You said the exact opposite like a week ago.

You even said you planned on changing your name to "The Nets Man" when Dwight gets traded, and that you hope he ends up in NJ.

Sigh^^^ this whole situation just sucks... I want Dwight to stay, but if his heart isn't in Orlando then he shouldn't be here, it's his life and decision, whatever... there are times I don't want Bynum because of his injury-prone nature and attitude, but at the same time there are times I do want him here because he is a legit dominating Center in the league when healthy.... and he's the only "equal" talent we can get back for Dwight... one minute I'll have pride and say "let Dwight walk... F LA!", and then the next minute I'm thinking we should get back the best talent available for Dwight, and then the next minute I think Dwight really wants to stay here. Everything is just messed up. I hate it.

I'm starting to believe the notions that "it's not about winning for Dwight" but more-so about Dwight wanting to expand his "brand", his "name", and his "endorsements" in a bigger market... but I'm still a firm believer that he cares about this city and winning as well... anyway, in the end this whole situation just sucks... I hate it. It's worse than the T-Mac, Shaq, & Penny situations imo.

Just let this process play out until the deadline and see what happens... it's depressing to think about tbh.

I'll always be a Magic fan, that's one thing for certain. Life will go on with or without Dwight.... sorry for the rant.

Well in his defense (I'm not speaking on behalf of him)... he's a Magic fan and he's probably just frustrated and confused by the whole situation like a lot of us are atm... I feel like the majority of us have said some "off-the-wall" comments and opinions about Dwight and the Magic management... most of them are reactionary or coming from anger/sadness/frustration... I think that may have been the case here... but then again, I may be wrong... but I'm just throwing in my two cents... I feel like us Magic fans should just stick together through this whole BS situation imo... What The Magic Man said just now is true... we're all going to be Magic fans, with or without Dwight.

@DJRajX you're right man....guess we're all on this sinking ship. But I'd rather sink with it than hop onto another one.

@The Magic Man, I hear you, man. Sorry for giving you a hard time, bygones be bygones?

Dwight for Andrew Bynum is a no go. Bynum has skeleton problems, he had a surgery when he was 12 years old, he basically is a walking injury.

He was probably trolling on the Nets board or something.

The New York Knicks were expected to dominate this season now that they've got Amar'e Stoudemire, Tyson Chandler, and Carmelo Anthony manning the front line, but the team has gone 5-4 in coach Mike D'Antoni's final year of his contract and sit in second place behind the Philadelphia 76ers, who don't have the same kind of star power as the Knicks but have found ways to win games so far this season.

Now the New York Daily News has it that Stoudemire has been mentioned as a trading chip that could be used to land Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard, who told Yahoo! Sports' Marc J. Spears this weekend that he doesn't think he's going to be dealt anytime soon, if at all.

The Daily News notes that Stoudemire's name also "surfaced last month in reports involving Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets." It's hard to believe the Knicks would let go of Stoudemire, who is averaging 21 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists this season.

Stoudemire, for one, isn't too concerned: "I don't worry about that stuff," Stoudemire said on Monday, according to the paper.

No way Orlando trades for Stoudemire's UNINSURED max contract. More NY media trying to stir things up.
