Cleveland thought they were Lebron's first option too.

Dwight no smart. that's the summary...

But seriously, Dwight didn't know what waiving the ETO meant apparently...


is it 100% confirmed? No way back for sure?

No way back? Have you noticed we are talking about D12, right?

Should have made that Ellis trade.... Atleast we could tank with fastbreak points.

I guess he could reverse thought again, but it has been confirmed by Orlando officials, that Dwight told them he will not waive his ETO.

He said it in a pre-game interview apparently. so, it looks like this is absolutely his last game in a Magic uniform.

Jeez, Jersey really is having a tough year. Has it really come to that?


Yep. Since we signed him, he's been great. Kid looks hungry, and he can actually play. I thought he was just a dunker, but clearly, he can do much more. Very quick, has a good jumper, and can jump out of the gym. There is no doubt he will be in the league as a regular from now on. I think the Nets will sign him once this 10 day is up, just like what they did with Gaines last year.

Just an assumption here but you gotta believe Alex Martin will try something with Dwight tonight. Talk to him one on one about Opting In and what it means personally. I just can't see them trading him off without one more attempt to convince him seeing him like this.

Where is J-Rich? I am in Portland and they have no idea where Crawford is going but they are convinced he's been traded. For about 8 hours they've said he's traded but they don't know where. I'm hearing 3-way with Lakers and Minny, but also just a 2-way with LA.

I'm starting to pull for a Hou deal per one of those Woj/Berger tweets about them dealing for Dwight. It's straight up like the "Denver model" because we will get legit pieces like Lowry, CLee, Morris and we will not pay any max type money for a big man like Bynum or Lopez so soon. We would prolly draft our new bigs instead of taking on the downsides of these centers like Bynum, Lopez which gives us money on max deals before having to extend our drafted bigs.

Boy oh boy, Cleveland fans thought they got shafted.

At least LeBron didn't tell them he was staying, then change his mind 4 hours later.

We should hire D'antoni to be Stan's offensive coordinator.
