he only speaks of what he knows, but he often does not know much. I almost never trust twitter rumor "journalists", but i am willing to give this guy the benefit of the doubt.

to me, he stuck out his neck on this one. strong words.

I hope.


Seems pretty good over there, but I love RealGM and I only post here because I don't have enough hours in the day for two internet forums and a life. I can't just occasionally post anywhere, I'd be checking in on TBN the whole time, too.

I used to split time between there and here, but TBN has really slowed down post wise. The game threads here are more entertaining as well. I need to start checking in on it again more often.

at least we only have to wait 5 days to find out if he's right.

given his words "if everything goes correctly", makes it sound big, and complicated (ie, multi team deal). i can only hope it's true.

at this point, i'd be happy to make a trade for the sake of making a trade, because i don't believe this team, as is, can compete for a title.

it's a fact that this current team makeup will not ever win a title.

^^ This guy knows nothing about what our FO does or will do. He only knows stuff via Dwight. He said Dwight would stay when a certain something happens.

when I combine these facts, this is my conclusion: a possible trade worked out by several GMs, it was decided upon pending further internal discussions. Then Otis asked Dwight if he liked it and if he would resign. Dwight said yes and Orlando is all in. It still has a chance to ne nixed by other parties, but in essence, this is 90% done.

all my speculation.

Yeah, I like it. I've personally ripped off a few of your sigs from there before (always give you credit for it, though :D )

BTW, I wouldn't get your collective hopes up. How many times have we heard "rumors" from "sources"?

Not a damned thing is going to happen. I'm willing to avatar bet on it.
