I enjoyed rev's posts. Even if things dont happen, its nice to believe you are getting info from people that the higher ups are discussing behind closed doors.

Rudolph was also hinting around the other day that Hedo is on the outs with the team. I can believe this idea. Also, I have no doubt BBD has requested a trade out of here if that's the case. He should. And hopefully his agent can sell another GM that BBD was never happy here and that's why he's playing badly.

Rev... for sure.. I feel like most of what Rev said had some truth to it.

The thing with these NBA rumors is that the dynamic of everything in this association changes so quickly and nothing is ever guaranteed. I used to update my friends on every rumor I heard, some of which were very close to happening... but I stopped doing that because everyday there's a rumor, which just means everyday someone somewhere is doing their job right, but doesn't mean anything will actually happen.

I still think the Rafer Alston trade was the best example of this... NO ONE knew that was going to happen, we had a million other trade rumors that year, but getting Rafer was not one of them

I wonder if we could swap BBD for Hickson. They could absorb BBD with their space, but they might want something else for taking on 4 years.

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

I know I'm over-analyzing, but the use of the word "we" means this person is really close to Dwight. Perhaps a family member or his agent?

Good read. Agree. I'm just not sure how big his circle is or who is in it.
