Dude was so desperate to get out of Orlando, just so he could sign with the Wizards?

Pfff, and he didn't want to restructure his contract to help us
So much about I want to win

I go out there, and I back Andrew Bynum way under the rim. I’m loose, I’m ready. I’ve got Bynum under the basket and again, Baby won’t give me the ball. So I go up to him and say, “If you ever miss me again I’m going to punch you in the face.” I was hot.
Two nights later we’re playing in Sacramento and here we go again. I take three shots the entire game and again I’ve got my man isolated underneath the basket, and Baby ignores me and takes a jump shot. So the next time we’re in the huddle I let Baby have it.
I tell him, “Pass the [expletive] ball inside.” He comes back at me a little bit and now I’m really heated. All hell is breaking loose. We’re going back and forth. Doc is standing there and he’s not saying a word. The message is pretty clear: Work this out yourselves. I tell Baby, “You’re a selfish player. Everyone on this team knows it.” Hey, all the fans knew it. He takes shots when he shouldn’t.
Not only that. Shaq mentioned BBD's low IQ on the court. Will try to find a quote.

He was so obviously he wanted to be the man and make a name for himself and get his shine on. If he detriments the growth of our young players this year, he needs to be traded ASAP, don't even think twice about it.

Now add injuries to our three key vets, and I don't see how people think we're not going to be any better this year. It's one thing to say we're not good enough to make the playoffs, but to think we're basically going to be at the same level as last year strikes me as outlandish.
IF we stay healthy AND we don't trade any vets, we'll be much better. Unfortunately, much better than the worst isn't all that great. We won 20 games last year. IF all goes well (for those that want to win and lessen their chance on acquiring a franchise player in the draft) I can see us winning 32 games. That is a HUGE improvement but not nearly enough to get into the playoffs.
Face it, you don't hear Rob or Vaughn talking about playoffs, do you? They don't even mention it.
Now, if we land a franchise player in next years draft, I guarantee they BOTH will be talking about playoff aspirations RIGHT AFTER the draft.

Like I said, I don't disagree about us not making the playoffs, but to think we'll be just as bad as last year without major injuries is crazy. 32 wins is right around what I've been saying all summer. That would have put us in a tie for 9th-worst last year, when significantly fewer teams were trying to tank.
If Meer, AA, and BBD are all traded or injured, then we might drop down to the mid-20s, but even that assumes that Dipo, Harris, Vooch, and Harkless are not as good as we think/hope they are.
