Comments on: Michael Curry, Lindsey Hunter are among three finalists for Orlando Magic head coaching job http://www.pistonpowered.com/2012/07/michael-curry-lindsey-hunter-are-among-three-finalists-for-orlando-magic-head-coaching-job/ Your Go-To Source For Pistons Coverage Mon, 20 May 2013 11:28:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Todd http://www.pistonpowered.com/2012/07/michael-curry-lindsey-hunter-are-among-three-finalists-for-orlando-magic-head-coaching-job/comment-page-1/#comment-78729 Todd Tue, 17 Jul 2012 17:06:04 +0000 http://www.pistonpowered.com/?p=10626#comment-78729 This seems to be a sign of smart and proven coaches staying away from a ship that is sinking. I like the idea of young, up and comers like Vaughn and Hunter going after the job, but didn't we think a great deal of Curry before he fell on his face with the Pistons? Young coaches need something to work with otherwise all of their inexperience will show, whereas on a better team, with mature players these can often be covered up. Seems like a tough choice for the Magic, a team that I had a lot of respect for until recently! This seems to be a sign of smart and proven coaches staying away from a ship that is sinking.

In retrospect he was better than Kuester so there's that. He did what he was supposed to do. He got a decent assistant job with a well-connected and successful head coach and made the most of it. I wouldn't be surprised he gets the job (where he will be in a no win situation but oh well). Curry was thrown in over his head in a no win situation.

I kind of hope they keep him and make an example of him this year - do what the Knicks did with Mabury a few years back and make Howard ride the pine until the trade deadline. Then I start making him pay fines for every game he doesn't show up because you know he is going to get pissed and just stay home. The guy has made it pretty clear that he doesn't want to be in Orlando and if nothing gets done before the start of the season, he isn't going to even half ass it - it will be a quarter assed attempt. As far as Macklin goes, he will land another opportunity out there. In his limited minutes here he didn't play all that horrible. He didn't shine, but a team with a lack of bigs may come calling to see what he has. Agree with practically all of this.

I hope they keep him and I hope the team is terrible for the duration. Their management has been terrible for a long time now but I can’t stand Dwight Howard’s whining and vacillating.
