That's true but, Dwight doesn't want to be there and he's leaving anyways. SVG is a goner, I'm just saying the Magic need to stop bending over for this guy.
Trade them both, thanks! No seriously, fire SVG and hire someone else. That team is destined to fail with all the internal conflict that's going on right now. I mean really? SVG openly admitted to a higher up relaying the message that Dwight wants you fired? When push comes to shove, its a players league. If you have a conflict between the coach and a franchise player.. (Cousins vs Sacramento King's old head coach), the player normally wins. Coaches aren't as easily replaceable but franchise centers are even harder to find.
I sympathize with SVG much more. But he's not worth as much to a basketball team as Dwight, so I think the Magic have little choice at this point but to bend over for Dwight if it means a 10% chance to keep him.
Dwight. As a free agent, he'll be able to choose his team on whatever criteria. If he was saying he didn't really want to play for Utah because he didn't get along with the coach, that'd be fine. If management wants to fire their coach to get a free agent, that's their call. I would recommend not going down that road, but it might be good business. But, Stan kinda made it all irrelavant anyway. By telling the world that top management told him that Howard asked he be fired, he signed his own death warrant. They need to fire him now, and the sooner the better. Get a new coach who won't be a distraction. Maybe you trade Dwight too, but Stan still has to go. I don't think there's any choosing left to do. He embarassed his franchise player and his own bosses. He's given the journalists a soap opera to write about throughout the playoffs and the offseason. And, if he's fired in the summer it's all about DeVos bending over for Dwight. And, if he's not fired it'll be another season of will-he-or-won't-he about Dwight leaving. I'm not very sympathetic to Dwight's prima donnism, but Stan hanged himself on this one.
