Don't read that allowing Dwight to talk to teams means he is out of Orlando... It means he can decide now if he really wants to leave.

It's amazing how one person's spin can make it sounds so much better.

Anybody read the WT on Nets could lose D Will due to the tampering ? The Magic need to fill those charges. After NJ is hit with those penalties, D Will won't want to stay. Then maybe we can convince him to come play with D12 in Orlando.

This whole sage is bugging me so much that I just wrote an email to Alex Martins asking him not to trade D12 under no circumstances and to fire this sorry excuce of a GM. Please, let it happen! *pray*

I think all trades are on lock down till this cp3 trade is handled. Then the dominoes fall.

'm disinclined to believe Howard has already made up his mind to leave; I think he's conflicted, and his curt answers to certain questions Friday night were more a sign of fatigue--the Magic practiced for over three hours in their return to the floor--and frustration with the line of questioning than with genuine hostility, if that makes any sense. That he went through a Stan Van Gundy practice the day after celebrating his 26th birthday could also have contributed to the tone of his responses.

I didnt even think about that......being a x athlete I can tell you from experience, that a 3 hour practice hung over after a long offseason is enough to put anyone in a bad mood.
Are you buying it?

Are we all doing our part and bombing Dwight's twitter with how much we love him? I'm pretty sure fans of Dallas, NJ, and the Lakers are. And I'm also pretty sure 90 percent of what Orlando is sending him is "Lebron Leaving Clevelandish."

We need to step it up. Let him know no one loves him like we do.

Also, I watched that video of him after practice. Prepared for the worst after what other people said about it. And you know what? I found myself laughing and charmed by him like I always am which made it hurt all the more that he might leave. If anything, he just seems tired. I didn't get the impression he had at all made up his mind. I have always got the impression he's bored with our local media. Nothing new there.

I also don't see the whole permission to seek a trade as that big of a deal. The front office is doing the right thing and saying we love you enough to let you explore your options, but hope you will find there's no place like home. And I'm pretty sure him asking for it went something like: "I don't want to leave Orlando, but I have to see what is out there. Will you give that to me?"

I feel like I've gone through all the stages of grief.. Denial.. Shock.. Hope.. Anger.. Sadness.. and currently desperation.

If they are prepared to trade Dwight, cant they stop the Big Baby trade? dont want to commit that money to him for being on Dwight's list, if he isnt going to be here.
