I hope they do it. Awful trade for Chicago. Deng murders us.

Yeah but Gasol murders us too. Noah and Pau in the paint... :o

Wiretap says Dwight wants to sign with the Nets so that they don't lose their assets. F U Dwight, F U!

I have nothing against Rudolph. I just do not remember him writing a well-thought article ever. Twitting and typing 5 sentences each month that nameless interns do 20 times a day would not make someone a writer.

I normally do not care about this stuff, but I caught something he did that hurt the Magic and further unstabilized the already agitated fan base. he falsely reported about Stan questioning Dwight's leadership during the times the trade request was highly publicized. I felt the need to step up.

maybe he will be a writer in the future, who knows. Lots of people become writers without a proper journalism or English degree. He is just is not there yet.

Not anymore. Gasol isn't what he used to be.

Having said that, the PHX trade will be announced by Friday. :wink:

What, you have a source?

That is a scary front line but Deng does so much for Chicago. They cannot afford to lose him and stay competitive against Miami.

That being said I would do a Bynum, Boozer, Deng, and LA + Dallas's picks for Dwight, Hedo, and BBD or Nelson in a second

Curry for Rondo was discussed? Why does Boston want to trade Rondo? Have I missed something?

I forgot about Bynum for some reason

I'll be very happy if Chicago makes that trade, I do not understand why they would do it.

If that's the case then trade him now. Best offer gets him. Cannot let him go for nothing.

Poop one out and post it where? Here? I've written quite a few extensive in-depth looks at the Magic's options, the new CBA, a game-theory perspective on the whole ordeal, possible motives of all sides involved....go down the list. What a stupid comment. The guy isn't exactly some amazing writer. I could easily do what he does. Not just saying that to say that, I'm saying that based on my education/background. "Grow up"? People aren't allowed to bash a "writer" if they think his work isn't up to par, but you can bash Otis all day long? Hell, the guy is a "columnist", and much like BS, he constantly has typos and grammatical errors. He called a guy out for mixing up "your" and "you're" and then about 30 minutes later on Twitter screwed up "there" and "their".

OMG I really dont give a ****....but where do I start...
ok, You're the one that said you could poop one out so I guess it was a stupid comment.....I actually dont bash Otis, ask anyone in here. I can tell your observation skills are up to par.

Maybe people in here could act a little more lilke adults, nothing wrong with criticizing someone but verbally bashing someone that goes out of their way to come in here and talk to us is pretty immature and embarassing. So yeah maybe try acting with a little more class when those opportunities arise. That'd be cool.

There is nothing I could care less about than what you do and your background. Even less, if Rudoplh gets paid or not. I would much rather write about my favorite sport than fix network issues. Even if he doesnt get paid he's getting recognition on articles that he writes. Congrats to you if you do too but havent seen any..just saying.

Why is it that everytime Im not with the mob that wants to hate on someone I get jumped?
