I'm still holding hope for J-Rich, Anderson, Nelson to the GSW for Monta and Beidrens.

Whats up peeps. I see Dwight is not traded yet. Busy as hell day for me with much success with our clients. Thus, kept my mind off all the crazy Dwight crap. Heck, I am even working late again. Now, I have to go do some side work then out to gators for beer, wings and pool. Then, I will be in Detroit for vacation.

I wonder what will happen with Dwight during this time. But I am going to take a break because there is so much other things to do now. Too bad you guys can't just text me updates. -BMP

Pick up Billups, Re-sign J Rich, trade Nelson and Ryno for a defensive wing. Question is what wing could we get for Nelson and Ryno ?

Billups/Du Du
J Rich/Redick/Liggins
Def wing/Hedo
BBD/Harper
Dwight/Clark/Orton

Yea/Nay ?

lol thats not gonna make him stay

Ah, ok.

So, if they trade for expirings/release/amnesty/renounce everyone on their roster apart from Williams, Nene, and Morrow (who would be attractive for Dwight) they would have roughly $42m in committed salary or holds - still enough to go after Dwight as a FA.

Something will probably break when you're on your flight and out of contact.

Yeah, I figured they'd be able to offer 15 mil.

All we gotta do is change the name to the Orlando Lakers and anyone will take our garbage for superstars

Dallas, who are apparently on Dwight's list, are doing all they can to be majorly under the cap next summer - they are still a huge threat.

I don't see Dwight wanting to go there even though they are on his "list" that team would be gutted with the exception of Dirk

With Chris Paul could the Lakers sign Dwight? or does it have to be a trade there

Why won't Howard just come out and say what he wants instead of being a sl**? This waiting is killing me!

I think he is waiting for the dust to settle.

Could the Magic be after Crawford with the MLE? The other teams after him besides us were the Hornets and the Bulls. The Bulls seem to be close to signing Rip Hamilton and I do not see the Hornets going after him if they get Martin. The Hawks just took on T-Mac so they have no need for him.

Looks like former @FSU_MBasketball player Von Wafer has been traded to the Magic by the Celtics as part of Brandon Bass-Glen Davis deal.

So Wafer was part of the BBD/Bass trade ?

I don't think he knows where he wants to go. I just think he's trying to figure things out.

Maybe he doesn't know what he wants? Nearly every media source that has commented on it has talked about him being conflicted. If he says "I am going to stay in Orlando" (or vice versa) then changes his mind, he is going to get slaughtered. It's better for him to say "I'm going to opt-out and test free agency" (which he has said in the past), and then refuse to comment on rumours.

Yes...I feel like quite a few posters aren't aware of that b/c Vafer's signing came like 5 hours after the BBD trade.

Ok so if they will have about 15 mil to offer Dwight that is how much less than we can offer? and is that figure taking in consideration Nene's contract figure next year or this year? because the contract usually goes up in price each year
