If Dwight opts in, does that make a S-Jax trade to Orlando in the next day or so likely?

Three Magic players tell Y! Sports (2 to @SpearsNBAYahoo) and one to me that Dwight Howard did not tell them he was opting in for next year.

Might have been just people assuming since he told them he was "all in" that he was opting in?

Knicks are done for the year. Ellis and the Bucks will grab their spot in the East now, unless Woodson can somehow make Amare and Melo play defense.

Who knew the playoffs were going to comedown to Monta or Lin?

D'Antoni-less Knicks destroying the Blazers 60-29 in the 3rd.

Meh Blazers were sucking way before it's hardly about the Knicks.

Lin 6 ast 6 TOs so far. lol. I remember how badly I got my ass carved out for suggesting his TO's were going to continue to be an issue.

Howard flip flops AGAIN. Now he says he won't use his opt out and commits to Orlando through 2012-13.

I'll laugh tremendously if the Magic trade him today.

Orlando needs to get Dwight to sign an extension in the offseason and if he doesn't, they need to trade his arse West, like to the Lakers or Mavs, his prefered teams. They get either Bynum and filler or Haywood, Marion, Terry and more

Its all about the shoes. He needed to make the playoff to the get his money. And NJN isn't going to pay him if traded. And then that $30mil missing on the next contract? If I am the Orlando, I play his bluff all the way. Good call standing pat. Now, everyone knows that DHoward is all about the MONEY.

Looks that way that Dwight is all about the money, but likely he really wanted to go to a contender, not that the Nets were looking anything like one. Maybe Magic should secretly look to trade him anyway and do it to a team he doesn't want to go to

Lakers dump Luke Walton....what's happening today?

BW32 · Post #815 » by **BW32** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 7:44 pm

Nene was available? That really surprised me.

Can we get McMillan? :lol:

Lol, I thought that as well.

Clippers stacked in the guards now with Young. Another dunker to join lob city.

I'm pretty glad we didn't sign Nene.

Everyone was so big on Nene but he is really not so different from Lee. Bogut is a much better fit here.
