This "decision over GM and coach" thing could be false. It could also be posturing to be able to say look we did everything conceivable to make him stay.

I say keep the team as is unless you can dump hedo somehow. Other than that hope for the shooters to get hot in the playoffs and see what happens. If it doesn't go well and diwght leaves you are in no further from a championship than if you make any of the supposed trades for dwight.

Would Minnesota trade Beasley and the Memphis Pick for Jason Richardson and Fran Vasquez?

It's... over

That was our last chance to keep Dwight happy imo (get Ellis)... sigh

It's time to move on and find either small upgrades to go into the playoffs with in order to win a championship... or... MOVE Dwight and get something back in return

fml... I'm getting depressed... and I'm angry at GS and their douche GM.

Its not the GM, its the owner. I bet managment approved this but Lacob is soo obsessed at getting Dwight, he wont do any deal. kinda sick if you think about it.

People shouldn't be hard on Rudolph, he was reporting what he was hearing, and he did break the fact that there are talks first. It isn't his fault the GSW owner is a douche.

If we're trading Dwight it better be for some good players and not a panic move to get anything back... otherwise we need to just play the season out and at least enjoy one last playoff run for a while.

do you really blame him for not taking our garbage, kaman, or often injured bogut? yeah it sucks but he is in the business to improve his team and not placate magic fans.

If that's the case then maybe we have a chance that their front office will be able to convince them to bite. Or maybe that's just the denial speaking

Trade Dwight & Turk for Josh Smith, Joe Johnson & Kirk Hinrich....

Then we meet ATL in the 1st round and whoop'em!... Revenge is sweet

I don't believe anything Cheese Berger has to say. I read his Q/A's all the time and he is completely opinionated going off of assumption with no facts or sources.

I can't even believe he puts in words like Representatives and Sources as if they are true. Because they are not. Some of his associates say the complete opposite.

He isn't. Rudolph is a fraud, and has never been a legit "source". People here are just so desperate for news, they'll believe anything anyone writes on Twitter.

That is the Best Pitch Martins can make right now without making trades to tack on more salary further crippling this team.

This is why I keep saying, nothing major will happen. This is all media and fans blowing rumors out of proportion to get attention.

if anything, we should make trades for expiring contracts. I'd crown Otis king if we could dump Nelson with Ryan for an expiring, like Boris Diaw. Tell Dwight to be patient for a few more months. Then sign Deron ourselves.

What?? Must be a typo or you're crazy.

He is no more legit than all the other ESPN reporters. They base their "Facts" off of sources with no names or no facts.

I think both organizations already reported both these rumors to be just that, rumors. People are just feeding off it making them seem legit.

Whatever, believe what you want, I don't care. but, he is legit. at least he seems legit. but rumors are not an easy thing to report, because if they don't come true, people like you will bash him for it......

I still think Ellis will be in a Magic uniform in a few days.
