Anyway, The Magic do not need Dwightmare 2.0.

Wasn't Napier actually traded though? I thought I read that Brooks had a no-trade clause due to bird rights.

Apparently there were talks between the Bulls and Magic to trade Napier for Brooks. But Aaron Brooks has a no trade clause, which he refused to waive, so the trade didn't happen. BTW, some other league sources were also reporting the same talks as Evans on Twitter.

I'd rather SVG back than Dwight.

That is true on Brooks but he tweeted out Napier was traded as the deadine passed.

It was reported before then that Brooks blocked the deal.

Heck no. Ignoring his attitude and personality, he really isn't a very good basketball player.

That's just not true. He still is one of the top defensive centers in the league. He'd be an 18/12 guy on a different team.

I'd take him back, only because I believe he regrets leaving. Go after Conley and Dwight.

Better Jameer, worse Dwight. I just can't roll with that. I do agree with you on Howard's potential stats on another team though. Remember though, this guy wanted to be the number 1 option on offense.

Dwight can still come in during the playoffs and do some damage for some teams. He's gotta get over being the number 1 option though.

No thank you. Let him rot away on an average, non-contending team.

12 Rebs sure...his defense is off a cliff and watching him try to score is dreadful.
