The same people saying "no good coach will ever come here" are mad we hired the best possible coach

knowing that we "cant hire a good coach"

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) .

I'll let you decide which of these soldiers the pelicans are.

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

They are very similar but Mosley is better

Good defense?

#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.
