Seriously you need to read. I didn't say it was OK for anyone to quit on their job. I said the two situations are different. One person is completely and entirely done with the organization the other pretends to be it's heart and soul.

No need for stupid sarcastic comments.

Nah. All three parties are IN. No one is done at this point. If SVG is "done" with the organization, why has he not resigned? MDA did it. SVG is not "done". He's just an emotionally scorned guy that ran to the press to spew his beef. He is still working for them. He he said (just last night) that his main concern is stopping Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks. If he is "done" as you say, then he is ALSO pretending. He is still working for them. All three parties are still under contract. SVG could have easily walked out. But he hasn't. So your statement is untrue. As a matter of fact he said "If they fire me......". This means he is STILL not prepared to resigned and be "done". They're ALL in. So his behavior is not excused. The "done" thing does not create a loophole for him to be unprofessional. I am not an MDA fan but at least he walked out in a way that kept his rep in tact (whether that's a positive rep or negative that's up for discussion).

if SVG quits, he forfeits any money owed to him under his contract. it was easy for MDA to quit because he was in his last year and wasn't forfeiting much.

So it's a money? He threw the team and organization into an awkward situation instead of resigning. In that case he's stealing money. Because in the end he doesn't like his star player (apparently his players don't care for him...at least a few) and he threw the organization under the bus.....and STILL taking his pay check smh. Classy guy.

My first post on thsi thread was SVG should walk immediately. I am not saying SVG is blameless here, in fact I agree with you that he didn't handle the situation very well. I just think what DH is doing deserves a lot more wrath than a coach who is clearly on his last days with the team.

Well, we agree on most points but disagree who is MORE at fault. To me, it's who cares? I'm just saying again "there is enough blame to go around". Seems like some people in this thread don't get where Stan is ALSO at fault. I don't like how ANYONE has handled it. Nobody!

i wouldn't be surprised if SVG never coaches in the NBA again.

Oh he won't be coaching, again. Very unlikely in my opinion.

And I hate it when I am around men and we're talking or discussing something and one of the men goes and runs his mouth like a gossiping woman. If I feel like I am in the presence of one of those I watch what I say. That guy may have his feelings hurt and then go telling everyone what was said behind closed doors. Can't stand that. If you took issue with what I've said or done, be a man and come talk to ME. Don't go on Facebook and just start publicly talking ABOUT me. Just like when Kobe was in hot water with the law and he went on record saying that Shaq pays women off even though he's married. In the hood these people are called snitches. If you have a problem with me, come and hash it out with ME. I'm right here! Everything else is sucker ****


When Stan was asked a question he answered it truthfully. When Howard was asked the same question he denied it. He also didn't try to resolve it with Stan, he went to management. There are obviously consequences for Stan based on what he said but I am sure he is aware that there are consequences and that he was probably gone anyway. Stan responded to someone going behind his back to get him fired. I don't know how you do that 'professionally or without breaking some code'. He was gone anyway.

Classy guy.

right, you rather he quit and forfeit money because his star player is clearly not playing for him. that's what you would do if one of your employees was trying to get you fired and you had a contract with the company that promised to pay you UNLESS you quit. you'd give up the money for the betterment of the organization that is favoring your subordinate instead of empowering you to lead. and also, mind you, the employee, that is trying to get you fired, is also holding the whole company hostage as the specter of his monetary demands loom over the entire organization. it's almost a foregone conclusion that he'll be working for a competitor shortly anyway. you'd take the bullet to make that guy happy you noble hero, you!!

nobody is one 100% right in this, but i like SVG over the rest of the cast of characters involved. if Dwight wants him fired, the Magic should just fire the guy already. i'm not mad at SVG for wanting to take the money. Dwight may have screwed him out of his job, but he damn ain't gonna screw SVG out of his money. see, Dwight can loaf around disinterested and still collect his full paycheck. guys like Eddy Curry can effectively quit and still make their dough. but SVG is supposed to quit and forego the money because some giant sized baby decided he wants the guy fired. when everyone knows that the giant size baby will be on another team in a year or less anyway.

i'm sorry. SVG has basically challenged the organization to fire him. i don't know why they haven't. i personally don't care because i'm not a magic fan or an SVG fan. i just think SVG is the most sympathetic character here. not without fault, but certainly not the villain.
