That would be sick if we got Monta. Just gamble on Monta/Dwight.

But back to this scenario. I think if we traded Dwight, BBD, Jameer, Von for Lowry, Dalembert, Kmart, CLee, Morris and picks, we got a great deal. Kmart, Turk, Duhon all expire together, Lowry is the franchise/core PG for the next 5 years+ and CLee and Morris are our future wing rotation with Hou, ORL picks. We also got a shot at what Harper, Clark, Orton look like without Dwight, BBD. Turk and Kmart are the tank commanders. But we have young young guys in all positions and when we finish drafting more pieces until when Kmart, Turk, Duhon give us our cap space together, then we can make a major acquisition immediately or planned later by using 1 year deals. This time with young players, rookie salary scaled players around our core of lottos/cap space/Lowry-Ryan-JJ. (I see a trade after Hou-ORL of ORL trading J Rich for a TPE or prospect, and a nice mid 1st pick to add to our picks stash).

CLee is so overrated on this board, it's worse than Jameer was back in '09

I don't think CLee has some all star potential but hes a perfect system player. Plays defense and shows energy, hits the threes and does a few other things too. We're about to be without Dwight and I'm pretty sure with the defense of CLee and Morris in the SG/SF and Lowry at the PG, we're gonna start replacing Dwight's defense a little bit and move back towards top 10 defense. These are the kind of players SVG would love and at their ages, be like a Denver deal, and stay on our roster rotation for a long time while we redraft and sign FA around the team.

Ok man where do I start: Basically earlier he ranted about how he felt lied to; He only contnued that. Says Orlando has been lying to him all year. I brought up that the GSW trade didnt happen because GSW wants to trade for him and he said "they wont get me". I said Theyre trying to rent you, which i didnt think he understood at 1st, but basically he said he's not going. I said what if Otis send you there without your permission and how does he think he can actually stop a trade to a team and he said yes. Said he hasnt blocked a trade all season and says if somehow someway he still ended up in GSW will not be resigning. From there he switched back to the magic organization.

So basically Dwight doesn't fully understand the NBA's trade rules, nor know what is going on with his own situation (i.e not knowing that GSW would be interested in renting him).

[MagicFan41]

YBR also said he told Dwight that it was GSW's fault, that they were the ones that seemed to block the Monta trade and Dwight just said "nah". I'm sorry, but I really think Dwight is a moron. I've said this for a long time....but it's becoming more and more apparent.

Back on the Rudolph bandwagon!

PS. Good Riddance to J.Rich and him always giving Magic fans cheap shots. We now know who called us "wine and cheese" fans... Peace, buster.

League sources have told me the Magic are having discussions with Minnesota regarding a trade for Jason Richardson.

we getting the real love baby, woot woot

[DiplomaticMagic]

I'd love J-Rich to be out of here. Good news.

[arsenal6106]

Rich DeVos: "I'm still hopeful that we'll keep him." He's referring to Dwight.

Orlando Magic owner Rich DeVos: "I don't think there will be any surprises (on Thursday), but we'll see."

This was just posted on TBN. Not sure where or when this was said though. Anybody have a link?

[InFlames]

Trading JRich? Yes please.

Of course he doesn't. Which is why, thankfully, he stayed out of the CBA negotiations. He even said this summer he didn't really follow that stuff. He then complained earlier this year that all the guys he wanted brought in "weren't guys that would put us over the cap or anything" (when we have been in the LUXURY TAX for years....much less over the cap). He was pissed they weren't brought in because he thought we could just bring them in. I am sure he has NO clue how trades work, that you have to match salaries, etc etc....he prob thinks it's like a video game, since that's all he plays...

[dsg2021]

Would you guys do Ray and Rondo for Dwigh/Hedo and Duhon?

Then we could try to pair Rondo with other star in the future.

I would. But maybe KG instead of Ray. Rondo is like Lowry. Lowry is better in every category except the two biggest; assists and turnovers. Rondo is basically top 2/3 in world of being a true PG.

lol if this is real.. then Dwight's kind of dumb

[SmiteaDwight]

free time for Von? Yes Please.

[InFlames]

Dwight feeling lied to? You mean like you lied to all of Orlando at your little BBQ this past summer?

[ADRajX]

Dwight truly is a moron... he really think the Magic are the reason the deal isn't going through? What an IDIOT

It's Golden State's douche owner wanting to rent Dwight, and blocking the deal!... and Dwight doesn't even know what he meant by that (renting)... also our assets aren't that great... what does Dwight expect?

Dwight is just finding any reason to leave us... good leave you overgrown baby

[thelead]

so many "insiders" on tbn... why don't we have any? There are so many more of us

[sChOlaRlY_Magi]

I saw the post from Reggie about LA thinking they could keep him... Is there any links or confirmed reports of that?

The only team I heard that is willing to take that chance is GSW, which while is in Cali - they have neither Bynum nor Gasol.

I keep seeing this stuff about LA; but I think there is no way we can trade with LA now that all of this is out about the Nyets. WE are royally backed into a corner here and are only going to get trash offers in the last 48 hours as EVERYONE will know we are in DEFCON mode.

Just smh... This is actually worse then Shaq, at least he was out of town before we knew what happened.

There;s your legacy Dwight.. To be known as the guy that made Shaq look good in comparison when leaving a franchise.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Or when he lied about NOT meeting with King and Prokorhov (however his stupid name is spelled) in Miami before the season started
