Glen Davis played Monday night despite the sudden death of his biological father yesterday in Louisiana.

Think twice before booing your team, folks. That's a completely different story. I give Baby props for playing. That took a lot of heart.

I agree, our fan base is full of idiots. Booing your own players should never be OK

I disagree, Boston boos their players, L.A. boos their players, and some players take it as motivation because the fans are being honest with how they are playing, but dang booing him after this must make people feel like a complete douche.

^^ that is not true. Boston doesn't boo like we did tonight. Raptors boo their players, Sixers boo their players. Not the company to be mentioned in the same sentence.

You NEVER boo a player in Magic uniform, no matter what he could or couldn't do. Moreover, It was not like Glen wasn't trying.

Yep, as much as I hate his shot selection (which are shots he's notorious for making), I'll always respect heart and hustle.

Denton: Howard Desires to be Magic's "Closer" - John Denton
http://www.nba.com/magic/news/denton_ho ... 21312.html

ORLANDO – Sounding more and more like a player committed to the Orlando Magic for the long term, superstar center Dwight Howard reiterated his desire to be the team’s go-to scorer late in games and the one to lead the franchise to a championship...

...Afterward, he was trying to clarify remarks he made Saturday when it sounded like he was pouting about not getting the ball, even though the Magic beat the Milwaukee Bucks behind a red-hot performance from Jason Richardson...

Don't toy with me Denton, I will cut you

[drsd]

should we join the JR Smith sweepstakes?

Orlando is front-loaded at the SG slot, and Smith can get overly emotional. I cannot see the Magic participating in this.

I will not get excited until it's officially past the trade deadline. where we either see our new future without Dwight, or, we move on to the playoffs with Dwight.

If we sign him it's most likely cause we're trading one of J-Rich, JJ, or both.

[jjtreyball]

Any chance we could get an Ellis-David lee- Dwight big three? Ya it would prolly have to be a big trade or a 3 way but I think lee would be perfect for Howard and it would save money for GS...ya Anderson is perfect too but lee is more proven

[jjtreyball]

Like maybe j rich-redick-Nelson-Anderson-orton-couple
of first round picks for lee and Ellis and maybe a throw in then it's
Ellis/ish
Jr smith?/liggins
Hedo/jr
Lee/bbd
Howard/bbd
That is a serious contender IMO

GS wouldn't trade ellis unless howard is involved. Its looking like nash or bust

If it does come down to just Nash we can't trade anderson

[BN]

A three way deal landing us both Nash and Lee (for our role players, hehe) could be interesting... Of course we're screwed if both Nash and Dwight still walk...

[eyriq]

Nelson and JRich for Nash would be a dream come true for Orlando.

[gp123]

Would be nice, but suns wont want 2 over thirties... They could have kept Jrich themselves if they were that high on him.

it would actually clear lots of capspace.
