Very bipolar here. People should realize it's a crazy time. Alot of rumors are flying around. Writers are trying to get hits to their website/twitter. Don't believe everything you read. When or If Dwight is traded then you can come back and blow up RealGm with an angry Dan Gilbert like letter to Dwight. Until then chill.Go out and get some fresh air.

Dream on guys. Theres no way that the Nets are going to ink a contract that takes their options to get Dwight away. If that goes down then the Magic had the goods on the nets for tampering and were told to back off or else.

There is such a thing as 3 way trades aka Denver trades Nene to Orlando, Prick to Nets and Lopez to Denver.

Yes that could happen, but why are we hearing Nene to the nets, instead of Nene to Orlando, Dwight howard three team trade to NJ headlines?

I was just thinking since the NBA is becoming a joke like professional wrestling that the NBA must be targeting kids, young adults and idiots. Sort of like Idiocracy. Because, I don't see how intelligent human beings can watch a circus and sustain their entertainment.

Because, the reporters only know that the Nets are talking to Nene.

Seriously though, how does the Nets' depth compare to Our depth? Outside deron, i think we still have better players than them.

Based on what I know, what I've been told in last 24hrs and what's been written I expect Dwight Howard's time in a Magic uniform to end soon

I need drugs. NOW.

Rudolph continues to prove what a joke he is...

He's no insider. He has as much knowledge as any Magic fan on this board. He follows the news and then he makes assumptions based on them. Now that everybody is saying Dwight's gone, he magically changes position... what a dummy. Anybody following him should unfollow. If Dwight doesn't get traded, Rudolph will be the first person I message/tweet.

So these Nene reports are false? Fire Stan. Why would we back off the nets tampering charges or else? Fire Stan. If we take away their picks and the ability to sign Dwight or trade for him than Deron would not want to stay in that situation. Fire Stan. Who wants to stay with a team that's been penalized like that? Fire Stan.

Like I said, this is me, no sources, no quotes or inside info. Just taking a common sense approach. I don't like the Magic's chances

I was just thinking, wouldn't it benefit both Dwight and Deron more if Deron were to demand to be traded here?

But he won't, and we all know why.

We do.

I honestly don't see the appeal for ANY of those team's except LAL. Dallas is good but they are OLD. Kidd, Dirk, and Jet are all on the wrong side of 30. The Nets have NOTHING aside from Deron. To me seems like Dwight could pick a better place to go or just stay.

I think this is just going up on ESPN, but we still have ability to claim tampering if Dwight was the guy who talked to the Nets in Miami. His agent has been given the ability to talk to those teams as of late last night. Dwight never had, and does not have, ability to talk to other teams.

If nets sign nene, and the cp3 trade gets denied again, he might just be forced to stay.

His agent would have leaked something. You don't speak directly to NJ and then expect a S&T to Orlando. Has Nene even visisted Orlando during Free Agency? When you are a free agent and are in talks for something like that, usually would tour the city you'd end up in. Meet the management...see the arena.

I was thinking more along the lines of the CP3 trade going through, but the Lakers being forced to take back Okafor. Plus Bynum going out instead of Gasol. With Okafor and Pau under contract with CP3 and Kobe they'd have no money to after Dwight. That would eliminate their chances, unless they trade Kobe or Paul to us later.
