So I started to do a little check at the Orlando Executive Airport to see if anything was coming in or out to California. Just so happens that a flight left this morning at 10:30 AM to Burbank, CA via JetLinx which is a Private plane. Burbank is about 20 minutes outside of LA.

Checked up on the previous flights and whadya know that same plane has been to Burbank, CA one other time back on June 19th early am. The Clippers played on the 18th and the 20th of June.

I’m trying to figure out where your going with this??

Atkinson is Clippers assistant coach. Clippers just got eliminated Wednesday. Orlando probably had 2nd interview with Unseld Jr Wednesday/Thursday and are flying out to meeting with Atkinson today.

It's Unseld Jr vs Atkinson for the job

You, my friend, has just climbed the Mt.Rushmore of Magic posters here. You have joined the ranks of the Gortat cold plunge, the RDV lockdown and the ( whoever had us F5 CP3 deal )

BTW, when your friend says " The Magic" I thought it was magic johnson...LOL Which specific " Magic" does he mean?

It's possible/likely that Mosley will be available as an assistant coach for the Magic (and every other NBA team) as well.

I have to assume Jason Kidd will not be retaining him given the fact that he could view him as a threat given Luka's fondness for him.

Im guessing hes saying that they have secretly interviewed Atkinson once already and going to interview him again today?

Guess that’s where I’m a bit confused. Because wouldn’t that be public knowledge if any type of interview happened.You think they would allow one of their assistants to interview as their team was still in the playoffs?

Didn't they just do that with/for Chauncey?

Orlando Magic. They have a hangar where players park the cars and what not when they go on away trips. It’s pretty obvious when a parade of 100k+ cars pull in around the same time.

Does this mean Budinhisholster won't be our coach?

I actually just got a call from the Magic Org to do a coach interview. They said I could come in right after they intervew Pepe for the job.

Man... if Magic ownership heard what Pepe has to say about our players the devos family might just get depressed and sell the team.

Could you imagine those postgame interviews?

"Coach Pepe! Question: what did you see in the team tonight?"

Pepe: "Trash. Everyone on this team can't shoot, can't dribble, can't defend, and can't make Appletinis without looking up the recipe online. If I was the GM, I would fire all of these losers and find the 15 best 3-point shooters in the city and run them out there."

SPORTCENTER: We have reports that Coach Pepe of the Orlando Magic was seen scouting prospects at the JCC in Maitland. He is singing the praises of a 5'5 45 year old gentleman who he says "can't miss from half court".

So that Bleacher report about us wanting to interview Ham was bogus?

Well, they will get the available Tier-1 HCs, because they have playoff teams. Who wouldn't prefer to coach Dame or Doncic than Bamba?

We and the bad teams will get Tier-2 ones and hope to find a hidden gem, but in most cases they will be fired in a 3-year span.
