I have a feeling the next move is our MLE for a player like Crawford. With Arenas out we need 6th man and insurance from a Nelson injury.

He still says Howard met with Prokhorov in Miami, even though he spoke with Howard today and he denied it... but multiple sources kept telling Chris the meeting meant down

He's bringing up some interesting scenarios with the tampering charges

What were the scenarios?

Lol. Whoever told Broussard this is suspect, but he can't reveal his source or he will never be told info again. So the magic basis for the tampering charge was tv reports, which are usually bogus and against us. Now, in what seemed like an effort to cause division in the magic camp, is now being used by the magic fo to delay or nix a trade to NJ.
OR
They know something and are using it as leverage with Dwight, his agent, and/or NJ. I wish i could figure this stuff out. When will the media be able to talk to the players. No one has a quote from Dwight directly. I wanna see this and peep his body language and tone. ugh.

Boo.
