Official Speculation Thread (Pt XIV, Mods Close))

I'm at peace with losing Dwight for nothing TBH.

What needs to happen is for the NBA to change up how the draft lottery works. There should not be scenarios where losing is the desirable outcome for a competitive game. Yet if Dwight walks, losing is exactly the return I want from that exchange under the current and former CBA.

As the trade deadline approaches, the Orlando Magic are trying to make a splashy move to appease Dwight Howard: tinyurl.com/73tn2mc

splashy move huh? ... we're signing Allen Iverson

[Nemesis21]

I think Otis will go high risk high reward and bring back Larry Hughes for another go around

I always think about the great appreciation thread DJ created when Larry Hughes is mentioned.

I hate this guy but this is positive spin from an otherwise negative person.

Brian Schmitz ‏ @MagicInsider

A person close to Dwight Howard tells me, "We want to work it out (in Orlando)." Take it for what it's worth.

I don't believe anything Schmitz says.

He was a king of kings.....Oh Larry where art thou?!?!

You know its a slow news day when 15 people are reporting about Kobe switching to a black mask.......but still having the ability to go back to the clear one. WTF!

Wouldn't melo and chandler be the best assets we could get if we NEED to trade howard?

Granted, I am going to switch over to the game to see the mask. No doubt about that. But I just find it upsetting how many "journalists" are talking/tweeting about it. When it comes down to reporting something like that, I'd rather them just shut up and wait for something a bit more significant to report.

In these situations I wish they would ask themselves WWBWD?!?!?!

ps. that stands for What Would Barbra Walters Do?

I think he should just go with a Batman mask. Cowl, ears, everything. Hell, it's Kobe, they would probably let him wear the cape and body armor.

He is staying put on his trade request.

What a cynic!

My guess right now is he doesn't opt out, we try to improve over the summer, and may wimd up having a similar conversation next year.

We'd be in a great position though, we'd have a whole lot of capspace, and Smoove and Ellis are free agents then too... so is Chris Paul, but, he seems happy to be a Clipper.
