Fixed. Of course, the Magic would have to add Hedo to sweeten the pot on a few of these.

If we have to trade Dwight, I really don't see Lopez as being a bad START to the trade. He is a great scoring center. He isn't the dominating presence that Dwight is, but he is still very good. Not all teams base their game around a center like Dwight, in fact most don't. If we could get some picks and young players with him, we could have a nice fresh start. Lopez had a bad rebounding year last year, but he averaged over 8 a game the previous 2, which isn't bad.

I was just thinking of something from my experiences visiting other states sporting events even as depressing as it is. I have been to stadiums and arenas across the country both college and pro. The one thing I notice at Magic games is how lame the fans cheering is. The Arena has to pump the sound of fans cheering into the sound system to generate any sort of excitement. Some sports teams have fans where the whole 4th quarter every last person in the arena is standing and yelling. It is insane and gets the blood pumping.

Maybe Dwight sees that in NY or LA and feels the extra push the opponents get from that. I just don't see the same intense rabid fans out there at Magic games like there is in some other arenas. I just don't get the rush from a thunderous roar like I have at some events.

I remember Shaq's rookie season as soon as the ball was passed to him in the Post, half the arena would jump up and start yelling Shaaaaquiiillle Oooh'Nnneeeeeaall. Because, you just knew he was gonna attack the rim.

If he says "Right now I'm in Orlando so..." I'd be pissed. Worst line he continues to use over and over.

Stream music is terrible. Looks like a lot of Dwight supporters in the building.
