Howard has become the absolute worst player in our franchise history. I hate him and everything he represents.

Oh and if he ends up as a Lakers, I'm officially done with the NBA. I hope every one jumps on board and leaves too.

This is why the CP3 talks are stalled. Otis has his hand in the game too now.

I just think Otis should be fired, he wants to trade Howard but, ownership is against it. Devos fires Goatis immediately before he makes another panic trade.

Why would they have a stretch / cut rule for only new contracts, but then make the same exact thing with the renegotiate and extend rule for new contracts only again? I know one cuts but it's still odd. I think its a rule for old contracts and I want 100% confirm before I say, "ok, lakers need amnesty kobe for cap space or do some downright crazy trades/make dwight sign for way less than he should." These are two separate things, the stretch/cut and reneg/extend. Orlando and the rest of the league probably liked it but forgot to see it was a huge B list item for the Lakers at this moment to get 10mil cap space off Kobe's contract.

Players can't just opt out of their current contract when said contract has no opt out option. They could add a new extension to Kobe's deal, but they can't change his existing deal just for the hell of it.

There's a new rule in the new CBA that allows up to a max 40% drop in contract value for a contract to be renegotiated for less and then extended further. This is fact. The only disputable notion is whether it applies to new contracts moving forward like the Stretch and Cut, of if its applicable to all contracts now.

I keep saying this over and over. It's down to like 2-4 teams here. No teams going to offer a lot like what happened with CP3. It's going to come down to LAL if Otis still has a Bynum deal without Gasol on the top of the list, then NJ, BOS, DAL, LAC if any of them take Dwight without extension or Dwight would extend with one of them instead of LAL.

Actually that's exactly how I felt lol. I feel like, "OK, Let's get it over with and get onto the next chapter of Orlando Magic basketball." right now.

dwight SET up New Jersey so the rules will not allow us to trade him there for tampering. The mavs have nothing to trade. He thinks he tricked us but truthfully LA is NOT under the cap yet so they can't sign dwight as a free agent.

I'm a Raptor fan, Toronto is where I was born and where I live, and I can't even imagine how you guys feel. We've lost every franchise player we've ever had and it sucks, but Carter and Bosh compared to Shaq & Dwight isn't even a comparison. As bad as it feels now for you guys don't worry, at least you aren't us.

You'll be back in the playoffs before you know it - book it!

One thing I love about our RealGM board. TRUE Magic fans, not bandwagon D12 fans. We will rebuild and be back someday.

So I am not a true Magic fan ? Even though I've been a fan since day 1, didn't jump on Penny/Shaq bandwagon, was on board before they came. I went to the 1st ever Magic game at 6 yr old. I have grown up with this team and rooted for them with every once of my blood.
I just can not bear losing another player of this caliber and continuing on with my day.

So maybe in your opinion I am a bandwagon fan.

Just curious, but if Miami offered you Chris Bosh would you say yes?

Watch Otis trade Howard for Lebron. Haha/ Then we could boo two players at the all-star game.
