get him fired. Whoever told him should be fired by default.

The future of backup shooting guardJ.J. Redick, whose contract is unguaranteed for the 2012-13 season, meaning that the team would not owe him any money if it releases him before July 7.

I think there is no doubt about it, no mather who will run our team, we will pick his option.

Return to Orlando Magic
