I saw him as a poor mans Kevin Love months ago... a stretch 4 that rebounds... I thought that was reasonable...then someone got mad at me and called him the next Dirk... then I laughed spitting my delicious lunch everywhere and possibly shooting some out of my nose. I can't remember...because I was laughing so hard.

Get out of here. You never believed in him.

I always get depressed when I get home after a long day of work and find out the my favorite entertainment product still hasn't gotten better and may get really bad in the next 10 days. From the time I go to bed to the time I get home from work there is 20-40 pages of NOTHING. We are SOOOOOOO desperate.

I bet Dallas isn't even one of them, since they know they have nothing to offer. Note you haven't heard even one Dallas trade rumor? Might be Chicago instead? (Although they might not want to blow that team up). He did say "6-8" so it's obv not exact...

We have all been at this since December. We are all delusional and burned out and are more hungry than any other fan base in the NBA for a Championship. Yea, I know that I am desperate!

Knicks are not on the list according to an article just posted by Woj on yahoo. He says the Knicks refuse to talk to Orlando because of the affect trade talks would have on Melo and Chandler.

I think Dwight being so open about his wanted departure and his listing of the teams he'd re-sign with have really hindered the Magic's negotiating skills. Teams don't want to make a trade with us or are trying to low ball us because they know we're desperate to appease Howard, on top of that teams know Howard is likely to walk and aren't wanting to give up much to get him as they feel they can get him for free in free agency.

I hate to say it but barring a miracle I think we're in for some gloomy days. With such an old owner and brand new arena I can't see them wanting to tank to rebuild, we might be competing for the bottom half of the playoffs and a perrenial first round exit

Magic still resisting Dwight Howard trade - By Adrian Wojnarowski
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=a ... nba_030612

The fresh-faced CEO of the Orlando Magic tries to speak to Dwight Howard daily, pushing hard to accelerate a relationship with the franchise’s most important asset. He’s late to the job, to the recruitment and understands 7½ years are difficult to replicate in his personal window of 90 days. Outside, everyone else tells Alex Martins: Give in to the inevitable, find an acceptable package and trade Dwight Howard.

“It seems that way, doesn’t it?” Martins told Yahoo! Sports...

I have an uneasy feeling after reading this... I can't explain it, but I think something is going to happen before the deadline... probably more bad than good... I like Martins, I know he's trying very hard to save this situation, but I feel like it's little too late... moron Otis ruined it.

Edit* btw, how much are willing to bet Martins read all those emails we sent him before the season started?

Edit2* sorry rcklsscognition, I didn't realize you posted the same link.

Get out of here. You never believed in him.

Seriously I said he reminds me of a poor mans Kevin Love because of his efforts on the offensive glass. He's steadily upgraded...First he was Garrity, then Troy Murphy's lost son, and now he's poor mans Kevin Love. See I believe in him.
