Mosley is probably gone unless they pull an upset in the playoffs. Something is amiss with them, inspite of the injuries they've had. One thing I've found out, Joe Mazzula is a hell of a coach.
What a strange year by Orlando. You got to wonder how they fix it. I wasn't impressed with that team at all when they played the Mavs. Franz was out, but he has played 34 and 60 games the last few years so injuries to him and others are definitely a thing. They even got a breakout year by Black this year and traded for Bane and look worse this year.
I think counting on a guy to be a top 10 player in the league and him not being one is the biggest issue. Not saying he can't be that, but he wasn't this year. Is it too soon to write off Paolo and Franz playing with each other or do you want to give it another year and hope for health? I think center and shooting needs to be the big needs. Especially shooting. With Paolo, Franz, Suggs and Black on the floor, you really lack shooting. Maybe a true connector too.
They should be a better team. Firing the coach will come soon, but they need to figure things out fast.
