It is sad that fans can't even be happy with the players we have now on the floor with what they accomplished the past week. I really wanted to celebrate the Bulls and Heat victory, but people just want to be negative and cry like babies while dreaming of making this team average.
This is the best team we have right here for years to come over any team post a hypothetical trades people have posted here.

Regardless of the outcome, it's been an amazing ride.

It'll definitely be an interesting next 24-28 hours. Ownership has a huge decision on their hands, and I'll be fine with which ever they go with.

Woj's latest tweets.
Dwight Howard doesn't see it, but will later: Van Gundy was the best thing to happen to his career. And, hey, Dwight was great for Stan too.
Stan Van Gundy did something w/ Dwight few coaches ever do with superstars now: In public/private, he challenged him. He dared to coach him.
Aren't they the f'n truth. But all we hear is about Stan being too negative.

How old are you man? It has nothing to do with crying and not being happy with the players on the floor. Learn to respect others opinions.
As for the Melo rumor... it comes from the New York Post. Enough said. RealGM shouldn't have even put it on the wiretap.

+1 The fight that this team has shown throughout the season, especially within the past week is great to see. Makes me proud as a fan. I have no sad feelings regardless of the outcome. With all the rumors swirling around this team for the whole season, to have the 4th best record in the NBA and 3rd best in the East is a testament to the professionalism and character of the guys on our team and coaching staff. If Dwight doesn't buy that, so be it.

OK this just hit me...
Alex Kennedy: Dwight Howard said the Magic have an opportunity to contend this year and he has made it clear that he wants finish the season in Orlando. Twitter
DWIGHT HOWARD SAID "the Magic have an opportunity to contend this year". Really? I thought you "just wanted to win" Dwight? If he thinks that THIS team can contend for a title (and our team could possibly be upgraded next year), then why not opt-in? At least that gives the organization a little more realistic time to bring in another star if that's what you want. In the meantime it would be the same team, which you yourself just said had "an opportunity to contend"...
It's because you would rather be in Brooklyn next year, you would rather be playing next to Deron, you would rather be making more endorsement $$$. And this is exactly why we think you are going to bolt in the summer. Because you yourself said this team is good enough to contend, and yet you aren't willing to opt-in for even one more year with it. That says something.

I just want Stan to stay at the end of all this.
Whether Dwight leaves or not, Stan deserves to be the coach of this team. We might lose a franchise player, let's not let a franchise coach go as well.

get dwight out of here while we still have a chance. deal him to NJ where he wants to be and send turk with him. We can pile up on young talent and have a couple 1st round picks to look forward to this summer. clear out as much cap as possible and tank for a top 5 pick in the 13 draft. by then we will have a young core of players and room for free agents. Keep SVG he has made me a believer this season.
ROLL THE DICE DWIGHT U SERIOUS!?

It's not being negative, it's being realistic ..
The writing is on the wall,
Dwight WILL sign with the Nets as a FA. And that will result in our team losing another superstar without getting anything in return.
All year long we've been talking about the great seasons JJ & Ryan are having, so we all know this could be the best team we've had in years. But tell that to Dwight, cause apparently it's still not good enough for him.
Will we all cry like babies when he leaves? Absolutely not. We would all be worried about the future of this team cause we'd have a bad pick & still be in cap hell. I won't care about Dwight, only about this team. If he's part of the team, i'll care about him too.

Yea and a couple days ago you were willing to trade the team for Monta Ellis so that it could keep Dwight, even if it meant getting worse as a team. But now you are against getting worse.
