And here's Jeanie's mouth piece again preaching for the patience she never gave Jim nor Mitch during the first year after Kobe's retirement when a direction could actually be established.

Pass. Ding is essentially Jeanie's "Frank Isola" now.

So according to Ding, Jim is out because he was willing to part with young talent to bring in Cousins. According to a ton of other people in the media, Mitch is out because he was unwilling to part with young talent to bring in Cousins.

So why is there talk that they are trying to trade for Lopez or Butler? Surely Magic must be trolling if he thinks we can these guys without giving up most of our young pieces... I call shenanigans

Nets are shopping Lopez for a 1st and 2nd rounder.

Are they seeking just a random 1st round pick? They probably want lottery implications if they get the 1st round pick and we don't have that.. so trading some young players is a must.

Which credible source has linked us to either deal? Would that be the Chicago reporter with 19 tweets since 2013, or Legion Hoops who has never broken a story? Woj or nothing.

Legion Sports is the only twitter that feeds news from media people reporting trades.. they are credible and don't seek attention whatever we hear they hear it as well.

He may be Jeanie's mouthpiece, but I'm liking everything I've read so far. I'm cautiously optimistic with the Magic experiment.

No no no. Mitch and Jim do not get a reset just because Kobe is gone.

Personally I hate the way Mitch was dumped so unceremoniously. But Jim was just released from duties he never should have had in the first place. And I think Mitch is just being swept aside with the tide of change. But so be it.

Lol. So we have new management. And the changes are that the same people who were offered are still available and the same rookies we wouldn't trade are still untouchable.

I'm interested to know why. I can't think of what is really going to change in the next 3 years.

Jeanie reminds me a lot of the woman who owned the Indians in the movie Major League.

Now patience is a virtue? LOL! This regime is only 6 yrs separated from their last title. Jerry West had a 12 year drought. Honestly, I don't want to hear that. You fired Mitch and Jim because you had no patience, but now patience is a virtue??
