I liked Stans interview today. I really hope none of this affects his job

LOL, so now I'm a male groupie. I've been called worst by better. Dudes crying b/c 12 asks out, but I'm the groupie. Okay then.

Why did Rudolph say this? What does it mean?

Because of this tweet to him.

Jareth Cutestory @JarethOMMB

Anybody still following @MisterRudolph needs to stop. Dude is just a glorified groupie for Dwight.

it's in response to a tweet from some dude calling him a groupie.. the guy said that because he saw D12 come up to Jarrod all buddy-buddy like at the end of the Q&A on David B's ustream... so people were just clowning (or hating...whichever perception you take) on him about it... idk why

Otis Smith (cont'd): "... I think that there was a list. Some of them are duplicate talent, which is something you can’t do all the time."

what does he mean "think that there was a list"?

Stan saying that Hedo's practices in the past three days have been better than ever for as long as he has coached him. Said he's creating good practice habits and he's very very happy with him.

This whole idea that Otis has to cow-tow to every wish Dwight demands is rediculous. If Dwight wants to be GM then she should apply for the position if and when Otis is fired.

I'm not saying Otis is a good GM, we all know he isn't, but it's not Otis' job to find out who Dwight wants and go bring him in.

If they are really trying to sell teams on taking Hedo's contract, Stan has to say this even if it may be an exaggeration.

He probably doesn't want to be traded with Dwight... hedo loves Orlando. Thus, he's putting in extra effort than usual.

lol sorry Otis... nothing on our team is duplicated or similar to what Dwight wants

like Von Wafer.. the "prolific scorer that he is"... isn't exactly Monta Ellis or Iggy

problem resides in your post... Otis is just not a good GM... can't fault Dwight for trying to be more a control freak and do more to get this team improved... I'd be frustrated too if I was a star player and the GM is making dud moves... not saying Dwight is trying exact his total influence and opinion on the front office (and I'm not saying it's okay for any superstar to do that if that were the case)... but i think Dwight is at a point of frustration where Otis' shortcomings are starting to draw ire of Dwight

OrlandO · Post #1099 » by **OrlandO** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 1:47 am

Well it's not looking good with comments Dwight continues to make about management, specifically about his relationship with Otis. However, I think he left the door open on the possiblity of staying if the right moves are made and/or they commit to listening to him more.

When asked how he'll handle it if he has to play here for the rest of the year he said:

If I'm here witht he magic for the whole year... for the next five years... i'm going to continue to give everything I got every night.

Why throw that in if he's already made up his mind on leaving?

thelead · Post #1100 » by **thelead** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 1:47 am

this is getting ugly. Otis will get himself fired if this continues to go back and forth.
