It's pretty funny. Dwight insists he doesn't care what people think, so we're cool.

Yeah but do you really believe that? I think deep down he cares about what Orlando fans think about him. He's spent all of his career here, now there's a rough patch in the road and you guys are ready to can him. I'm not trying to tell you guys to lay off or anything, you can go about the situation any kind of way you want. But just know that you guys are forcing him out of town, something you guys said wouldn't happen. And Chicago fans sending him threads showing where you guys want him gone and are actually considering booing him and wanting him benched definitely say a lot.

Dwight hears it, whether it's coming from twitter or RGM or whatever. He hears it.

swap wallace with batum (wallace is a free agent next year and will demand a payday). if we can get lopez batum and brooks along with draft picks then we can rebuild quickly. must fire otis bc he can't draft for ****

I like Lopez...He isn't a franchise but he is a piece you would want especially since the Center position is weak in this era....Wouldn't be too bad next to Ryan but i would rather a Defensive PF since Lopez probably wouldn't command double teams....A defensive Wing wouldn't be bad either....Lopez had a legit post game with a nice little jumper...his 20 PPG is not a fluke on the other hand maybe his rebounding isn't either but with a change of system maybe he can get that up....In my head i see....

Get Dwight outa my face. 17 pts against Battie and Brand. The dude is Mutombo in his prime. Robinson at the very best. Not good enough to build a team around. And even Robinson needed the best PF in the history of basketball to win a championship.

He has no basketball ability. He's just a freak athlete and we keep waiting for him to learn how to play.

That means nothing.

Did he see all the threads that were supporting him when he first made the trade request? I'm sure he heard all the cheers, and the "Stay Dwight" chants and such. No one is mad at him for wanting out.

But to consistently throw your teammates under the bus, and to talk about playing for other teams while you're still one of us is a slap in the face. Did you see that interview he gave with the Boston Herald?

Dwight already wants out. A couple pissed off posts won't change anything. And f*ck those Bulls fans, just because that's dirty.

I had to use Boozer instead of Noah since it wouldn't let me....but replace Boozer with Noah in this scenario:

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachi ... Id=6mjxwbz

Also, Pau/Noah could be swapped....not sure which I prefer to be honest, or which Golden State would prefer. Either I think would be decent. I know a lot of people think LA wouldn't do this trade, but I think they would be kind of crazy not to. They need some more scoring at the SF spot, and this helps them matchup with the elite teams like OKC (Durant) and Miami (Lebron) defensively.

I've liked Brooks game ever since the trade rumors came up. It would be a completely different look from that position that we as Magic fans have never seen on our team. (Maybe Rony Seikaly) I think he gives us the the versatility we wish Dwight had, nice touch from 15-20 out but not reliant on that, he can take some guys off the dribble as well as post up. He doesnt demand alot of doubles, but he I think his game does enough to get Anderson open. Needs some good defense on the wings though.

We do this for obvious reasons

Suns do this to tank however get there PG of the future

GS does this to get rid of bad contracts, they get Bigs for smalls, solid players and they get rid of there fragile player for solid players. Monta would be there starting PG, JJ Starting SG

I doubt he actually believes Magic fans want him gone based on a minority of online detractors. He's not as dumb as you think.

what about a jrich & rights to fran to minny for beasley?? do you think there would be interest?

would shed richardson's contract and give the magic some much needed scoring playing the three or four off the bench. minny might get desperate for a sg that can spread the floor and who has played well with a passing pg, especially if they are making a playoff push. Plus Fran has the spanish connection with rubio.... don't know if it really changes much, but at least beasley is expiring and can put the ball in the hoop for the short term...

LOLOL, Did you guys see the Twitter feed of the guy bombing Dwight with our topics?

https://twitter.com/#!/23Bullsaj

His whole timeline is filled with messages to Dwight.

It would be funny if he was a kid (as I presumed), but according to him, he has been a Bulls fan since the early 80's. Which puts him at at least in his late20's-30's.

Kinda creepy, actually.

No I didn't see the Boston Herald interview. And I'm not suggesting that he'll make a decision based on a couple posts on a message board, but the point is you all are Magic fans. If you all think it, then certainly there are other Magic fans outside of RGM that think it as well.

I just think you guys are going to wake up to Dwight being traded one day and feel pretty bad about all the threads, bashing, etc. that has taken place. This is Shaq 2.0.

And? You think you guys are innovative or some ****? This is an open board. He's the one that requested a trade so. later.

Like another poster said, worry about Lebron shutting your boy down. You keep barely making it you'll be in the same situation we're in, worry about yours bruh..Oh and keep showing Dwight what we think. Nobody here cares. He's quit. Thanks for doing our work for us.

There are a LOT of Magic fans that want him gone....I mean a LOT. I have spoken to many people around Orlando who want him out, myself included. The boos will start to come. They began last game at home. They will increase. You can see the sentiment already gaining steam on these boards, in comments on news articles, etc. Back to the whole girlfriend scenario. Maybe she's the hottest girl you can get, but if she cheats on you, uses you, treats you like shiza....it's prob time to move on and make the best of another situation.

now that some of you guys saw the youtube clips, you must have formed a strong opinion about a guy, whcih you can defend in long wall of texts of demogogic bull. the next step is to go ahead and spread the wisdom all over the internet.
