BTW, I hate to reply twice to my own thread, but he's being replaced by Chris Jent. Isn't he a former Rocket?
Another winner from Weisbrod, who decided to extend Davis as head coach last summer. http://www.nba.com/magic/news/Magic_Dismiss_Davis_Name_Jent-135646-800.html
Yup, on the first championship. The drama continues season long. Weisbrod really has a knack with the entertainment industry.
But wait a minute, Rockets management were the ones at fault and McGrady isn't a superstar and Orlando made out the best in this deal! I know this because Weisbrod told me so!
Chris Jent emerges as interim head coach Chris Jent emerges as interim head coach Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. -- Johnny Davis was fired Thursday as coach of the Orlando Magic, who have lost six straight games and are on the verge of falling out of playoff contention. Assistant Chris Jent was named interim coach.
That franchise is in a complete tailspin. As long as Weisbrod is the GM, they will continue to struggle and won't get the new arena.
Too funny ... On many levels Chris Jent as coach Weisbrod trading Tmac then shipping Mobley for Christie It's all karma
Yao's first season with the Rockets? RudyT is out temperarily and Mr. Mean took over. No playoff for Francis again. Damn.
Rudy T anyone? If not, Mo Cheeks and the young assistant on the Grizzlies who used to coach the Warriors, he is a going to be a great coach. I still think the Mobley for Christie deal is what has done them in along with no consistent post presence.
Chris Jent gets the job. Thats awesome!! He can show that Rockets championship ring to Francis and Cato...
This quote after the Sacramento loss probably didn't help his cause: "We're sitting in a playoff position. What could be better than that?"
you know... you want to go pile on the Magic fans that jumped on the bandwagon and piled on againt the Rockets in Nov and Dec. but the tables have been turned so quicklly and so dramically, I am thinking ... why bother - its silly - they know they jumped the gun with the "magic won the trade" smack and Weis-a$$ hockey man - has displayed how over his head he really is Francis, Christie and Cato for Howard, Tmac, James and Barry I think ESPN had it right the first time when they said, this is the kind of deal in fantasy basketball that get protested by EVERY owner
For Weisbrod being a total ass, of course. I think most people in here wish failure upon the Magic because of Weisbrod, not Steve. I, for one, hope Steve gets traded to a team I can cheer for.
