Sounds like everyone is really impressing Dwight in practice. Thank you Magic management for not being so stubborn, sounds like they're improving relationship w/ Dwight. CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDERS BABY!!!

Hearing Magic have broken off Dwight Howard trade talks...


Guess he reads twitter too...


Followed him, stopped following him, started following again, stopped following him again. I want to believe he has useful input, but he doesn't. Plus he whines and seeks validation with some of his tweets. Pooopooo on that.

now can we start pushing some rumours about how Dwight expects a successful season and he's going to recruit Deron to come here in the summer?

we can start preparing our Jameer for Deron proposals... maybe we can even get them GWallace?

:wink:

It is really starting to take a toll on me when I log into this site, read updates 20 + times a day for us to have trade talks with DH, to no trade talks because he may stay, to trade talks, to staying...

Can we just get a damn answer one way or the other? LOL

I was just thinking that. Oh well we've all had our fair share of letdowns so far.

I feel the same way. I wouldn't rule out the idea of Orlando having a deal to bring help in the pipeline, but I think it more likely that we have told New Jersey et al that their offers are nowhere near good enough for us to even consider them.

Doesn't mean talks may not re-open soon (and by soon, I mean tomorrow - there's a chance, depending on how desperate Dwight's suitors are, that they come back with significantly improved offers very soon).
