You have to give Billy Donovan credit for one thing: embracing the flop that is beginning to define the NBA.
Despite some reports late last night that the Magic were close to granting Donovan a release right away, Orlando is not going to let their new prize go easily.
"While Central Florida, the Orlando Magic and Billy were energized with the announcement of his contract signing on Friday, we know there was a different feeling in Gainesville and people have been tugging at home since that time,'' Glass wrote in a release.Billy seems to have everyone in his ear around Gainesville. Both sides should take a few deep breaths and continue discussions. No need to make a decision today.
"Billy is conflicted with those emotions and the opportunity he has ahead in Orlando and in the NBA. We've had numerous conversations and a personal visit in Gainesville with Billy over the last 48 hours and we have a commitment from him that the dialogue between us will continue.''
Since the chances are he'll be released immediately following this post are high, Stan Van Gundy is in line when that happens. He's apparently spent enough time with his "family" now.
