I love the idea of getting someone on the rise in here. I wouldn't be surprised with Malone as coach but Seems like Brian Shaws job to lose.

Is this fake? I don't believe anything you post.

Just checked, it's legit.

This gives me a little hope. Considering we have been terrible drafting outside of the lottery. Hope this improves our chances in the draft. Actually adds some excitement to the draft for me, because my attitude up to this point with regards to the draft was very pessimistic.

Rick Sund

The expansion Dallas Mavericks hired him in 1979 at 28 years of age, making him the youngest general manager in the NBA's history.

Dang, I thought we would be breaking an NBA record hiring Hennigan.

Well looks like we are getting the young talented fast riser. Def sounds better than all the other options. Lets hope that he becomes the NBA's version of Theo Epstein and win titles for the city of Orlando. Proud of the Magic for finally making a different move than the usual keep it in the family type of deal.

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA
If Jamal Crawford becomes a free agent, the Timberwolves, Pacers, Celtics, Heat, Clippers are expected to pursue him

Could we say that they are potential partners for JJ or Jrich?
