None of us know yet. News should break about what Dwight's intentions along with the team's intentions hopefully tomorrow or at least by the time free agency starts on Friday.

Well, these 2 look like our legit sources going forward so i'm pretty pumped to see what this "noise" will actually be. It's probably not details to deals, but what Otis' intentions are as who he we may be pursuing, or what's been discussed (hopefully). Nonetheless, going to be pretty fun between tmrw and Friday.

On a sidenote, I miss John Denton when he was with Florida Today. He'd report everything Magic before anyone else got the chance.

Hate these vague tweets... could mean anything

But deep down inside I'm hoping it means Otis pulls off a miracle

Conspiracy time.

Dwights people are feeding the local guys BS about him wanting to stay, by presenting Otis Smith with an almost impossible scenario....trading for PAUL/ELLIS etc. Dwights essentially trying to make himself look good on his way out of town so people don't hate him, by feeding the media, and Otis this scenario.

Think about it, can we really get either? It's Dwights way of asking for a trade.

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

I usually don't like to make assumptions unless I have reasonable doubt but I think you may be dead on.

No seriously though, that makes a lot of sense now that I think about it.

Things could be worse guys... We could be in Philly and have to face seeing one of these things as our new mascot.

Zach McCann said something similar earlier. Definitely makes sense. Dwight isn't the kind of guy to straight up demand a trade.

That being said, I wouldn't worry myself too much over it quite yet.

It didn't hit me until the fact that Dwight and the Magic brass had a long meeting, NO Leaks. Nobody coming out saying it went well.

It just seems like Dwight wants an impossible reason to stay. But I would bet you guys he saw that Chris Paul billboard the fans put up the fans of this team are doing all they can to keep him and they deserve props

But If you are the Hornets, and you got Boston offering Rondo, without having to have Paul signed...Nothing can top that not from us, not from anyone else. They have to take that trade
