Billy is backing out, what should the Tragic do?
Sell the team away from the Amway Zelot Moonie freaks that own it.
Be gracious and show good will, let Billy walk. Florida is just up the road and it looks bad.
Let him walk, but he can't coach in the NBA for 5 years (the term of deal) and stop the charade that you'll take him still
Punish him and teach him a lesson that you don't mess with the NBA!
Make him pay $1,000,000 to get out of contract even if it looks nonsensical.
WWDD (what would Dolan Do)
Make him dress up as Eddie Munster on Halloween and parade him down main street in Disney world
See if he can recruit Fran Vasquez to play for Florida and blame your idiot GM's once again!

I might not ask him to sit out from the NBA for five years- I'd compromise and have it be 3 years- I mean if you're orlando and your second choice is Stan Van Gundy, you know your team is going to start to tune out Van Gundy in about 3 years- don't burn bridges.

Why would you even consider him again? So that he can change his mind again at that time? No. He lost his chance and I hope no NBA team ever considers him again.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Magic say they will welcome him back. Sounds silly to be doing that and holding him to his contract. Why even want a guy that does not want to be there. Makes them look bad.

The Orlando Magic should put in the contract that will be broken, that not only can he not coach in the NBA for 5 years but he can't coach college for 3.
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

Billy Donovan is an *******, the Magic should find every way they can to not allow him to coach ANYWHERE.

It looks like David Stern wants him banned for the term of the contract. Makes sense to me. He signed a legal binding agreement to only change his mind less than 3 days later. The NBA is still a business. Players aren't allow to do that so why should any coach be allowed. College coaches are so full of themselves, they think they can get away with this crap and go on about business as usual.
