To who? What team will trade anything of value for a guy who won't be there next year?

I think GS's owner is BS crazy enough to do it.

Do we really want to tie ourselves to the main parts of a lottery team long term?

When this whole thing started I wasn't even upset at Howard I was just sad.

Now I'm really angry and sad.

I want this to be over with soon.

I'm really tired of this.

I honestly don't care about supporting a bad team as long as guys play hard.

I want people who want to be here

Im so sick of this circus.

Well said dude.. I am just pissed off.

If I cannot vent on an Orlando Magic Message Forum then where else can I vent?

For god's sake I was in Atlanta today eating lunch with a few friends of mine (who are ATL Hawks fans by the way) and on ESPN the story line came up about Dwight having control on the fate of Otis and SVG

I lost my **** when I read that. Then my friends started asking me "How are you a fan of this team? Their management such a joke" - then the whole Shaq discussion came aboard and bla bla bla

I just had to vent. It's an embarrassment. I usually kill myself to get home to watch a game but I am leaving in the morning because I am just sick of the whole thing and I can careless about tonight's game. In all of my years of being a Magic fan - even when we sucked, I have never been "Burned Out" like I am today.


You're good man. Everybody's a little on edge, vent away bro.

Hi guys,
D12 has to act like a man and notice Otis that he is not going to stay, but it is not about the franchise but about the Magic's fans.
He knows that we felt betrayed by Shaq when we got nothing.
His situation it's worst because he's making not only the fans and teamates angry, the whole league is tired of this BS.

Funny, I had this conversation over lunch. I understand that some will disagree, but all of this could have been avoided if NBA ownership hadn't caved and insisted on a franchise tag.

LOL

All this and I'm pretty sure Dwight's public position hasn't changed one iota. He wants to win.

As much as we all want to keep Howard for the next 10 years and we all know he is a superstar that gives our best chance for winning a title, why do we even want him here if he's so he'll bent on leaving? Since December, he has basically said this team, this city, his teammates, magic fans aren't good enough. So forget that. Trade him for the best package of players we can get and move on. Get players that WANT to be here. And then hope Miami/Chi/OKC destroy his new team for a long time. If he goes to NJ, I will laugh when he and "Derpn" clash! Haha

Do not know what to think about this.

I know what to think: This guy sucks. because he had a few DM's from Dwight makes him legit? at this time yesterday, he said a deal was "close." thats worse than what Rudolph tweeted and your all over his ass, i dont get it. Rudolph just tweeted what he heard.

But he was legit when we were talking with GSW for Monta, right?

The media's ploy to run Dwight out of town with rumors is working...
