I hope Nicholson isn't getting moved.

“@dbm422: @MaxLuckan wow if u think Blake is better than Duhon, that's not saying much for Duhon.

Lakers fans won't know what hit them with Dudu

This. I'll stick thru it, we'll come around as we have done in the past. Now, who will be our scapegoat? Doo doo seems to be gone.

Tim Kawakami ‏@timkawakami
Just as a DHoward/Orlando exercise, remember months ago GSWs were prepared to offer some combo of Ellis, Klay T, David Lee & Udoh for him.

Would have been better trade chips.

I'm really starting to think the Devos family just wants puppets in place and hires GM's and coaches in name only and they are the ones truly running everything.

Gonna play some Skyward Sword to take my mind off this crap.

I can only imagine the amount of babies he's going to leave around LA.

Wow man if Nicholson is traded then even i might get a little ticked....i mean They raved about Andrew talking about how they scouted him and wanted him so bad only to throw him into a deal when he doesn't have to be in the deal...WTF is going on here? so is it really down to shipping out Nicholson to get an older suckier Mcroberts? Things would have officially gone fubar if that has any legitimacy to it....only reason i see that tweet leaking is probably Denver wants him and might be trying to strong arm the magic into including him just to get the deal done.....speechless if it goes down....one of the few players i am looking forward to seeing play this upcoming season.....

No way the Magic giving up their 1st pick of the Henny era in the deal, not happening. Nicholson isn't going anywhere.

The NBA on ESPN‏@NBAonESPN

Every team in the Dwight Howard deal won big ... except the one trading him. Check out @johnhollinger's analysis: http://es.pn/S6kkJn

John Hollinger‏@johnhollinger

Go easy on Hennigan. Hearing Orl Pres Alex Martins likely ran this one. Always good to have non-bball folks make critical decision.

John Hollinger‏@johnhollinger

I guess Iguodala just had more trade value than Dwight.

John Hollinger‏@johnhollinger

Based on what I've been told Houston pretty clearly had a better offer -- including a guaranteed lotto pick. Frustrating day for Rox.

devin kharpertian‏@uuords

The pick the Magic got from Philly is worse than the pick the Nets got from Golden State for Marcus Williams.

Evan Dunlap‏@BQRMagic

Remember in 2010 when the Magic nearly signed Al Harrington but instead decided to split the MLE on Chris Duhon and QRichardson?

id we could get 3 of the 4 that would be a great deal if they took back one of our bad contracts.

Thompson Udoh and Ellis for Dwight and jrich

that dude that tweeted about Nicholson is a hack...I agree this deal is mindblowingly bad (still better for our future than the nets offer imo), but that would be ALLTIME BAD if we also threw in our 1st round pick for no reason

for those fans jumping off i don't blame you. whats the **** point if we draft another superstar, we will just hand him over to the fakers. we are LA's farming team. wish we had management with balls to tell howard to stfu and trade him to the bobcats and tell LA to **** off.

here's a link of big baby playing pickup. Not sure when it was recorded but does he look hella outta shape or is it just me? Putting on weight to play center?

Time will tell on this deal, Bynum's health, the youth we got in return, the picks. Give it two years, either Henny looks like a genius or stays the way its looking right now...
