If the offers now are no good, what does it matter? If they trade him later, they'll still get something in return. Varying shades of things not equal to Dwight.

If you guys keep Dwight, you might not be able to tank as well in a really deep draft. then again, picking 4-10 in this years draft could be equivalent to picking 1-3 in last years.

I don't know what to believe anymore. Until we make a trade of any sort, I'd look at all these rumors with the utmost skepticism.

i think dwight is gone fellas. after watching the interviews he says "im here right now" and doesn't seem enthusiastic at all. I think the clippers would give up gordon+jordan+minnys 1st. hell they almost gave up that much for paul. I know jordan is now overpaid but at least he won't be walking away anytime soon (bynum, lopez). Plus the thought of brook lopez in a magic uniform makes me sick.

i just know if we bring in wallace that otis would give him a 4 year 50 million deal.

Yea, this draft is supposed to be a deep one, and the most talented class in years. That is why its a good idea for Orlando to tank the season if they know Dwight is leaving one way or the other (which seems to be the case).

Rudolph Summary on 740..

- You can't trade the most dominate center of this era and get better.
- Nets don't have anymore more leverage to get Dwight than we do to get Derron, there's NO reason to bow down to them.
- Change the mentality of this team, put billboards up, change the philosophy and show we EXPECT to win, show everyone this is Dwight city and during games chant MVP louder than the P.A Announcer.
- Let Dwight be more apart of the F.O, not let him make trades but let him feel involved.
