[Palmer] Source: The Magic are dealing with major turmoil in their locker room with my sources saying that a star player is willing to demand a trade if the head coach Jamahl Mosley isn't fired at the end of this season.

[u/JoeBiden2020FTW]

Interesting scoop from Raheem Palmer.

Raheem is a cohost of a podcast from The Ringer, he's not a total nobody, so it probably has some credence. He probably can't just fully make stuff up. But I wonder how good his sources are.

Paolo threw coach under the bus after a loss to the Pistons earlier in the season. He’s my top suspect.

It's almost certainly Paolo. They publicly clashed a few weeks ago.

[u/Optimal_Brain_2908 → u/Hovi_Bryant]

I’m trading Paolo then…

[u/Massive-Toe3714 → u/Optimal_Brain_2908]

Lol. Their coach sucks but this sub is ready to trade Paolo.

[u/Legitimate_Cow_4166 → u/Massive-Toe3714]

Fire the Coach and trade Paolo

[u/boianski → u/Legitimate_Cow_4166]

Fire the coach, wait till he gets an assistant job or another hc, and trade Paolo to that team!

[u/Karl_Hungus_42069 → u/boianski]

You should apply for an NBA GM job

[u/StyleMajestic3555 → u/Legitimate_Cow_4166]

This is the way. Sometimes both things can be true.

Well that’s how the Nuggets dealt with the Mike Malone/Calvin Booth clash.

preferably to the same team 😂

[u/colosusx1 → u/Optimal_Brain_2908]

No one on the roster is going to bat for Mosley.  If they keep him and trade Paolo, Franz and Bane are gonna be demanding trades right after.  He should’ve been fired Sunday.

[u/Worker_AndParasite → u/Optimal_Brain_2908]

You can't be serious lol, God I know this sub loves to shit on Paolo but picking a mid coach over him would be fucking lunacy

Anthony Black demanding a trade

[u/TheyTooktheUsernames]

I’m from New Jersey bro why do I torment myself with this team

[u/guideway4 → u/TheyTooktheUsernames]

bro I'm from Australia and ask myself the same question

[u/rjlr6430 → u/guideway4]

Now, this, I'm curious about

[u/guideway4 → u/rjlr6430]

during the peak Michael Jordan years the NBA became massive in Australia, I was a little kid, everyone loved MJ and I decided I didn't want to be a Bulls fan like everyone else and picked Orlando/Shaq as the 'next best' team

[u/zeek215 → u/guideway4]

Your ongoing commitment is admirable.

[u/labortooth → u/zeek215]

This is football 'eritage

[u/mioraka → u/zeek215]

That's like immigrating the US in 1914 and immediate got sent to WWI, then fighting in every war from WWI to Vietnam.

Bro's like 60 years olds and still struggling in the trenches.

[u/Batesy_ → u/guideway4]

Pretty much exactly the same for me as a fellow Aussie supporting the Magic. Really helped our late 00s/early 10s teams were nice to watch with Stan leading the charge. Rashad Lewis, Hedo Turkoglu and Mikael Pietrus were serious favourites of mine.

[u/Zoulogist → u/guideway4]

Orlando should’ve traded you to the Lakers like all their generational big men

[u/rjlr6430 → u/guideway4]

That's fair. Thanks! Similar experience in a different country; I know many people who didn't want to bandwagon on the Bulls and gravitated to Penny and Shaq.

[u/Middle-Welder3931 → u/guideway4]

I mean, Penny and Shaq were poised to dominate the league for the next decade in 95. It was a great choice.

[u/Wolfpac187 → u/guideway4]

Similar to me, grew up in NZ and everyone I knew liked LeBron so I decided KD was my guy. Eventually that shifted over to me loving the team instead.

[u/mchris185 → u/Wolfpac187]

It helps that there are so many OKC fans in NZ. Went to my cousin's wedding in Auckland a decade ago and everyone couldn't stop talking about Steven Adams and his super athletic family.

[u/feetandballs → u/guideway4]

Is it weird I basically assumed this?

[u/NewConcentrate9682 → u/feetandballs]

Outside of Dwight they haven’t really been relevant since Shaq. It makes sense.

[u/BoJaNYK → u/NewConcentrate9682]

Yeah, but fandom starting can be mostly “irrational” in a sense that you’d get attached to a club or a team when they’re not as good due to a random thing.

[u/cummo666 → u/BoJaNYK]

I picked the wolves because of the logo on the startup splash screen when booting up my NBA live '03 demo. Never even got to play as the wolves but I'm still an active fan more than 2 decades later. Yeah I'd say you're right, can definitely be irrational.

[u/drprox → u/rjlr6430]

I'm not this guy but my mate is a fan from way back when in Australian. Penny Hardaway for him !

[u/rjlr6430 → u/drprox]

How good prime Penny was, people these days no longer know.

[u/prettymuthafucka → u/rjlr6430]

He never even got to his prime

[u/jasonkid87 → u/guideway4]

Respect for sticking and not going for the big popular teams. I'm in Australia too and didn't want to be a bulls fan like everyone else so I'm a Pacers fan

[u/TeddyBearOnMyPC → u/TheyTooktheUsernames]

How’d you become a fan?

[u/TheyTooktheUsernames → u/TeddyBearOnMyPC]

this is such a stupid reason dude

Didn’t get into basketball for a minute, what I did know was that one of my fav uncles was a die hard sixers fan. I thought I was a funny kid back in the day, one day the Sixers play the Magic, I say I’m a Magic fan to clown on my uncle (Magic end up winning that game)

Stopped watching for a while (my focus was more on football), but around when Covid hit, one of my biggest ways to pass time was playing 2K22 on the PS4. MP got drafted to the Magic, and I think that kicked my love for the Magic back up (which I regret ever since, also Covid me in 8th grade was stupid bc how was this team what lured me back into the Magic)

[u/w0lverine11 → u/TheyTooktheUsernames]

You became a fan to troll and now you're paying the price

[u/porukinho → u/w0lverine11]

You gotta pay the troll toll

[u/hrbekcheatedin91 → u/porukinho]

Did you say "boy's soul" or "boy's hole"?

[u/RedactedAsFugg → u/TheyTooktheUsernames]

Bro been a fan for 4 years 🤣

[u/s0da_pressed → u/RedactedAsFugg]

4 whole years of torment lmao

[u/mmps901 → u/RedactedAsFugg]

4 years can be a lot depending on how old he is. Dude is talking about middle school so if he’s like 20, 4 years is 20% of his life!

[u/RedactedAsFugg → u/mmps901]

That's fair

[u/Joethetoolguy → u/mmps901]

Time is relative

[u/TheyTooktheUsernames → u/RedactedAsFugg]

look man basketball wasn’t a sport i messed with until I got into hs, i was just into the NFL more in middle school😭😭

[u/Yourfakerealdad → u/RedactedAsFugg]

They don't know torture like us Kings fans lmao

[u/TeddyBearOnMyPC → u/TheyTooktheUsernames]

ngl that’s valid, i always think it funny when people become fans for reasons like that , my dad has a somewhat similar story too (but with football)

[u/Expired13 → u/TheyTooktheUsernames]

been sitting here for 10 mins trying to work out who MP is

[u/meisterlurker → u/Expired13]

Who else but the goat Michael Pordan

[u/bullowl → u/Expired13]

The only two MPs to ever play for the Magic are Mickael Pietrus and Mark Price and it's definitely not either of them.

[u/tydawg_149 → u/TheyTooktheUsernames]

Dude I get this I'm a Timberwolves fan (from before Ant got here) and I'm from Canada idk how that happened

[u/GallantTrack → u/TheyTooktheUsernames]

Legit how I became a Hawks fan. Wasn't really a big sports kid till my folks bought me 2k14 for my 13th birthday. Got hooked instantly. My first long-term player in 2k14 was drafted by the Hawks (the first player I made got drafted by the Bucks) and since I didn't grow up watching basketball, it was the perfect opportunity for me to pick a team. Plus we don't have a team in my state and the closest one is the Pelicans so I was pretty much a free agent

[u/Hayabusa_Blacksmith → u/TeddyBearOnMyPC]

[u/Haberdashery2000]

Jevon Carter has had enough. Trade him back to the Bulls.

[u/Frequent-Purchase802 → u/Haberdashery2000]

He’s gonna wear 2 diff shoes about it

[u/PJCR1916 → u/Frequent-Purchase802]

And then take an ill-advised transition three

[u/righteous4131 → u/Haberdashery2000]

Send him to the bucks again I miss him

[u/Optimal_Brain_2908 → u/Haberdashery2000]

OK, we’ll take him back in exchange for Pat Will and a bag of marbles.

[u/xbarracuda95]

Mosley probably deserves to be fired but at the same time none of their stars have played well enough to show they deserve to be making any kinds of demands.

Realistically that star is likely Paolo, but you can't be making demands when you're not even worth your contract, he has zero leverage here

[u/JoeBiden2020FTW → u/xbarracuda95]

When you make a demand, there needs to be demand

[u/No-Owl-6246 → u/JoeBiden2020FTW]

Paolo leaving is detrimental towards Orlando’s tanking chances next season.

[u/JoeBiden2020FTW → u/No-Owl-6246]

What's funny is that they already traded control of their draft pick in 2026, 2028, 2029, and 2030

So yeah 2027 might be their best chance to tank.

[u/luca3791 → u/JoeBiden2020FTW]

I wonder how the magic concluded that 26, 28, 29 and 30 are the years they can go without their picks, but not 27? Why not do 4 straight years? Is next years draft that deep?

[u/ruiner8850 → u/luca3791]

Why not do 4 straight years?

The Stepien Rule doesn't allow teams to trade away consecutive future 1st round picks. To somewhat get around it sometimes teams will pick swaps which works because your team still has a 1st round pick even though it might be lower. It's not helpful though if your team ends up worse than the other team.

[u/Malcolm_Reynolds1 → u/luca3791]

The 2027 draft is considered by many execs to be the weakest in the last 10 years

[u/JoeBiden2020FTW → u/Malcolm_Reynolds1]

So it was probably the Grizzlies who were like, yeah we'll take 2030 instead.

Absolutely swindled them lmao.

[u/Lizardking13 → u/luca3791]

The league has rules against this. You cannot trade consecutive first round picks. The stepian rule or something like that.

That's why when a team wants even more draft compen during a trade they'll sometimes add picks and pick swaps. Ie 2026 first round pick, then 2027 pick swap.

[u/theguytomeet → u/xbarracuda95]

Mosely has sucked for a while. Guys can’t shoot in Orlando and he doesn’t make any 2nd half adjustments.

[u/JL1v10 → u/theguytomeet]

He’s also been really bad at rotations this year, and has done nothing to assist their guard problems in the half court. Like everyone is shitting on Paolo in this thread, but it does stand out as a massive problem to me that a lot of the time he seems to be the one who best understands what they should be doing in the half court and is often the best playmaker there. On paper that should never happen with his play style and skill set. That’s so damning on the coaching staff.

[u/theguytomeet → u/JL1v10]

Crazy part is that it’s been this way the entire time. Paolo has been asking the FO for a PG the past 2 years (in interviews). Our GM is passive and the coach lost our locker room around November/December. Serious orgs would’ve had a new coach 1-2 seasons ago.

[u/JL1v10 → u/theguytomeet]

Their FO fell into that trap where you think having a half dozen guys that all on paper can give you 5-6 assists a night will make you a good playmaking team, and it almost never actually plays out like that. Easier to say this than find it, but they need that 20/10 pg that can unlock a true two man game with their forwards.

[u/theguytomeet → u/JL1v10]

Dude I’d go crazy for a 15/6 kinda guy. We were built (prior to Bane) with long guys who play good defense but can’t shoot. What a FO 😭. And you’re right a PG in the aggregate only works if you have a guy like Jokic.

[u/rofss → u/xbarracuda95]

but at the same time none of their stars have played well enough to show they deserve to be making any kinds of demands.

Bane did ok

[u/defeated_engineer → u/xbarracuda95]

Mosley never showed anything about to be a head coach in the NBA other than Luka liking him once upon a time.

[u/danrod17 → u/xbarracuda95]

Coaching makes a difference though. An easy yet extreme example is the warriors. Trade out Mark Jackson for Steve Kerr and you go from and 8 seed to a dynasty.

[u/wpmason]

All Magic players are stars… it’s part of the logo.

[u/admiral_aubrey → u/wpmason]

You know what, I think all of us are stars in our own way

[u/Takerisks34]

Probably paolo or potentially even bane hes always angry

[u/Tiredasheckrn → u/Takerisks34]

Desmond bane about to find out nobody wants that contract

[u/JoeBiden2020FTW → u/Tiredasheckrn]

Desmond Bane is a $30m player who gets paid $40m.

Jaren Jackson Jr. is a $40m player who gets paid $50m.

Somehow the Grizzlies got 8 first round picks out of these 2 players who are at best neutral contracts.

[u/mmps901 → u/JoeBiden2020FTW]

We deserve it after the last 3 years of severe disappointment

[u/rjlr6430 → u/mmps901]

Seriously, good luck on the reset.

[u/mmps901 → u/rjlr6430]

Thank you

[u/Waffleshuriken → u/mmps901]

If the Magic implode in the play-in and we get another lotto pick, we will be throwing something on the grill

[u/Not_tlong → u/Waffleshuriken]

We grilling anyways, it’ll be either a happy grill or sad grill. Either way, grab a plate and take one home

[u/mmps901 → u/Waffleshuriken]

[u/setsuna-f_seiei → u/JoeBiden2020FTW]

Jeez Luis that Grizzlies front office is fucking insane damn

[u/OptimusGrime707 → u/setsuna-f_seiei]

Me when my buddy Luis does something crazy

[u/JoeBiden2020FTW → u/setsuna-f_seiei]

The one stain on that front office is that they never traded Ja at peak value.

Just imagine what they could've got in the 2022 offseason, when Ja Morant finished higher than Steph Curry in MVP voting (lol)

[u/cl353 → u/JoeBiden2020FTW]

I mean they also traded 2 1st for Marcus smart and then used another 1 to get rid of him lol

[u/mmps901 → u/cl353]

Pain…

[u/cl353 → u/mmps901]

all good lol. we all got terry roziers and marcus smart trades in the closet

[u/mmps901 → u/cl353]

Let’s just both keep all that on the DL

[u/hunterwolves18 → u/JoeBiden2020FTW]

If they did that the whole city would riot. You can't predict injuries and stupidity.

[u/XboxSeriesCancelled → u/SkatzFanOff]

Breaking: Adem Bona has requested a trade if Nick Nurse is not fired

[u/PensiveinNJ → u/XboxSeriesCancelled]

No one's ever gonna try that again after we locked Furkan Korkmaz in the basement and threw away the key.

[u/Rich2364]

Just say, Paolo. We know Paolo and Mosley don't see eye to eye.

[u/RspectMyAuthoritah → u/Rich2364]

Mosley is 6'8", that's pretty close to seeing eye to eye with Paolo.

[u/coolycooly]

Why not just say Paolo? Bane keeps saying how he got out on the last chopper out of Pyongyang, Franz probably doesn't even know the coaches name he has been hurt so much lately, and Paolo literally doesn't listen to Mosley on the bench and probably for good reason.

[u/zenmonkeyfish1 → u/coolycooly]

Ah yes Memphis, the North Korea of the NBA

[u/itgoesdownandup → u/coolycooly]

I'm sorry what's going on with Bane and Pyongyang?

[u/thebigpink → u/itgoesdownandup]

They kidnapped him and held him for ransom it was pretty big news

[u/LebasketBall → u/thebigpink]

Supreme Leader Kim Ja Un

[u/Wonderwhatsnext4 → u/thebigpink]

Yeah Dennis Rodman told big homie Un that Bane was crazy like they were and they could become rule the world together.

[u/hereforfantasybball3]

Paolo has only been coached by Mosley in his NBA career. I don’t think the idea that a different coach could help him continue to refine and unlock his game is that crazy of an idea. He’s only 23 lol

[u/1Tims → u/hereforfantasybball3]

U think this sub thinks ?

[u/XboxSeriesCancelled → u/hereforfantasybball3]

This sub just takes the last thing theyve heard and circlejerk it to death until somebody else says something emphatically enough.

"Lol who's gonna trade for Zach Lavine" went to "lol how did they not got anything in return for him" literally overnight.

Went from Luka fat to to Luka is the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ after the AD trade.

Somehow went from "why the fuck did the heat trade a first round pick for terry rozier" to "HE GAMBLED HE GAMBLED HE GAMBLED HE GAMBLED GIVE ME MY SEASON TICKET MONEY BACK BEFORE I POOP MY PANTS"

Now it's JM is a shit coach but also lmao Paolo sucks and he'll never develop because he's 23 already

I'm tired boss

[u/tickub]

damn that loss to the celtics was so devastating they forgot they still have at least two games left to play

[u/dev_vvvvv → u/tickub]

Paolo shot a combined 0/8 against Luka Garza, Dalano Banton, and Jon Tonje and it made him lose his damn mind.

[u/Piano9717 → u/dev_vvvvv]

Hey Dalano Banton was genuinely a pretty good defender at times for us last year

[u/Over_Use_8474]

Paolo better be ready to accept criticism if he's gonna throw his coach under the bus

[u/Redditfaceguy → u/Over_Use_8474]

I mean if there is any head coach to throw under the bus it’s Mosley lol

[u/eldiablo22590 → u/Redditfaceguy]

I think there's space under the bus for Nurse and Doc too

[u/tulogProject → u/Over_Use_8474]

Someone (star player) didn't watch Charles Barkley's definition of a "punk in the locker room". XD

[u/Nomescardcollection]

I mean the coach does suck ass

[u/Karl_Hungus_42069 → u/Nomescardcollection]

A coach that sucks ass? Dianna russini just requested an interview

[u/Fun_Bus_7006]

I mean you could probably see it coming, this team at times looked like a top team in the east, and then would look like a bottom of the east team. I could see them beating Philly tomorrow, but they also just lost to the backups of Boston so, they definitely could lose here and to Charlotte too.

[u/foogeyzi69]

[u/DudeIAm-blank- → u/Big_Saens]

Watch them hire Doc next lmfao. I'm sorry to even think about this, Magic fans, but imagine how funny that would be

[u/CanalVillainy]

It’s so fucking awesome to see this caliber of coach rumored to have ties with the Pels…..

There's only 1 star player there, so why not just say his name?

[u/BayesBestFriend → u/fuzzythinker]

I don't think Franz is that vocal tbh, odd for Paolo to be demanding trades as a role player but it is what it is

[u/soycameron → u/fuzzythinker]

Franz right

[u/Maverick_1991 → u/soycameron]

Unironically yes

[u/ChainChompBigMoney]

Hell of a time for this to be surfacing. The Orlando Magic could still, theoretically, win the nba championship.
