"Official" I hate Otis thread

[mhectorgato]

With the deadline about to come and go it looks like we're standing still.

I understand the desire that many have to disgorge a river of venous tirades toward GM Smith. Rather than it happening in virtually every thread, perhaps it can centralized in this thread.

Remember, misery loves company.

Nice Hector, I shall name you Rant-Traffic Officer

[mhectorgato]

For the record I'll be disappointed if we don't make any moves. I certainly had hoped that we'd use our expirings to improve the team.

One of the reasons why I wasn't as opposed to the Shard signing was because we still had assets to improve the team.

From reports it seemed it wasn't money issues, but that Smith didn't want to give up our 1st pick or JJ. To me that's absurd.

Oti$ is overpaid!!!!

[y 2 a B]

TRADE OTIS!!!

[j-ragg]

Just remember we're not the Knicks.


There's always something to be thankful about.

Who hates Otis Smith?

Kel hates Otis Smith!

Is it true?

It's true! I do I do I do-ooo

[zuppafly]

lol, good thread.

I don't hate him. I just happen to start thinking that I might have been too optimistic about him.

That's a nice way to put it, right? 13 millions (+/-) on expirings out of the window and a stubborn reluctance in letting some pieces that are not important on the roster go... nice, really nice!

The Fans (orlando, FL): Fire Otis Smith.

SportsNation Chad Ford: (2:47 PM ET ) Ouch ... touchy.

Yup. That about says it.

[vinageras]

I agree with Hec here, Otis is failing as a GM...

[magicman123]

bring back the hockey guy.....cmon its hard to trade $13-17mill in expirings

[AgEnT50]

Fire Otis!!!!

[B-Rich]

I don't hate him...but I'm really disappointed as a fan right now.

Don't tell me there wasn't anything out there. Teams are getting all stars for cap relief and picks.

[knappy]

if no trade goes down with all these expirings sign me up for the Fire Otis thread - getting SVG bought him some grace time, but he kind of fell into that

now there is no excuse to leave all those expiring contracts on the table and if he is playing cards with other teams - he'll be the loser - he is not a good card player and we have a lot to lose by not doing a deal not Seattle - they lose nothing keeping Wilcox - we lose a chance to really contend and we again waste assets - give them JJ - idiot

[UCFknight84]

cmon otis...i just want a PF!!

[magik9113]

I haven't hated on him before, but that's a lot of money wasted.

[MagicNolesFSU]

you people really are unbelievable.

[craig01]

I don't hate Otis.

Because the Magic are winning, he'll not go anywhere.

I am not unhappy that nothing was done by today.

I was more fearful of what "might" have been done, given Smith's and the Magic track record.

I have very little faith in Otis however.

[vinageras]

$13 million dollars in assets and yet he couldn't land a decent PF, while Mitch freaking Kupcake got Pau Gasol with just $10...
