Stan Van Gundy has always been in the Magic's head coaching plans. The Billy Donovan deal basically made him the #2 choice. Now that Donovan wants to return to Florida and get out of this Orlando contract - look for the Magic to scramble to sign Van Gundy the end of the day. **Update, reports are cycling through the net now that the Van Gundy deal is done. Still though, don't look for some big press conference to announce his hiring. **2nd update, press conference was originally set for Tuesday am - but the Magic are looking to cover this mess up quick. Expect something done by late afternoon.
Donovan gone, if Stan Van Gundy accepts

Just one last thing - the reason the Magic will need to move quick is due to the Kings' interest in Van Gundy. The Magic cannot afford to wait for the Spurs assistant coach. Though, I would much prefer they wait and look at Carlesimo and Carlisle as possible candidates before sinking money into Van Gundy.
You didn't hear this here, but Magic are likely encountering problems with bringing Van Gundy on board while Donovan is still technically the head coach. They are hestitant to release Donovan without some sort of penatly - thus tying up the Van Gundy announcement.
let billy boy go but make him buy out his contract at 5 mil he stung the magic so sting him if the gators want him they will pay
