If Dwight Howard re-signs with ORL, got to think Magic will have agreed to GM Dwight's trade ideas. Starting w/ Otis Smith for Sam Presti.

We could never be so lucky! :lol:

I for one hope Otis is making a call about Brewer. I think he's the type of defensive piece we are missing from being a championship contender.

I think a lineup of: Dwight/BBD/Brewer/Jrich/Nelson could be great!

It has been discussed but Brewer is awful!!! Dude couldnt even get minutes in Sota. Fernandez on the other had would be a very nice piece

Fernandez is garbage on Defense! We dont need any more offensive firepower. We need a defensive stopper for the Joe Johnson, Dwade, Carmelo's of the world we'll face in the playoffs. I think Corey would be a great addition. He can also slash!

Have you watched Brewer play since college?! He isnt stopping anyone, nor is he hitting a shot. I liked him at UF but he weighs about 100 lbs and is a liability on the court. Fernandez > JJ/Q. If you can get Rudy you dump both of those guys for a defensive wing.

There was some talk. But I have heard they don't love Paul George. If he breaks out this year then I say they definitely look to shed Granger's salary. They do not have an owner committed to spending big money and will not pay 2 sf's top $

Damn collison, mayo, granger, west, hibbert is a very talented lineup. Nor sure how they play together but nice work

I like this guy Alex. Someone has to cater to Dwight. I'm glad this guy is here. If Dwight stay, get this guy a trophy. If not, a certificate for effort.

This is the type of stuff Otis should have been saying all along.

Werd, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Pacers compete again...

Now if you were to offer Larry Bird a couple white players....................

We should keep Dwight until at least after the allstar game. Who knows, this team could mesh and look completely different than last year. Plus, there's the possibility that we'll get another piece soon. Time could heal all!

Alex Martins: "I do believe that Dwight will re-sign with this organization.. I truly believe that." #MagicMediaDay

Some good news. Alex has been with the Magic since the early days. He knows what's going on and looks like he's gonna play good cop here.

wow...first West,now Mayo. Orlando might be so focused on Dwight,their falling asleep on good deals.

Rush & McRoberts? JJ & Anderson are a way better deal.

If we are operating under the assumption that with ATL's beat-down of Orlando last year makes them a better team then our Magic as constructed are a possible 6 seed in the East.

Miami
Chicago
NYK
Pacers.....I like their 10 man rotation a lot! (dont forget Posey, Foster, and D. Jones)
Hawks
Magic

not giving me much faith Orlando has what it takes to keep D12
