Nice for the Nuggets.

They get both players for a future 2nd rd pick, or a 2nd rd pick per player ?

Just a 2nd rd pick it looks like.

Holy F*** ! WTF ? I would have done that trade all day. I would take either of those wing players.

Really slow news day. I feel like my twitter and rss have come to a complete hault. Nothing is showing up.

I saw that last night. He brought back the mask. Good stuff. I heard those mysterious videos with the creepy kids are not Undertaker, but instead for a returning Jericho. Weird.

Yesterday was pretty slow too other than in the morning it was nice to see some progression with Howard...

Cuban is setting a pretty good example of how it's done, and really highlighting to Dwight how piss poor our FO is.

Mavs looking to have a good chunk of capspace in the summer and could offer Dwight AND Deron smaller contracts, but the option to team up with Dirk on a recent championship team.

Dwight
Dirk
Marion
whoever
Deron

they may take less money, but who wouldn't for the chance to make that superteam?

compared to:

Dwight
BBD
Hedo
JRich
Nelson

choo chooooooo.....

That was the best news. The tweet from Alex Kennedy saying after (Dwight's) meeting with Alex Martins, he feels much better about the change in culture in Orlando. And that Alex is going to make the change happen.

Not word for word, but something like that.

I don't think it was a coincidence that Otis Smith was quiet all day yesterday and today, while Alex has been very vocal and public. I think Otis is in the backroom trying to come up with some good deals... or so I would hope.

Jamal Crawford is weighing offers from Portland, Sacramento and New York, multiple sources confirm. Don't expect a decision tonight.

Dallas couldn't afford both Howard and Williams. Either way, Howard is going to need our help to get a true max deal, which sounds like, we won't be willing to do unless it is with us.

Also did Howard play his hand way to early, saying he would only sign an extension with 4 teams, the Magic being one of them? I mean only 1 of those teams will be under the cap enough to sign him out right, while the Mavs and Lakers would have to do some work (Mavs not as much as the Lakers). Of course the Magic can sign Howard outright since we own his Bird Rights and he will get the most money signing with us.

SF from marquette- he can defend and he has decent range, but he's still pretty raw- looks like he'll get spot minutes behind KD and even behind cook- pretty good pickup

I feel every other deal/signing (Crawford, Mayo, West, etc.) has fallen through... probably a byproduct of every GM waiting to see what happens to CP3

I hope any Dwight rally isn't a lame as that song the people of Cleveland made a while back. A rally of any type would be, umm, interesting.

MisterRudolph Jarrod N Rudolph
Seems like a group of Magic fans are planning a rally of some type, is this true?
