Vogel forgot to look at the Magic's front office situation, he was replacing the front office's desired coach in Scott Skiles while the front office viewed both Skiles and Vogel as essentially being the guy to come in and make all the pieces they had assembled work, thus why they went after vets like Ibaka and Jeff Green, defense guys like Biyombo, etc. which is the kind of guys a Skiles would want, and Vogel somewhat, for when he needed guys he could trust as the young guys finally started to put it together
only for that front office to be shitcanned because they were taking too long and rather than hire a clear authority, the team did the classic hire an old hand GM and a young up and comer as his boss, while still having a roster of misfit parts that the team didn't make better by flipping Ibaka for Ross and then loading up on more role players like Afflalo, Mack, Speights, etc. while the team was continuing to do a churn through of their younger pieces
aaron gordon still somehow has become a tweener in a league in which positions are even more hypothetical than ever before, they're paying $27 million a year to players who are seriously liabilities at too many things on the court (Ross and Biyombo) and sometimes don't even play in games where there's no matchups
and the capper was probably dealing a 23 year old point guard, who yes, has his problems, but was playing the best of his career, and they dumped him for a second round pick BEFORE seeing what his market value looked like, with their backup plan being $20+ million for point/combo guards all over the age of 28 who won't be around by the time Gordon and Hezonja finally, if ever, are as good as Fournier, let alone whatever Isaac may become
they have no plan, and the one player they might have been able to flip in a year or so to move one of the toxic assets they dumped for a second rounder because he hadn't yet wowed them at age 23
didn't help that the team was injured so much and it probably really killed their offense when they didn't have three or more creators or at least the twosome of Fournier/Vucevic
vogel might be better off getting one of those new associate head coach gigs on a good team or moving up team, like the pelicans and timberwolves who need some defensive fixing
