Keep Hedo. He is an expiring. I say put JRich in there instead. No reason to have JRich, Harden, JJ, and Liggins

I've stated this before, but I'll say it again. I don't trust Woj when it comes to Dwight info.

Jameer
Harden
Ariza
Ibaka

Harden is averaging 10ppg in the finals, Westbrook 29/7/7

Don't know the validity of this but according to Yaboyrich from Trueblue Dwight has not asked for a trade as far as he knows.....just focusing on getting healthy.....now Yaboyrich said that a week or so ago so it's possible something might have changed but IDK.....i'm just getting tired of "Sources" say this or "Sources" say that....you'd think it was an actual person.....

Hennigan can't win in a deal that involves trading Dwight. I wouldn't expect too much from a trade.

i don't believe dwight wants out. in fact i think he will like our new gm.

What's the board feeling Jeremy Lin?

The breaking of the Dwight wanting a draft day deal story coinciding perfectly with the breaking of the Magic hiring a GM makes me very skeptical of it. Plus it's Woj. He's had Dwight in Brooklyn several times now. I think if Woj does have sources saying that, this is where other people with their own agendas start coming into play. I find it hard to believe Dwight wouldn't take the time to at least see the vision that Hennigan and the Magic have. I feel like Woj was just saving a story like this to rain on Magic fans parade.

He's a restricted FA - IMO someone will throw a bunch of money at him just to make the cash off jersey sales. Don't think we have a chance.

If a Houston trade does surface what would be a good combo of players at 14 16 & 19

We could probably even move up.

With agreement reached, Hennigan will focus on Dwight Howard and draft, sources say. Orlando coaching search won't start until after draft.

That's fine, that means he'll just draft the best player available.

I think this hire is going to seal the deal of us getting Malone as the coach

Apparently Coach Pops is a big fan of malone and has helped him get a couple jobs in the past and Hennigan mentioned Pops when it comes to his managing style, so it wouldnt surprise me if Popovich recommends him. Plus Malone already has ties to the team (his dad is an assistant) and has the support of superstar players like Chris Paul

I'll take it.

Question. Does anyone know if the press conference will be on tv or on the Orlando Magic website?

Nemesis21 · Post #1419 » by **Nemesis21** » Wed Jun 20, 2012 11:49 pm

I don't buy Dwight asking for a trade draft week.

i don't mind this - i would like to see reports that both malone and shaw interview for the job just so we can know that we'll be happy with either choice at the end of the day
