Dwight won't tell Magic to trade him. He's a non-confrontational guy who's ultra-conscious of his public image.

Basically ball is in Otis's court. Fix the roster or Dwight leaves. Man, if that is the case, Otis is lucky to have gotten so many second chances.

Why would he have to really demand a trade? It's sort of a win-win for Dwight. He doesn't have to really demand a trade.

1) It would hurt his public image
2) There are going to be numerous teams (including prob NJ and/or Clips) with room to sign him in situation he wants to be in
3) There's always still the option of sign-and-trade next summer
4) The onus is on the Magic now instead of him

I don't see Otis trading for a superstar, so hopefully it's more of Otis telling Dwight that he will clear up cap space for him to hand pick his point guard. And hopefully Dwight's okay with the plan.

Dwight sits in his chair, arms folded, face passive, staring straight at Otis. Otis looks stressed. His tie is undone, his top button opened. The sleeves are rolled up and he is perspiring heavily, beads of sweat on his forehead and expanding damp shadows beneath his arms and on his back.

Otis leans forward. "Dwight, we're working on it, i swear!"

Otis turns and smashes on his intercom. "Any updates?"

Receptionist squeaks nervously through the speaker "uhh.... they said no deal..."

Otis takes a deep breath, trying to calm his anger and keep his compsure. "Get them on the phone... now!"

Otis turns to Dwight and his agent nervously. "We'll get this sorted"

Receptionist squeaks back through, "they're on the line Mr Smith"

Otis changes the line on his phone. "Hello?"

A rough, random voice answers. "Yeah, look, Otis, I told you I can't do that"

Otis speaks through gritted teeth. "All we want is a half meat lovers, half pepperoni and a pepsi for $10.... I KNOW you can do that!"

Random voice answers. "No half and halfs on the lunch deal. I'm sorry, it's no deal.... I can do the Hedo special for you though?"

He's just getting that from Dwight's interview this summer. Yes, Dwight named Morrow... that's when people started freaking out about the nets.

Dwight really did say that. In an interview over the summer. 5 players, and the list included Morrow, which led many, including myself, to think he was going to NJ.

almost 4 and a half hours without news breaking is ridiculous

I'm not sure I'm expecting news on Dwight's plans, I'm just expecting them to report the meeting is over. I'm under the impression people are there waiting.

How much Otis likes this team, obviously.

It wouldnt suprise me if Dwight is gone and the meeting is over already, nobody even knew dwight was having a meeting with otis until like 2 hours into it so i could see him sliding out the back door so he wouldnt have to deal with the media
