1) Hire Mitch Kupchack as GM
2) Bring in Donnie Walsh as president
3) Hire Brian Shaw as coach
4) Preform this trade http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=3qq249k
5) Flip Gasol in this deal.
*Magic Send: Pau Gasol, Chirs Duhon
* Bucks Send Monta Ellis, Drew Gooden
6) Nelson leaves
7) Ryno leaves
8) Don't waive Redick, work out a new three year extension
9) Draft Tony Wroten Jr.
10) Sign Nic Batum to a 4 year 28 million dollar deal (full MLE first year)
11) Sign Pryzbilla to the min
12) Bring back Ish for the min

Monta Ellis - Tony Wroten Jr. - Ish Smith
JJ Redick - Jason Richardson - Von Wafter
Nic Batum - Quinton Richardson - Justin Harper
Glen Davis - Drew Gooden - Earl Clark
Andrew Bynum - Joel Pryzbilla

At the very least this gives us a bunch of assets. Get a true game changer at the 2 or 4 and this group is a championship caliber squad.

Until Orlando says so or have shown that's what they are doing then this story is speculation. And if it so happened that they do trade him, it doesn't make the story true just someone who guessed really well.

Why didn't you ask where Sheridan got his information?
Why didn't you ask who the source was?
Why put yourself in such a frame of mind?

Dwight hasn't said ANYTHING after what happened with him and SVG. He has been silent, didn't even say he was rooting for Orlando during the playoffs and yet we heard from teammates that he's been talking with them.

Orlando has to worry about getting a GM and a coach before deciding what to do with Dwight, so I wouldn't even alarm myself UNTIL it is being reported by people from the Organization themselves that they are going to trade Dwight.

I take it as speculation, as I do with most of this stuff, but I also think he heard it from someone else given some of the detail. I don't think its his speculation alone. They flew up to MI for a meeting with the owner, that I believe is the most accurate part. Words could have been strained from we are prepared to trade Dwight to we are going to trade Dwight. I'm not saying it hasn't been embellished at all, just that I believe that there is something to it. We don't hear about anyone flying out to meet with Dwight, no photo op, no leaked info that we are working hard at keeping the big guy happy. I sense a certain attitude from Dwight and his girl as well. And, as I explained, I think hiring for these two spots are contingent on Dwight's sentiments and intentions. I don't think they want to trade him, but believe that they will be forced to if he doesn't work with Martins on a plan, that's the logical part for me. If all of this was before the debacle we just went through, I'd give Dwight more of the benefit of doubt, but I'm past that point of trusting him now.

He has more trade value now than he does at the trade deadline. The Magic are cleaning house (and that includes Dwight).

All we can hope is that Dwight has been enjoying his time in LA enough that he can give the Lakers the thumbs-up this go-around. Getting Bynum back makes the rebuilding much less painful than it would be with just Lopez.

Both Bynum and Lopez need to be paid soon so getting them back for a rebuild period is worthless.

Here's what I think about the Dwight Howard rumors: Where there's smoke, there's fire. However, one-way rumors generally stink of agenda

@chrslee212 @jrudolphsports Some do get both sides. Some just seem to enjoy the process of participating in the advancement of a story-line.

@JRudolphSports I agree. Observing coverage of Magic, w/what I know to be many inaccuracies, makes me wary of ALL sports media coverage.
