We are going into full blown rebuilding, meaning we are going to suck for at least 2-3 seasons. The sooner I can get that thru my head the easier it will become. This sucks.

100% agree with you...even though I hate the USF Cows (Go Knights!).

I've been following the team since '91, I'm not gonna stop now.

So, Armon Johnson and Shelden Williams are both UFA, Walton is an expiring, and Lopez is a SnT max for something around what Hibbert was offered.

Does anyone know if the Nets can trade UFA or will they have to SnT?

Marc Berman
Deron Williams was open today discussing Dwight's urge to join the Brooklyn project. More than he has ever been. "I think he likes the market,'' Williams said today before practicing with the U.S. Olympic Team at UNLV. "It's a lot different from Orlando. He definitely wants to play with me. We talked about playing together for years. That's a big part of it as well. The last Olympics, we talked about it. That was four years ago.''

Looking more & more like there was several team up discussions in the last olympics, hell probably in 04 one as well.....

To be clear, I'm told Kris Humphries is only interested in multi-year GUARANTEED deal.

OUR SAVIOR GUYS!!!

Be sure the target of your frustration is correctly placed.

Why are we needing to rebuild, again?

Why are backed into a corner as far as trading partners?

etc...

Cheer the players. Boo the owner. He has been the one constant throughout the years of stupidity and ineptness.

I told you this trade would not go through because of Kris contract , there is no way Cavs would give multiple contract to Kris Humpries

Next season will show us who's a real Magic fan and who's only a Magic fan when they're winning ..

Teams need their fans the most when they're struggling. Bandwagon fans need to go to the Heat or Nets board and stay there, don't bother coming back when we're winning again.

There will be some rough years ahead, but we're just gonna keep getting better and better till we find the right players to do what Dwight&Shaq never could, bring a championship to the City of Orlando.

The best way to get back at Dwight? Trade our newly acquired expirings for Boozer, Jackson & Ellis.

"Hey Dwight, is this what you wanted?! Too late sucka! have fun in New York!"

:cry:

And the one that didn't sell the team .... and the one that spent $$$$$$ to build the arena ... and the one that spent $$$$$ to get us to the finals .... and the one spent the $$$$ to make us one of the winningiest teams recently ....

Frustration can go to both D12 and the management. I tend to place it more so on management. They had 8 years to get D12 a sidekick and they couldn't do it.

It's a trend with the Magic franchise. I'm glad that this whole Dwight fiasco has forced us to get rid of the old regime and start fresh. But if the new one makes the same mistakes as the others, what has really changed?
