But they won't get Dwight, so Deron should save himself the hassle and come to Orlando now.

If this is true, it's only going to deteriorate the relationship between Dwight and the Magic FO.

Thank you captain obvious.

Magic didn't like any offers, including 3-teamer w/ NJ and Blazers reported earlier. Goal is to keep D12 in Orlando as long as possible.

Alright man, even though its easier fro Dwight to come to Nets than it is for Deron to go Orlando.

I'd be interested to know exactly when that league source quote was from - the paragraph preceding it was talking in the past tense about his trade request, which was last week. I wonder if that quote was also from that time, but inserted in such a way as to suggest he was unhappy about today's news (which of course he might well be, but I am suspicious of journalists and un-named sources).

Not necessarily , Deron just has to request a trade to Orlando.

Really? Easier?... Howard and his life is embedded/attached in the city of Orlando... Deron just got to the Nets after a fly by night trade last season... I think it'd be easier for Deron to come to Orlando than it would be for Dwight to leave and go to the Nets

Oh, I guess you meant CBA-wise it'd be easier... correct?... well don't underestimate the cap clearing plan Orlando is undertaking... do the math on hoopsworld... it's not exactly impossible to re-sign Howard and sign D-Will, if all the right moves are made

Watching Dwight's interview after the practice ( http://www.nba.com/magic/video/2011/12/ ... index.html )

Man, he has really been in an upbeat mood in the last 2 days. Today he was singing, joking around, he called Chris Broussard "Jesus' lil brother" again lol.

OMG! Dwight is wearing a Phillys hat! He's going to Philadelphia!!!
