The same people saying "no good coach will ever come here" are mad we hired the best possible coach
In fairness, those people were proven correct by us hiring a coach not considered a good coach.

knowing that we "cant hire a good coach"

Not really true. The only way the Pels can get a legit coach is to hire a first time coach, meaning taking a swing. For a team in our position, you should ALWAYS side for a first time coach over a retread hire you know is not a really awesome coach. You always have to take the risk, settling for the retread isn't the way to do it.

Love Fears and think he has high potential but he’s not a star player yet.

Hiring a guy like Dumars in the way they did pretty much killed any notion that we would take a swing like that

Yeah, they interviewed Rondo which is nice, but they of course did not hire him

Dumars is a dinosaur that does dinosaur things. So of course he replaces Willie Green with a more successful retread WIllie Green


That is not to say that Mosley won't or can't be successful here. He could be. He went to the playoffs 3 straight years with the Magic. We do have some talent on this roster. Maybe he does that.

Its just a boring uninspired hire that is exactly what you would expect from Dumars

We already did that with Willie, what GM wants to take a risk like that knowing their job is tied to them? Are we going to pretend that Dumars is untouchable like Mickey Loomis?

I'm not super in love with the hire and don't think he's an amazing coach, especially not this year, but I think he's better than Willie Green.

Now now. You know Gayle is not cheap. (Sarcasm). She is building a doctors office for those Ochsner doctors and she is saving the cathedral and spreading a ton of money to bring our teams to Paris. She is also saving PBS when Trump was going to rip it . (Sarcasm) .

He can coach defense, I'll give him that. He NEEDS to get Micah Nori from Minnesota to coach the offense

#5 in defensive rating this year
#1 two years ago

Lost Franz Wagner in that series and that turned the tide...not shilling for the guy but context does matter

Honestly if Wagner doesn't get hurt we are having a very different conversation right now

The Magic have fallen apart in big moments before, but not like Game 6 vs. Pistons

But he has a great defense coaching?

hahaha this franchise is so fricking stupid. benson screwed every genuine fan of this team for life by letting gayle have the keys. joe dumars, jamahl mosely, and zion. what a fricking trio to root for and inspire confidence.


but dont worry we got chad504boy here to play contrarian and tell all of you why this is a good thing!!

Oh he routinely gets out coached in key moments. I'm not arguing that. I'm saying he's consistently had a good defense (stats back that up)...which tends to go to the Willie Green 2.0 conversation

And it's why all of us feel the hire is uninspired

Herb is here to stay

Hawk, Poole and others are done for

Still need shooting in the worst way

Need a good staff - that is key

Get ready to trade draft assets to dump and acquire players. I'm fully expecting it now.
