Official Speculation & Free Agency Thread (Part VIII)

Its been so SLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO UPDATES?????????

dwight still hasn't seen the light and despite his "i'm all about winning" "i wanna win now" rants, refuses to consider a trade to chicago where we can conceivably accept a package of

noah+gibson+deng+asik+rights to mirotic for dwight+hedo+duhon+baby/ryno

personally, that's the package i want the most- we can then comfortably tank the season and have a great young core moving forward

dwight will team up with d.rose (because as simmons says, dwight has alpha talent with sidekick mentality- i used to hesitate about this but now... i think we all see the light) and thibodeau and go on to win at least 3 rings in chicago and have a great rivalry with the thunder while preventing lebron from ever winning a ring

i'd be okay with this

Something tells me this thread should die at 8......the only news that has come out of this is....

-Dwight wants to leave

-Dwight may want to stay if culture changes

-Dwight says nothing has changed from about statements

-Trade for Big Baby and Wafer

-Sign Earl Clark

-Everyone hates JRudolph

-End Thread/

[magicfan4life88]

We need to use our tpe, word is we still have the 1.8 n it makes sense that big baby culdnt do anything til wafers papers came thru, why would that have mattered if its supposed to be a seperate trade??? Any way kyler says we still have it on twitter and says it expires today but shouldn't it expire Sunday to make it a complete year??? Anyway here to hoping we do sumthing significant with them

so what's the trade package you'd rather have then?

mirotic won't come over until 2013 or 2014 - but unlike fran, he IS gonna come over and he's an all star in the making-

noah-gibson-deng are all young and are gonna be the best defensive frontcourt in basketball with asik off the bench as the PF/C back up - good luck scoring in the paint people

spread the court with our 2012 draft pick (jeremy lamb? austin rivers?) and jj redick- better than accepting pau/bynum then flipping one of them for more players considering teams won't give up young assets for either of them-

if the future is all about the front court mixed with an all star guard- this move will shore up the front court for the next half a dozen years while we wait for the all star guard (again, it COULD be rivers) - i'll take this over bynum's shaky knees or the package the nets offer - a 30 year old, concussion riddled forward and a soft (but skilled) 7 footer

Any advice for the Orlando Magic who are going through the same thing you are now?

“It’s funny I talked to the general manager, Otis Smith, and he’s a great guy. I think Otis Smith will come out of this smelling like a rose. It’s tough. These are franchise changing decisions and if you don’t have a situation where you feel like you are going to put your franchise in the best shape there’s no timeline. There is the trade deadline timeline, but there’s no rush to do it right now.”

Just read alex kennedy's chat on hoopsworld today and saw a question asking if maybe dwight is tired of jameer as he's asked for cp3 then didn't want arenas waived with amnesty we almost traded for andre miller at the draft n then wanted billups and alex kennedy says they aren't as close as they once were, they aren't best friends, YOUR THOUGHTS???????????

The mentality of this board is very funny sometimes.

I hope we crush them by 30 or so Dwight can see how terrible their supporting cast is compared to ours.
