I'd be upset to if I was told "Its a done deal dwight, hurry up and opt in so we can get you even more help!" and it turned out to not even be true.

If we seriously can't upgrade the roster to keep coward then we have to try trading him turk baby for bynum artest gasol, maybe give them nelson and try to swing a deal for ellis using gasol and jj or jrich

[eyriq]

There is no chance we trade Dwight. Media is driving a narrative to maximize clicks. Information regarding FO decisions are closed circuit, no access. What little nibbles we get are as accurate as you'd get if we all played a game of telephone. However, verified information from Dwight himself and the FO clearly points out that we are trying to upgrade the talent, so I'm still strapped in!

So in other words. Orlando Magic org is on "lockdown".

DEFCON5!!!!

Did I just become a source

-Magic fans are upset, and are fearing for the worst (Dwight to be traded)

Let's be clear. At this point, a Dwight trade is actually the BEST-case scenario.

[Potterman]

I meant upset as in... they are upset at ownership and Otis... and fearing the worst as in, Dwight will be traded for absolute crap :-/

I should've made that clear.

But I agree... we can't let Dwight walk away and get nothing in return.

From YBR

Ok he said the organization told him Friday that th 3 way deal for Monta was "a done deal" only to find out Monday that it wasn't done and we were basically still trying to convince GSW. Doubts Orlando makes a move to bring in help

Believe it or not.

I can't believe they would have told him it was a done deal. Nobody is that stupid.

Rudolph's going to be on magic drivetime on 740 the game soon. His rumors never come true, but he's pretty good at talking basketball on the radio.

[magicfan4life88]

Before anyone knocks the artest trade you need to realize while he is a head case he can defend well

[ADRajX]

Christ... what a clusterF

If that story is true, I can't blame Dwight for being pissed. I am as much as he is that we can't bring Monta in.

Same.... I can understand Dwight and Monta's frustrations

This is what I posted at TBN

YBR... I remember you saying Dwight and Monta had talked to one another yesterday, right? Was that when Dwight had believed the Magic FO had the deal officially done, ready to acquire Ellis? If so I can understand Ellis' (and Dwight's) frustrations atm... they probably thought they were going to be playing as teammates pretty soon.

[Tayswagzzz]

Even if we do get Dwight help...who is to say he will re-sign with us? He might be dead set on the Nets, no matter what. He won't re-sign with us right away even if we got Ellis cause if he opts out he makes the 30 mil extra w/ us right? So it's still a "what if" game for another year. Fml.

TRADE DWIGHT, TRADE DWIGHT, TRADE DWIGHT!

[OrlandO]

Dwight and Monta talked? I must have missed that...

Let's do it, I wanna be saying "Dwight who?" by tomorrow. If we trade for Bynum i'll purchase his jersey.

DEFCON2!!

I would LOVE to have Ellis here. With or without Dwight. Tell Ellis were gonna rebuild around him.

Sounds like he's got all the promising attributes to make it big in sports media just like Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless.

[magicfan4life88]

So sick of all this id like to.say I cant wait til thursday but if nothing happens we are still going to be stressing til dwights re-signed or gone after this season

[jadewbj]

Is it me or has this been the least eventful trade deadline ever? Not just for us for the whole NBA.

[Noonskadoodle]

Just trade Dwight to the Lakers for Bynum & the 2 first rounders like Mark Spears said.

Just freakin get it over with

[cb1115]

Lopez, Brooks, Okur, Humphries, 2 firsts for Dwight and J-Rich. Just get it over with.
