I knew there was a reason I never bought a Dwight jersey. I learned my lesson after having a Shaq jersey.

He makes ears bleed with that voice. He could do great voice over work for horror movies though.

The LA deal is much worse than the NJ one.

Take it with a grain of salt, it's Ping.

Nets deal is better unless LA offers Gasol.

Nets deal allows us to rebuild, give them BBD + filler and let them add Okur to clear all our capspace and make them add another 1st rounder.

That pic is awesome... :lol:

Seriously I just want us to start a new era of Magic basketball. Us Magic fans deserve so much better than this and our time is going to come. I'm patient enough to wait. I've been a Magic fan since I was 12 and never wavered from this team even though I'm not from Orlando and have yet to visit the city.

MAGIC FAN TILL I DIE!!!

Agreed, the picks are most valuable IMO

What picks? Nets have FOUR less wins than the 8th place Knicks. They might get into the playoffs like I've said ALL YEAR.

You go with Nets trade tank next season and try to snag Bynum in free agency. Nets deal is just so much better.

A "Friend" does not come on a stupid message board spilling private talks with Dwight Howard and publicly posts the conversation on a Public Message Forum - Sorry, but I just ain't buying it.

I am friends with a few Alabama football players and they have told me stuff about the Draft, staying or leaving and if I were to have gone on an Alabama Message Board and posted what they told me - They would no longer be my friend. This YBR guy and Rudolph are full of ****.

I am totally with you on this one. I listened to Rudolphs show and everything he said had an "I think" attached to it. Hence, this is all media BS. I bet he got an extra 50k listeners with those tweets and message board hooplah. This is why I rarely visit ESPN anymore. Maybe, Mike and Mike in the morning as at least I know what I am getting is reports on rumors as rumors, not pretending the sources are facts.

Time to rebuild. It been fun watching Dwight the last couple years. Here goes dream trade...

Trade #1:
Orl In: Bynum, Rondo, McRoberts
Orl Out: Dwight, Anderson, Nelson

Boston In: Gasol, Anderson, LAL 1st
Boston Out: Rondo, Allen

LA In: Howard, Nelson, Ray Allen
LA out: Bynum, Gasol, McRoberts

I think all teams have to consider this option. It gives Boston a surplus at PF (Gasol, Anderson, Garnett, Bass), but Bass will opt out of his contract this offseason and Garnett may move to another team, that's not rebuilding. That's a good haul for a player (Rondo) they are not crazy about. Anderson has likely priced himself out of Orlando with his stellar play this season.

Trade #2:
Orl: J-Rich, Duhon
LA Clippers: Foye, Cook (released), Reggie Evans (released)

Clippers want wing help. It's Redick's time to get a legit chance to start. We get out of Duhon's contract.

Team (years left on contract)
PG: Rondo (3), Foye (0)
SG: Redick, Wafer, Liggins
SF: Hedo (2), Q-Rich (2), Clark (1)
PF: McRoberts (1), Davis, Harper
C: Bynum (1), Davis (3)

BOOYAH!

Indeed it is, you can always trade up picks with player + picks.

Magic CEO Alex Martins said before Tues. game that Dwight Howard has not told him of his decision to stay or go

Well, the CEO of the orlando magic needs to grow some brass balls and say...

"Dwight, what's the deal? Are you going to sign or not?"

If he doesn't give a straight answer - TRADE HIM within the next hour.

It's not Rocket Science.

I'm a huge Alabama fan and Nick Saban would have already booted Dwight. He doesn't play games and neither should the Magic.

It's a business... Cut our losses and move the F-K on!

I remember that Phoenix game where we snapped the streak... everything clicked... that long three by Shammond Williams was epic... Suns fired their head coach immediately afterward

I remember that game! We celebrated like we won a championship hahaha.

I had to live thru seeing Reece Gaines getting raped by Baron davis and I had to live thru Drew Gooden's infected hair follicles and I am still here lol.

Thank you

No indication is all you need to know.

They need to get their head out of the sand and be realistic.

I predicted that the Nets would have 15 wins at the deadline (they have 14 today). They have 22 games after the deadline and can easily sneak into the playoffs. Whoever wants Lopez, Brooks, and trash picks over the second best center in the NBA is on crack.
