I don't even know what is going on anymore, but whatever. One day at a time, the life of a Magic fan. The only constant variable is how suck our GM is.

I'm starting to agree with her (which is a first). this is becoming tough to handle...

Who in the blue hell cares what Doris Burke says? She has got to be one of the worst in the business male or female.

I agree. but, this is getting annoying...

lol...I'm just a reasonable guy. Sports is emotional and sometimes gets the best of you. I was devastated when we traded our franchise in Kidd and Carter, so I know how it is. It really f'ing sucks. The thing about being loyal to your team though is to stay through the down times, because when you're good it makes it all that sweeter. The Magic franchise will be fine without Dwight, if he leaves. You guys have seen it before, and came back to the top. It will happen again. Maybe not next year or two years from now, but you guys will recover. Orlando will always be a place that players will like to play. New Jersey....not so much. Thats why the Nets can't get out of there quick enough. Our fans suck, nobody shows up to games (with dirt cheap tix), and it sucks.

Look for trade tomorrow.

I bet they deal Dwight to a renter.

I hope we send him to some team in Israel and someone there drops a bomb on him.

lmaooooooo

In conference call tonight w/Magic officials before game in S.A., Dwight Howard tells team he's NOT waiving his ETO

How reliable is this?

I'm so scared

I would put stein behind woj as an insider. Legit as they come

He would be giving up leverage and again its UNPRECEDENTED for him to do so.

It is very screwed up, Howard is OBVIOUSLY a follower and not a leader.

Well the Magic are not going to let Dwight dictate how this will go. I respect them for that. They have a "eff us? NO eff you Dwight!" attitude. I can't wait to see how this all plays out.
