Is that you too? Him and I are going at it to.

i am arguing with one of the guys that says the trade is amazing. he told me its great for the magic because we are getting an allstar. I told him why would we want a bunch of 30 something players. He said let them expire then. I told him then we'll let dwight walk if we wanted to do that.

He's all about getting cap space one the players we acquire are moved or expire. What is the point of that? Just let Dwight walk or send him to NJ for expiring Lopez and 2 picks. He's an idiot.

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.

why isn't otis holding a press conference to clear up the "rumors" about him confirming he is allowing dwight to talk to other teams? WHY!? WHO CARES WHAT DWIGHT CAN DO WITH OTHER TEAMS AND WHO CARES WHERE HE WANTS TO GO...WE NEED TO TALK TO OTHER TEAMS AND GET A GOOD DEAL. WHY "LET" DWIGHT TALK TO OTHER TEAMS? JUST SAY HEY OK, FIND A TEAM YOU LIKE AND WE'LL GET YOU THERE? F THAT
I got a question why they hating on me....

Did BVW know? Is this why he called Dwight on that henn? They have to be selling to be getting all these cheepie players.

I wonder if he is taking Meer with him.

Best we can hope for is rope in a 3rd team to add a couple more young pieces and or picks.

At this point I think best case Orlando and NJ find a 3rd team to take players like Nelson, Anderson, Duhon, Q Rich and JJ while sending back prospects and picks

Get as many picks in this draft as possible!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guise........did you forget that the All Star game is in Orlando this season? And we will have absolutely nobody from our team participating in it? And Dwight will be representing a different team in **** Orlando? I mean, you can't make this **** up. What a nightmare.

I love quoting myself, but this is the best summary of the moment for right now. Something is definitely wrong here guys.

If there's absolutely no shot at keep Dwight, it kills me to say it and I didn't think I would--but go ahead and bite the bullet. Trade him now and do whatever you can to tank. This upcoming draft should net us a very good-great player. But if there's even a small shot at keeping Dwight...don't do it.
Oh, and I'm not happy with Dwight, but I wouldn't put him in the same boat as Shaq. Dwight did sign one extension with us, Shaq didn't and this roster we have now is pitiful compared to the one we had when Shaq was here. He went to a worse team in the Lakers. Sure it worked out for him, but he probably would have won a title here quicker. As of now, not sure you could say that with wherever Dwight goes.

Forgot all about it, that would be the ultimate slap in the face... Can you imagine the backlash? Do you really think Dwight is that mentally strong to handle it?
