Pretty much - The funny part is he's surprised nobody is jumping up and down for a package of JJ, Duhan and QRich :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Sounds like the key for Otis Smith is the Bucks. They got what GS wants (Bogut) and what Dwight wants and the Bucks want to be rid of (SJax). Maybe there's something there

the magic f.o doesnt leak info for what theyre doing. see last years trades.

jareth is a troll on truebluenation who has about 50 accounts. he has no info he only posts stupid espn trade machine ideas

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

IMO Orlando needs to go big and offer their 2013 unprotected pick if they're going to make this big move.

Otis reminds me of someone who is delusional... he constantly has that stupid troll smile on his face and he always says "I like this team" like an incessant blowhard... I legitimately think HE believes his moves are amazing... "We have duplicate talent" :roll: ... yeah, duplicate talent that no one wants.

who's jareth if I don't mind asking?

btw the only intriguing piece of info I got from truebluenation was a screen cap from someone's twitter direct messages with Dwight Howard... I still have it... Dwight says, "Man I'm ready to leave" [Dec 10th 2011]

there was more screen-caps too... he posted them on his facebook but removed it. i posted it on here a couple months ago, but then i asked a mod to remove it as well.

other than that, i'm not too impressed with truebluenation... maybe someday i'll get on it.

I think Orlando has to find a 3rd or 4th team that is willing to deal... that's the biggest issue... if they can find someone (Houston, New Orleans, Utah, Milwaukee, etc...) I think a deal can occur... but without them I doubt anyone is going to take anything we have, including the 2013 pick :-? :(

Some cognitive dissonance. RT @erenerdo Why is it that the Magic think they can keep Dwight after all these public trade requests?
