Didnt someone say that he wont sign an extension because he believes if he does management will stop trying to make the team better or something?

he did give credit to Rudolph.

Probably was a dig. But you can't really discount emotion from this sort of decision. There's obviously always going to be the practical side of things, but the relationships he's built in Orlando, the connections with the city, the ownership, his team-mates and the fans, were always going to play a part. And let's face it, it's not like he's committing to stay for five more years on a losing team - right now, it's one more year on a team that's won 50+ games for four straight years.

So is he saying he will only let $$$ affect him and not emotions? I don't get how that's a dig at him. If anything that's a compliment to Dwight's character imo. Not to mention, DWill has NO, LITERALLY NO emotional connection whatsoever with that franchise/city. Give me a break. He didn't want to get traded there, he was very vocal about that.

Also, does anyone else notice this symbiotic relationship between ESPN and the agents? Control the narrative, control the market. I think that is another big story to come out of Dwight's reversal, he is not only making a huge professional decision but he is bucking the system. I almost want to say he is showing a level of bravery and loyalty that we don't see very often.

I hope you're right. If this is just another maniacal scheme, I quit.

If you want to improve the team, probably to slip Otis a sedative, make sure he stays asleep, and let Alex Martins handle stuff.

We could bring in a 31 year old Arenas and a 30 year old Fran Vasquez and have the makings of a very good, veteran bench right there.

I really, really want Gil as our backup PG next year. I still think he has something left (a lot more than Duhon imo), and he is one of Dwight's BFFs, and I am sure he would play for the absolute minimum. Fran would be a fantastic backup C too. Could really flesh out our bench quickly.

I think that Shaq will be the next Orlando Magic owner, but thats just my opinion.

@JoshuaBRobbins: Kevin Samples, D12's manager, says Dwight "is definitely not firing Dan Fegan."

I hope this isn't true!
Man, this **** needs to get done before someone changes his mind again!... I'm on the verge of a panic attack!
