SVG would like to see of Earl Clark can come off the bench and defend opponents' top wing scorers, like LeBron & Joe Johnson.

That's great news. It means that Stan wants him to be a SF instead of PF.

shame EC couldn't be in camp from the start. He'd easily battle for starting SF, but he's def in the rotation this year.

Wafer
Liggins
QRich

better have some nice suits.

dont be fooled its more than just winning, if hes demanding a trade to the nets that team is gonna be gutted and it will take 3 years to fill out the roster and actually be serious contenders, he could just stay in orlando and wait a year or 2 and sign whoever is available and have a team with depth

Every superstar has teamed up (Wade,Bron,Bosh/Kobe,Gasol,Bynum/Amare,Stat/CP3,Blake/Durant,Westbrook/etc...) Dwight and Deron are the only stars left without another star to play with.That why Dwight wants the Nets him and Dwill can team up in Brooklyn.Nobody wants to be left alone and Dwight is trying to take advantage while he can so just get over it and move on.

That's the thing though is it about winning? Or does he just want to be in a bigger city/market? I wonder what would happen if by the deadline we are one of the best teams...does he still leave?

Yeah he wants the bigger market to,if he goes to Brooklyn he would be the face of the franchise not to mention he can become a global icon if he wins a championship in NewYork,also more endorsements off the court=more money,also he gets to play with another superstar Dwill.

I'm excited to see what Clark can do. He has a very high ceiling.

So as the roster stands right now:

Nelson/Hughes/Duhon/Pruitt*
J-Rich/Redick/Wafer/Liggins**
Hedo/Clark/Q-Rich
Davis/Anderson/Harper**
Howard/Orton/???

*= will most likely be cut
**= won't see minutes (SVG's preference w/ rookies)
???= back-up C

Earl Clark return to Magic is immanent... Could play 3 and 4 positions. Might even play Sunday in Miami.

Right now, the 3 guys in the wing rotation are Hedo, J-Rich and Redick. All others are fighting for playing time.

@DwightHoward is the last player on the court, like usual. Working on free throws. SVG says Howard's FTs are improved.

Yay, just in time to hit them against us.

How much more Bigger can Dwight get though i mean imo it would be marginal at best...He had the MOST votes EVER in the All-Star game and he got those votes right here in Orlando...He is Huge in China from what a pen pal tells me not on Kobe's level but he's up there...Big in India and Africa as well..Dwight is already internationally known but i don't know man maybe being in NY will put him on a bigger platform...But imo if he wanted to be an actor BE AN ACTOR he's a ball-player man though that is from my perspective and i couldn't really fully understand Dwight because i'm not in his shoes

It looks more and more that way. If it were about winning he would have more teams he would be willing to go to. The nets will be in no position to win quickly after the trade, they will need more that Dwill and Dwight.

Hopefully in general we'll see more players slashing to the basket this year.
