Is that seriously it? Was there anything else?

I edited the post and added this "...nothing really new... Dwight was admittedly frustrated.. things could have changed... also this is a short sample of what he posted, apparently he has more."

well that's what the guy alluded to at the forum:

http://truebluenation.com/forum/index.php?/topic/22673-the-official-dwight-howard-everything-thread/page__st__912

The DMs were not anything special. Just Rich and Dwight talking about stan before the season started. With that said it did pretty much prove what rich was saying to be true.

Thanks for the proof Rich but I wouldnt post anymore screens.

lol yeah, just wanted to show proof of some of our conversations

Anyway, I don't see the big deal... we all knew Dwight was frustrated and confused with this whole situation.

[ADRajX]

Also things have changed... Dwight said he viewed this team as the 2009 Finals team (the reporter tweet)

and he "reportedly" wants D-Will to come here (Ping) http://m.clickorlando.com/wap/news/text ... op+Stories

... also the new article with Anderson and Howard clearing the air after the Bulls game are all promising signs (Denton) http://www.nba.com/magic/news/denton_fe ... 10712.html

Don't forget that Alex runs the show now... and Dwight and SVG cleared the air a bit as well

... so things might have changed

DM screen caps or not... they are irrelevant at this point imo... idk why the folks at TBN got so worked up over them... the time frame of the DM isn't anything new

I saved the image (crossed out the guy's number)... here it is

Ugh.

C'mon, where is the rest of the conversation ? Maybe Dwight wants to leave a boring ass party.

Otis Smith interview from the Sentinel.

"If trying is a sin, then I have sinned a lot, because I'm never going to stop trying," Smith said.

We need to fire this man before he makes another panic trade.

He also says Howard stance regarding a trade has not changed.

Ugh. I hate this. I don't want Stan fired. At all.

remember though... this was all from early Dec, and parts of October... things can change... Dwight and Stan cleared the air recently

[cb1115]

well yesterday he repeated that Deron wouldnt come because hes stuck on the owner there...that being said I feel Deron can change his mind and the fact that Williams brought up Texas and Florida in that article lets me know Deron is at least thinking about Dallas and Orlando. I sent Dwight that Deron state tax/market article and he just said "Derons just talking". But i can ask him about playing in dallas

I guess Deron wears the pants in this relationship.

I like to get the info, but I wouldn't be posting all that stuff if I were him.

Anyways, that really sucks for us and has killed almost any hope that I had for keeping Dwight.

i don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but that "team feels like 2009" comment came after trouncing the Nets. i think the team has been lulled into a false sense of security with all the bottom feeder teams we've been playing, and when we came up against some real competition we got a big wakeup call.

going back up against the Kings will hopefully help get the game going again, but we need to face more competition to get Anderson ready for playoff ball and not stat padding against garbage teams (this isn't hate, as i love the big guy).

i think the biggest difference between Dwight and Stan is Dwight taking over as on court leader, and less shouting from Stan. i'm only watching from a streaming online connection so the audio quality isn't perfect, but i hardly hear Stan shouting from the sidelines anymore.

the way i see this season playing out is that the Nets keep Deron and gamble it all on being able to recruit Dwight in the offseason. we don't make a trade, since the team seems to be finding form, and we go into the offseason with the ability to clear some contracts in an effort to sign Deron ourselves. what happens from there? who knows...
