Hell no to Big Baby and Turk is also too expensive, didn't see his contract numbers. J-Rich is a SG and can still score so wouldn't mind him. Duhon is just something we have to deal with.

They have no idea.

Here is a link to there forum. You can see what they think about a potential Dwight trade from their POV.

From that same forum

So let me get this straight.... Dumb A$$ Morey is going take on Richardson, Hedo and we are stuck with them and their crappy A$$ contracts after SUPERBABY aka Howard leaves us next year????

Oh yeah and we lose Parsons and Lamb and whatever else????/

This is stupid and complete BS and I can't Freaking believe that anyone would want this to happen...

Magic must be loving that they are screwing the Rox just like they got screwed by us for Tmac...

I hope so. :pray:

Anyway I'm going to bed. I hope I wake up to a Dwight trade.

Even though I hope Dwight stays, I'm just tired of all these rumors.

Can you show me the tweets please mate, nothing on my twitter feed. Much appreciated.

It's not from any professional writers with sources or anything. Just from some guys I talk to on Twitter.

I honestly can't say anything else. Just wanted you guys to be aware. It's probably nothing.

All good.

Well, it's 5:07pm in wet and cold Melbourne, got home from work and will spend yet another night refreshing pages in the hope of something going down. Thank God the Mrs has gone interstate on business hey!

I am hoping for the Rockets deal, but as I have repeatedly said I trust Rob 100% and look forward to this club going forward with him in charge.

The deals were getting offered are crap so let's roll the dice offer him the 5yr max let him walk away from that he won't have no where to go besides dallas an atl

Same **** different day. When the yesterday started it was the same: "something big is going down today". My prediction is D-12 caves in and signs an extension after he gets to know Henny enough to trust him. Wanna bet?

he will walk so why roll the dice? of course i don't know for sure but he's burned bridges....ship has sailed.....i guess a show of good faith from Dwight would be to fire his agent but i don't see that happening any time soon......but it's clear he wants out....he told Rob he wants out so lets let him out on our terms......

O wonder what would happened to the NBA if we rip Houston in a trade now and sigh Dwight back next summer because he missed us...that would be epic

Would love a coach hire tomorrow.....yesterday really for me lol, today for you guys!

Not fussed who, as I really don't know the specifics of what they can do for us or what it is we actually want from the coach, again to sound like a broken record, Henny knows what he wants and I am encouraged by his continual talk about process and research and not being rushed. I also like the candidates and the fact there is a wide net been cast.

Whoever he gets I will support as he said in his interview it will be someone thats about changing the culture of the organisation. I just can't help but look at San Antonio and Oklahoma City and envy (particularly SA) their culture and humble superstars, whilst playing for each other every game. I am sure that is what Henny wants to bring here.

Hence why I do not think Dwight has a hope in hell of being back. He is for himself, he has proved that. This organisation needs to move on. I think Rob knows this and is wanting the best deal possible in order to rebuild this team. If he can do to us what he witnessed in SA and OKC, then I will be forever greatful.

Two top 10 picks, some young talent room for Free Agency next year with our own Nicholson showing talent to be a borderline future very good player, JJ and Nelson's positivity in the lockeroom and we won't be too far away. Last season's mess should not happen ever again. We became the biggest laughing stock in the NBA. Let's move on and rebuild the organisation.

The irony - the Magic may have just landed the kind of compliment Dwight has always wanted to play with.

More ironic - TMac was traded in part because he didn't want to wait for Howard to develop (if he did) - instead TMac was reportedly lobbying for the Magic to trade the Dwight pick for a veteran big man. Same situation in essence - current star wants out just when we pick the guy that they should be playing with.

Guys relax...drew was the 19th pick for a reason...ok, he is not a borderline all-star, ok....this is summer league...a guy can avg 30 in summer league and suck when it counts...so just chill out on thinking drew is some superstar

Guys are there any radio stations that talk about the Magic more than most? I can get it on my Tuned In app. Thanks for your help.
