As I was saying in the other thread

Yup. **** him, he's mad he wasn't traded. He doesn't care what this franchise gets in return and the future of the franchise or city. He clearly wants to get out of here, I say we let him walk so he can lose money and a season. Reading that article has me pissed off.

I really can't believe Otis was about to take that deal. Wow. I'm a mixture of depressed/angry/frustrated. I hate it.

Anyone on PS3 with 2k12?

Are we sure he requested to be traded again this week? Cause he told them last Wednesday he wanted to be traded. Not sure if they've just used the same days.

Not only would it be a just awful trade but it would make us a just below 500 team so we wouldnt even get a good draft pick from anythin

From the end of the other thread... Yahoo had a typo in their recent article about Dwight.

More from Yahoo! article: With the framework of a deal in place, talks had reached the ownership level in Orlando, league sources said. Nevertheless, Magic ownership did not approve of the trade, and general manager Otis Smith then informed teams Howard had been removed from the market.

Howard has warned the Magic if they don’t move him by the March 15 trade deadline, they’ll lose him for nothing in free agency. Howard told the Magic again on Wednesday that he wanted a trade, a league source said.

“Dwight’s not a happy camper,” one league source told Y! Sports


This is pretty bad. If true, Dwight really has made up his mind. Also, looks like Otis was ready to do another bad deal and "ownership" stopped it.

I just checked the article... they changed the day from Wednesday to Tuesday.... http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=A ... ets_121411
