DunkinDerozan Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I guess the Magic will be starting fresh. They should just trade Howard to go along with the trend imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yup. Everyone knew this was coming. Who are the possible candidates to replace SVG, Smith? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted May 21, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Shaw, Malone, McMillan all come to mind. How hilarious would it be if Jeff Van Gundy was hired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Shaw, Malone, McMillan all come to mind. How hilarious would it be if Jeff Van Gundy was hired? That would be but I think he's loving his position behind the mic for ESPN/ABC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 SVG was a good coach, this is bs. Like who are we even going to hire now, he knew this team. Parting with Otis made sense, but I just don't get why we had to fire Gundy. I know Howard cried about him being there... but still...

EastCoastNiner Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 SVG was fired because he was one of the few coaches that would actually challenge Howard, and put him in his place. I hope Howard never wins anything the rest of his career. He still has no post game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check my Stats Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 This is why the NBA is so [expletive]ed up. And this sort of shit happens regularly I bet just a lot less publicly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMEWLS Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I'm still hating the decision to let go of Stan, he's one of the more underrated coaches in the league. The firing of SVG is only going to hurt more if Dwight eventually walks. How I'd kill for a Sloan or Jackson, don't think it's going to work. I'd be willing to give Ewing a shot just because he would probably know how to handle a superstar big man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
