Why this petition matters

Started by Litterial Green

On May 22, 2017, the Orlando Magic hired Jeff Weltman as President of Basketball Operations and subsequently, John Hammond as General Manager.

In the 3 years since, the Magic front office led by Weltman and Hammond have failed to properly build a competitive team, as evident by the fact the core of the team is still Rob Hennigan's (previous general manager).  

Weltman and Hammond have failed to create salary cap space, failed to sign top tier free agents and have zero draft capital for the future.  They have constantly sold off second round picks, signed free agents that have not panned out and had the most unimaginative and laziest approach amongst North American professional sports.

While we support the players and coaches, it is up to the front office to put together the players and pieces to contend for a championship.  The goal is not to sneak into the playoffs year in, year out but to win a championship.  We are not content being a 7-10th seed every year:  good enough not to get a high lottery pick but not enough talent to get past the first round.

It is time for the Devos family to fire Jeff Weltman and John Hammond and replace them with a proactive, competent and aggressive front office that cares about winning.
