Then we see where Dwight stands at the deadline.. That's a tough lineup.

+1. I have been on the get S. Jax train for about 2 years now. And hes an x Warrior so I have no idea why Otis hasnt pulled the trigger yet

Any chance we can trade Hedo back to PHX for Gortat? :rofl:

He's talented but injury wise he just has that Oden feel.

So anyone here willing to admit their mind would sh*t bricks if Daniel Orton averaged 15/10 his rookie season? lol

15 minutes/10 Turnovers?

I could see that...

As reported Fri, union told Stern it will pursue litigation if no suitable CP trade made by Monday. Claim could be collusion, sources say

My heart skips a beat when I load the Realgm homepage... I know its pretty much destined to happen, but when it officially says "Magic Trade Dwight Howard".. It will be a sad, sad day.. No matter who we get back..

Farewell Dwight, we've beaten Lebron, We've beaten the Celts and we've watched you grow into the best player in the league over the last 7 years.. Goodluck elsewhere...

I refuse to believe Dwight is 100% sure he wants out. Push hard to get him the help he needs. If we make the ECF or Finals, I doubt he leaves (especially if a few other changes happen like a promise SVG will be let go if that is what he wants).

Yep. Going to be one of the worst days in franchise history.

Honestly, it sounds like all he wanted was to be heard.......might be too late now, though.

I refuse to sit around and mope about this. Hell yes I will miss Dwight, we all will. But it's still Magic for life.

ESPN 1040 guy (Kyler I think) spoke the truth!!! Fire Otis. Let Dwight have a voice, don't go on record as saying Dwight will have no say like Otis did. Bring in Josh Smith if that is what Dwight wants.

I'm going to say it even though I love all of the money he spends...

Rich Devos sucks as an owner. He is not involved and the people he entrusts with his franchise are a joke. I never want him to sell but I do want him to hire someone just to fire Otis.

Orlando should do the Gasol/Bynum trade with Gasol going to Houston, then grab Granger for KMart. Why Indy would do this? They need to give PT to their young stud George, and have horrible SGs.

Orlando trades: Howard/Turk
Orlando receives: Bynum/Scola/Granger/LA 1st rounder/Dal 1st rounder

LA trades: Gasol/Bynum/LA 1st rounder/Dal 1st rounder
LA receives: Howard/Turk

Hou trades: Scola/KMart/1st round pick
Hou receives: Gasol

Indy trades: Granger
Indy receives: KMart/Hou 1st round pick

Orlando's new starting lineup:

C. Bynum
PF. Scola
SF. Granger
SG. J. Rich
PG. Nelson

Since the Lakers have pulled out of the CP3 deal maybe we can slip in there . Aren't many teams willing to trade for him without assurance he will sign long term . We may have the best offer of the teams that are left pursuing .

!00% feel the exact same way. DeVos needs to be held accountable by people for who he has put in charge of his franchise.

We have the same problem as the lakers. Our Young players on rookie deals dont have star appeal (Orton, Anderson, Harper, Liggens). Our established Vets are ok but dont add value to the team and the league is trying to sell them ASAP. The picks we could give them would be end of the first round with Paul here.

Exactly. We have to try to get CP3 without trading Dwight. Orlando is probably one of his best options to play for a contender now. Knicks & LA are out of the running, LAC and GSW are two perennial losing franchises. Who else is left?
We have to try everything we can now before trading Dwight, seeing that the Hornets' options are dwindling.
