Al is full of BS. Is it the Magic fault that he had a botch surgery? Or that when he returned he looked like an old pickup truck with flat tires? Dude was seriously dragging a leg and wouldnt be playing for most other teams. Yes the Magic are tanking but its not their fault he's injured. Take it like a man.

On another note, the Wiz will make the playoffs. They played well in the 2nd half had a winning home record.

I think the wiz deff get the 8th spot. They were playing really well at the end of the year when John Wall came back and that was still without Beal.

Add in Nene being healthy+porter and they are easily battling for the 8th seed.

Obviously the Wizards will most likely win more games than the Magic, but they are still not that great and the best they will probably do is barely make the playoffs. You would think someone who says he wants to win would go to a better team than that. Granted maybe they were the best team that was willing to sign him, but idk, it just annoys me how he talks about last year but then just signs with another not so great team

He's just salty the Magic didn't release him sooner, so he could join a real contender and not just a fringe playoff team... unfortunately for him he doesn't realize how bad he looked last year with that gimpy leg. Doesn't help that he said multiple times he's not sure how long his body will hold up. Dude is a risk for any playoff team to take on. He will break down, it's just a question of when.

Well said. Ryan, from every account, appears to be a great guy.

Wow so they are saying it was the relationship that instigated the suicide? If true that's going to be rough on Ryan.

I feel for Ryno, he's one of the good guys. Hope he doesn't dwell on this for too long.

On the WT, it seems we had a tentative agreement with HOU? How would that have worked out if it pushed through?

Originally it would appear that Houston had far and away the best offer, and maybe they would have been better but now it looks like we got the best deal out of Dwight. When all of us first saw the deal it looked like total crap, but it ended up dang good somehow. Whether it was luck or genius scouting who knows.

OrlandoNed · Post #59 » by **OrlandoNed** » Thu Aug 15, 2013 12:48 am

We still don't know what exactly was the agreed upon deal, so we can't say for certain it was better than what we ended up with. (Which was pretty good, given the circumstances.)
