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.

Doc Rivers does it, Thibs does it, Phil does it, Pops does it... Stan doesn't
That really hit home to me... when the Inside the NBA website is updated with the video, I'll post it.
But man, that's so true.

...I advise everyone to watch the whole show... there are other talking points I found interesting regarding the Magic DJRajX wrote:arsenal6106 wrote:DJRajX wrote:What Charles, Kenny, and Shaq are saying about coaches is so true...

Thank you
Maybe I'm imagining it.........but it seems so obvious that they are talking about Stan.
They basically said the same things that we say on here. That he plays players based on reputation and loyalty, which, imo, is his only real fault.
It just happens to be a huge one.

Sources close to the process said that Magic director of player development Adonal Foyle ran the teams’ trade deadline, interfacing with other teams on the Magic’s behalf.
Otis Smith’s contract gives him right of approval on all transactions, so he was in the loop on what was possible but his role in day to day has been radically scaled back.
"Guys talk about having to have this car and that car, but I tell them, 'One car is plenty for me. I grew up riding a donkey,'" Foyle told the newspaper. "When you grow up with so little, it teaches you discipline. And you learn not to want for what you don't need. You learn how to do with what you have. It's a lesson a lot of guys in the NBA need to learn because this is an unrealistic way to live your life."
magicman123 wrote:so you wanna judge him by 1 hour of work in which we know nothing about? what if foyle agreed to a duhon for sessions trade but management didn't want to add more salary this year? we know absolutely nothing about what went on in that hour, otis said he wasn't planning on making any trades, foyle could of been ordering sushi and was ordered to not discuss basketball related issues
MoMM wrote:Ok, lets blame Adonal for his 1 hour job as a GM... come on!
Probably Otis just told him "If D12 changes his mind again during the conference, just calls NJ's GM and accept the deal, ok?".
MoMM wrote:I think he was one of the NBPA directors, right?
But i dont think its a good idea to have him as our GM, maybe Ast. GM. Thats a good position to start his FO career, IMO.
Having another guy from Golden State scares me.Foyle was born in Canouan, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. At the age of 15, Foyle was adopted by Joan and Jay Mandle, professors at Colgate University. In 1999, Foyle graduated from Colgate magna cum laude with a history degree.

My preference is for an experienced GM.....I think the Magic have proven time and time again that OJT for new GM's is an absolutely dimwitted move.

Magic#1 wrote:Foyle is a great guy, but a high FO position doesn't totally equate to being GM. They can promote him without making him the GM. Maybe it happens, but I still think we'd hire someone with experience.

Or, maybe I'll just throw something.
