Official Speculation Thread (Pt XVII, Mods Close)

[Nyce_1]

please, don't listen to anything from ESPN. Stick to YBR and/or Rudolph.

[Edrock]

If the trade goes down, do people make "COME HERE DERON" signs for the game against the NJN on the 16th???

[RickB-Orlando]

ESPN First Take is about to debate Dwight signing with the HEAT or CLIPPERS this summer as a FA. WTF....

Don't bother, just don't even watch it, it's not worth the frustration and lack of knowledge.

ESPN just reporting that Dwight has "new power" and can decide the fate of Otis or Stan if he signs an extension. This is brand new stuff, since earlier it was said Otis would be our GM no matter what.

Stephen A Smith keeps making his pitch on how Dwight needs to leave and he cant stay in Orlando..blah blah...just sounds like him (along with every other ESPN prick) wants him out of there.

He was so wrong.

He also said that Dwight's original list included the Knicks and the Clips, which it didn't.

Of course he'll throw his Knicks into the mix.

i thought he was a sixers guy?

[RickB-Orlando]

At this rate, we're gonna need three more threads before 3PM on Thursday.

[Tarnag]

Ellis | Nelson
JRich | Wafer
Jackson | Clark
Anderson | BBD
Dwight | Biedrins

*sigh*

That looks like a nasty lineup, I'd love if we could pull it off

Exactly that would be nice especially if it was JRich gone instead of JJ:(

Wake up homers, Ryan Anderson is gone in any trade involving Ellis..

[Nyce_1]

I understand this, but I can still put it on paper and look at it.

Isn't it so pretty?

[Swiftraven]

Kyler is correct, they need Dwight to opt in for next year at least or none of this happens.

[J-Ville Smoke]

Dwight is leaving us regardless this summer. Trading away both Ryan and JJ would be a colossal mistake.

Hell, trading away Ryan would be a colossal mistake. The only way I send them both out is if it brings us Nash and Smith.

Nah, he's a Knicks homer. Proud of it, too.

[RickB-Orlando]

Yep. If he won't publicly commit to opting in, I'm guessing we go to plan "B", which is trading him for the best deal possible.

[Nolimit1211]

I think Dwight is traded soon. They want him to opt in before dealing and he's not gonna do it.... We're the freaking Cavs. Sorry Devos.

[BadMofoPimp]

Lets say Howard doesn't commit and the Magic are going to blow anyways next year since they will lose him. What if the Magic bench Howard for the rest of the season for Conduct Detrimental to the Team and thus tarnish his image permanently. Lets see him get sponsors then. Just Joking!

[Nyce_1]

Magic & Dwight playing chicken. Do you make trades without a commitment from Dwight? You know him and trust he'll stay if he has these players; but do you gamble? Dwight, why not opt-in for 1 more year so Otis/Alex can make these trades?

Seems like they just need to get agent/lawyers, Dwight, and Magic brass in a room, on a conference call with MIL & GSW. Let Dwight hear what's on the table and the ball is in his court to commit. Once you make the deal, have him sign his opt-in contract right then and there.

at least wait until thursday.

(i must admit it does look bleak though)

Steve Kyler ‏ @stevekylerNBA
I think Orlando has a huge deal they can make that has them taking a ton of bad contracts.. won;t do it unless D12 signs on for 1 more year

Steve Kyler ‏ @stevekylerNBA
RT @E_Money18: What are you hearing about Orlando ---> keep in mind the Magic may not do a major deal unless Dwight exercises his option now

[Rick Rolled]

Alex Kennedy ‏ @AlexKennedyNBA
Source close to the situation denied the rumored talks between the Warriors, Magic and Bucks: "No discussion whatsoever. Not one call."
