@bigdogdylan5

I agree, he does tweet a lot of nonsense/random stuff. Believe it or not, I'm still following him, not b/c I want to, but b/c i'm lazy too take him off my list. I really don't find him too annoying. Like you said, he usually tweets a lot and usually it's stupid stuff.
This was the first time I've seen him tweet anything speculative. That's why I posted it here. I'm not saying it is true. Note, I did write OT.

YBR is posting some real attention seeking crap of he's saying something as ambiguous as that.

But I won't pretend like it doesn't intrigue me...

Top guesses at what he would have heard?

1) Dwight told him he's gonna force his way to Brooklyn, either via s&t for Lopez or he'll straight up sign with Brooklyn.
2) Dwight told him Fegan is already working a 3-way to send him to BKN, Lopez to SAC, Cousins to LAL.
3) Dwight told him he's going to demand LA trade Kobe.
4) Dwight told him he's planning to sign with Dallas with CP3.
5) Dwight told him he's planning on coming back to Orlando, and that he only forced a trade out to give Orlando a chance to land more talent to partner with him (LOL)

I also followed YBR for a few days but couldn't put up with the amount of non-basketball related tweets. However, he always said that he's a Magic fan first. Wonder if it's Dwight related or Magic related?

YBR's tweet as confirmed what I've longed believed to be Henny's next move. It's going to be

Mo Harkless, Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Affalo, Al Harrington and four first round picks for Chris Duhon and Dwight Howard.

Woohoo! Strap in! 8-)

YBR is a fool. I don't/didn't believe anything he ever said.

He's just throwing **** at the wall and hoping it sticks. It doesn't take a genius to see Dwight probably isn't happy getting ~9 attempts a game.

Swiftraven · Post #428 » by **Swiftraven** » Sun Dec 23, 2012 4:56 pm

It was not Magic related so i guarentee it was dwight related.

I am thinking Dwight cant handle Kobe riding his ass constantly so is looking toward the Mavs in the offseason.

Apparently Dan Fegan represents Al Harrington too. So maybe DMC to ORL could get some life.

Trivia of the day: Tyreke Evans's middle name is Jameer (well, Jamir). Speculate on!

Alec Burks should come up in more trade rumors. Young, athletic creative guard mired on the bench of a win now team and with multiple years remaining on his rookie deal. Would bring offense to a team that needs it, and has the potential to grow into a very good player on a team like ORL

IMO, Jazz will use him as a throw in to get a better return on Millsap at the deadline.

I've pushed for him for a while.

Yup. Burks is a guy to keep an eye on. Shved, Ross, Lamb, Singler, Evans, and Brooks are some other young SG's to keep an eye on (some more realistic than others). But you get what I am trying to say; a young 2 guard that has potential is a need going forward.

Theres an insider article on the espn frontpage right now that speaks about the bucks and how they should trade monta. No sources at all, but the writer feels that monta will not take his player option this offseason and will therefore become an unrestricted FA, which might mean the bucks choose to trade him before the deadline. Clearly the monta snd jennings thing isnt working for them.

JJ for Monta? Wouldnt work straight up, but could work if we use the TPE... His value will be far lower than it was when he was in gsw...

fendilim · Post #438 » by **fendilim** » Mon Dec 24, 2012 1:58 am

Take Monta and we'll be stuck in mediocrity, IMO.

Its too late to change plans now, the plan in to re-build from scratch. Going for quick fixes mid-way wouldn't help us at all.

Orlando Prodigy · Post #439 » by **Orlando Prodigy** » Mon Dec 24, 2012 2:18 am

I love Monta, and begged for him last year while we were contending but not on a rebuilding team.

I still say we need to get a PG prospect in a trade. Whether it's Tyreke or Bledsoe. I kinda prefer Bledsoe.

We already have potentially our SF, PF, and Center of the future. So that leaves two positions remaining. Personally, I'd keep JJ. He's perfect in a sixth man role, even in two years time. That's why I'd try packaging Afflalo in a deal for one of the two PGs I mentioned. Then draft a SG. Shabazz or McLemore. I like Shabazz more...has a much higher ceiling.

Bledsoe/Nelson
Redick/Muhammad
Harkless/Turkoglu
Davis/Nicholson
Vucevic/O'Quinn

With the goal of developing our young guys, especially Shabazz, and suck enough to get a top two pick next year

yeah, given that after Wade and Harden, there really aren't any SGs who are poised to be elite 2's in the near future - or, not as they're currently playing. Would be a great opportunity to grab one of these guys, push their development and potentially cash in on a really weak roster spot.

IMO, I'd much rather be investing our PT into one of those guys rather than Afflalo. Afflalo is what he is, and that's solid, but these guys have the potential to be so much more.
