I hope Otis can somehow swing a deal with the Suns for Nash. Not just for whatever value he brings us, but for his expiring contract in combination with getting rid of some of our expiring for next year. Not sure what we'd have to give the Suns to make them take on players with one more year on their deals than Nash, but I'd be willing to give them Anderson IF there was somehow a plan in place to bring Dwight and Deron here in the summer. We'd be a Glen Davis or J-Rich trade away from having the same cap space as Dallas this summer.

Also don't forget they have Aaron Brooks coming back from China. So if the Suns play terrible maybe Nash is shipped off for younger guys and picks.

Not that I'm overly excited about Nash, but don't forget PHO owes Otis for giving them Gortat and taking Turk.

I got an idea. We should find some kid that has incurable cancer and make some viral video of his last wish is to see Dwight win a Champship with Orlando.

After watching the game last night and going back and looking at some clips of him. I think he is overrated. IF he is the guy dwight wants, ok but I wonder if we could find a better star to pair with diwght.

I'm not goin to lie, Deron's body language was terrible. He looked disinterested and unhappy. NJ has been down by at least 20 points every game this year, it has to be wearing on him. I honestly think it looked like he wanted out more then Dwight. And remember Deron is not a guy to publicly demand a trade. He got out of Utah without a public request. I'm not saying Orlando has a shot at him, I'm just saying it looked like he was miserable. On a different note, Marshon can friggen hoop!

Think about it. Deron Williams forced Jerry Sloan to retire in Utah. One of the best coaches in the history of the NBA. Deron is like a child. Wait until the Nets keep playing horribly and Dwight will see the real Deron Williams. That may change the idea of playing in New Jersey or with Deron Williams. At least in Orlando, Dwight does not have to deal with huge Ego issues.

Don't ever be tricked into thinking Dwill is over-rated. Up until he was traded from Utah, I watched everyone of his games. The guy can ball and is better then Paul, Nash, and anybody else you can think of. If you have forgotten how good he is, I encourage you to take a look back to last yr when he and Milsap brought Jazz back from over 20 down to beat Orlando in Orlando.

Maybe he has just given up then. It's funny nobody is accusing him of being "disengaged".

Disengaged is the correct assumption. What is he playing for currently? Not a playoff spot and I'm not sold he wants to be there long term...
