Remember Dwight's inner circle also said a deal with the Nets was "imminent" then Rob came out and said the Net's have nothing and no deal would happen lmao.


So the trade that sucked now is going to be better in February???

I think this is how Dwight('s people) wants things to happen:

August:

February:

My prediction: We hold on to Dwight as long as we can to try and keep him. If he re-signs with us, we get him help. If we still wants to go, we trade him to the Lakers for Bynum. I don't see Rich Devos being happy with a rebuild. So we go all out with Howard or Bynum. Whichever we end up with.

Dwight is not going to Orlando.

Hennigan will deal him before the season but will wait for the best deal.

I do hope that is Houston.

Rich Devos may not be happy with a rebuild, but he's about to have one come the end of this season if anything in regards to Dwight desiring to explore free agency is true.

I think the board should automatically put green font to twitter rumors.

I'm praying that Dwight ends up in Houston, and the Orlando isn't asking so much that the Rockets back out of wanting Dwight.

I'm in love with the thought of having those (Lamb/Donatas) players potentially on the team (If available in that combination), and some good draft picks. We need to re-build, and we can make a turn around in the next 3 or so seasons. I'm patient, I can wait.

Not sure why people are all over Shaq about his Vaughn quote. This board reacted the same way when Vaughn was originally mentioned... It was "Shaw or Malone" all day every day until they were out of the running. The mention of Vaughn brought nothing but criticism except from maybe 1 or 2 posters. Then we started learning more about him outside of his weak career as a player (quotes from Pop) and he became an acceptable choice.

augustin signed with indiana for 1 year, 3 million

novak got 4 years, 16 million from NYK

i wouldn't mind T-Will, expecially if we are rebuilding. Id like to give oden a 2 year deal, with the second being a team option. howard is old and useless to us. gee is overrated A LOT, but he'd be a decent back up. barnes is meh, whatever, we have a ton of 4's so landry is redundant, przybilla would be nice if we kept dwight..so

N/A:
augustin, novak

HELL YEAH:
williams
oden

SURE, WHY NOT:
gee
przybilla
harris

MEH, NO THANKS:
barnes
howard
landry
west

Terrence Williams has been given his chances. The guy has NBA talent but he is a train wreck off the court. I don't want him anywhere near a young, rebuilding Orlando Magic roster.

Part of me would love to see T-Will here, but if the HOU trade goes through, I'm not sure he'd be a great fit. He put up some nice numbers for SAC toward the end of last season, but overall his hard-headedness outweighs the benefit he provides on the court. Some time away from the NBA might do him some good.
