Rob contradicts himself: "We believe in our players and the talent level of our players.".....then "I put the blame more on me."

Which is it dude? Unless he puts the blame on himself for hiring Vaughn in the first place in which case, fair enough.

Rob just said if Borrego has a good end of the season, he'd absolutely be seriously considered as head coach.

If he's the greatest source of issues, why did he fire Jacque + 3 assistants?

:D

I think Hennigan has done his job. He's brought in young talent that still has a ton of potential. JV just struggled to consistently put the pieces together. Henny's job should be secure right now.


I was just joking, obviously Rob wasn't the source of the problems, otherwise he'd be fired. He was just trying to take defer some of the negativity.

He was just being politically correct, but that struck me as something funny.

Now that Vaughn's officially fired, it's time to start tweeting Karl: https://twitter.com/CoachKarl22/with_replies

The Magic fired the assistants to clear the way for a hire in the near future. I hope it's Karl, I think he's the fit.

Karl would be fantastic. He is my #1 guy assuming Thibs is unrealistic. Just not completely sold Karl will be interested in coming here

In the past, George Karl had said that he preferred a team out West, but sources say he would be interested because Magic job is attractive.

If he is considering now after stating he prefers to stay out west then I stand corrected. I would be very happy with him.

George Karl would be a shocking turn around for the players. I don't see a reason not to hire him tomorrow.

Yeah he has acknowledged before he is responsible for the total package. Coaching staff, players, etc.

This is a terrible place to be as a fan and franchise. We need to tank, we want a new coach, the goals are at odds with each other.

While on 580, Rob also said this was his call; no one else.

Thanks for the wonderful input. Jesus.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.
