Question about the new renegotiating contract rule. Can we do a S&T with Hedo while doing the renegotiating to extend years and lower this years amount to make it easier to get rid of Hedo? That said, what team would want him? Also, can we do a S&T and another team amnesty Hedo as their team's amnesty?

Can't extend contracts that were on the team before the new CBA. Only contracts made after CBA.

Can't amnesty a player received in a trade. Only possible to amnesty a player you had when new CBA was made.

LOL, I forgot that!! I think he liked Brandon, but hated the idea that he just wouldn't pass the ball, not even by accident!

Take from it what you will.

From John Denton of Magic.com: CEO Alex Martins … did say that the Magic planned to investigate ESPN reports that multiple NBA teams met with Howard Thursday night in Miami about his future with the Magic. At this time, Martins said there is no concrete evidence to prove that tampering occurred. If a team is determined to have tampered with a player under contract they would be at the mercy of NBA Commissioner David Stern. Stern has taken such matters in the past very seriously and he would likely impose serious penalties. Such punishment could include fines, loss of draft picks or denying the team the right to sign the player in the future. … Martins reiterated his desire to keep Howard in Orlando long term. “Everything that we’ve heard from Dwight this week wouldn’t indicate (that he wants to leave). He’s told us that he loves Orlando and that he wants to be here,’’ Martins said. “Those conversations continue. We’re not going to talk about the specifics and all of the exchanges, but everything we’ve heard is that he loves it here and wants to be here. We’ll take him at his word.’’

I don't think there is a person Dwight doesn't like off the court, but on the court, yeah I got that feeling too.

duhh,Otis's fantasy football team is in crunch-time. I mean Colt McCoy went down, so he has to scramble to replace his first string QB! T.J Yates just stepped on the scene, and the waiver wire is a crapshoot.

He doesnt have time to do silly things like his job....

More rumors

Howard had a meeting scheduled with Orlando Magic CEO Alex Martins mid-week, but canceled it at the last minute, a league source told Yahoo! Sports. Orlando was trying to smooth over a bizarre phone incident involving retired CEO Bob Vander Weide, who was reportedly trying to gauge where Howard stood on his future intentions with the Magic. Howard had privately told people for several weeks that his two preferred destinations were the Los Angeles Lakers and Nets, sources said. “He’s been waffling back and forth, even this week,” one source said. If found to have had the meeting with Howard, the Nets could face stiff fines, a loss of draft picks and perhaps even lose the right to sign him as a free agent next summer or trade for him.

Also, this is important:

Window to amnesty players is Dec. 9 (today) thru Dec. 16. Trade deadline is March 15. … One more note for when games actually start: From Dec. 25-Feb. 6, NBA teams allowed to dress/play 13 guys per game, one more than usual 12.

I get the feeling everyone is waiting to see where the CP issue stands. Hopefully, for our sanity, things don't drag out until next Thursday.
