Thank you.

And I say again, if you are going to be mad at anyone be mad at Rudolph he's definitely was strategic in his timing releasing this. This has been old news to him, he's reported knowing something about this like over half a year ago.

What SVG said was true.

How, when , where, why, and to who SVG said it too is the mystery.

This stuff should be kept within team circles, but unfortunately someone spilled the beans.

No one ever questions Howard's effort game in and game out, but his maturity on the court often times becomes his nemesis

If you don't believe me:
MisterRudolph Jarrod N Rudolph
Had pieces for a while, was able to confirm a few things today.


It's good reporting by him. He's doing his job well. But it sucks for us. And I suppose he wanted to wait to confirm his source...

SVG is right.

So I guess most of you would rather kiss dwigh'ts ass? Look what that got Cleveland.

MagicFan41 wrote:Supposedly Clippers and GSW are on the top of the Hornets trade list if either one signs Chandler - to me that seems to be more likely to be GSW. That team would then have CP3, Ellis, Dorell Wright, David Lee, Chandler. That's a pretty nasty team right there. That's TWO guys that Dwight would want to be playing with right there, in a big market, with great fans. I wouldn't be shocked if that happens that Dwight pushes for a trade there (although the pieces we would ask back for would prob be Ellis/Chandler).

If the Clippers end up landing CP3, and don't have to give up Eric Gordon...that now leaves the Clippers with CP3 and cap room next year, and NJ with Deron and cap room next year.......ugh.


If I were in magic I'd be on the phone with chandlers agent and tell him we want to help him get paid... Tell him he should keep his price way high and that we want to do an s/t with GSW for biedrens/Ellis so that they can afford him. and pray clippers offer hornets a better deal for Paul then GSW can.

Jrich, jj, Fran rights/Harper/whatever he'll flip bass and Nelson for an asset do something

Exactly. SVG spoke the truth and Dwight isn't going to like this.

It's looking like everyone is trying to get 'their story' out there so that when Dwight does leave and everything blows up, nobody wants to look like the bad guy.

What more do you guys need??? We need to jump on that clippers deal ASAP if Dwight hasn't confirmed that he's staying.


What did Nick Anderson say? I missed that.

Anybody want to fill me in?

If I'm Otis, unless something was spoken about between him and Dwight that we do not know, I call up the Clipps now and beat NO to the punch.

The team is pretty much falling apart.

You know what really sucks? We're following the same path as the Cavs: Cleaning house in an effort to appease Dwight.

What would we get from the Clippers? If Gordon isn't involved, I say no.

Here's a bit of it
“I would like Dwight to speak up more,” Anderson said. “Leaders should speak up and take the good along with the bad. They say, ‘Be a man about it.’ Speak up. If there is something that needs to change (on the Magic) or some kind of players you’re interested in (having Orlando obtain), speak up.

“Superstars, they’re accountable for the good and the bad. Some people can handle that when everything is great but when rough times come about, they go and hide… Speak up. What are you scared of?”

You guys are crazy. So, you ask me to spill and get mad at what's in the cup. Can't have it both ways, Magic fans. BTW, I'm a Knicks fan.

I'm telling you guys. He's been planning the timing of the release of this.... He's had this article ready for months.. Sneaky good reporting on his side, especialy because he's a knicks fan. But man it irks me
