One source close to the situation told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher that the Magic have promised Howard that they will add a quality player before Thursday's deadline and that Howard can decide the fate of both GM Otis Smith and coach Stan Van Gundy at the end of the season if he signs an extension...

Dwight is a dick if gets Stan fired....

Martins really putting it on Dwight hard in the last week. Trying to make all of Orlando blame Dwight.

I feel like the Magic front office has turned into this guy

If Bucks move Andrew Bogut, rival executives believe a Brandon Jennings trade would follow. Bucks' roster may look very different on Friday.

Crazy as they just overtook the Knicks for the 8th spot in the playoffs. Shows how bad the Knicks are, the Bucks don't even want to be in the playoffs and they're still ahead of NY

I'm going to sleep for real this time. However, I plan on waking up in 1 hr intervals just to check on the rumors.

Wow... Jennings? really?... dang, Bucks are serious about this

We have to latch on to Milwaukee and get Golden State Bogut somehow... it's the only way we can get Ellis.

Post #249 » by **Bensational** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 6:49 am

if Milwaukee DO decide to blow up, then that could be our saving grace. Jennings has made it clear he plans to explore FA, so they may opt to try and get value for him now, which means they may be in the mix for a new PG. that means we can start offering up packages that feature Jameer!

MIL: Jameer + JJ + Anderson + Kwame

GSW: Bogut + Hedo + Orton

ORL: Monta + Biedrins + Gooden + Mbah a Moute

Dwight/Biedrins
BBD/Gooden
Mbah/Q/Clark
JRich/Von
Monta/Duhon

now, it's not pretty... and it ruins us financially for a few years... but the silver lining is we bring defense back to the lineup, we concentrate our scoring into Dwight/Monta/JRich, and hopefully it convinces Dwight to opt in for one more season.

Who needs a PG? the only team I can think of is the Lakers. but, I don't think he would fit well with them. too many shots between Kobe, him, Bynum, and Gasol.

Anybody know if there is someway to keep anderson
while getting Monta? Then in the offseason Fran would
man up and backup Dwight?

We would have go to scorers Howard Ellis
Shooters
Bigs
we would still need defenders

Don't push it. You guys already have a hard time trying to get Ellis even WITH Ryno, JJredick, etc. Besides DH, Magic has a mediocre team, sorry to say but true.

Night bro

I'm off to bed as well. See you guys in the morning.

The Magic will do anything to keep Dwight Howard.

They know how long it will take to recover if he decides to leave.

My worry is Dwight might decide he still wants out even if an Ellis deal can be completed and then the distractions of this rumored promise of Dwight deciding Otis Smith and Stan Van Gundy's fates will hang over this team's head and potentially damage the organization's reputation.

I believe The Magic would do anything to keep Dwight but a lot of questions still remain.

If top 5 in the entire NBA is mediocre than I guess we are mediocre.
