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

Smart man... I guess I bought into the hype of a kid that wanted to be our Franchise star!

Well he "seemed" different than the rest...so humble and nice. So religious.

They all start out that way and end up the complete opposite.

Whos next? Durrant? Rose?

Durrant will sooner or later realize 2 players scoring 70 percent of their points will never win a championship will bolt and become a D*Ck.

Rose...its only a matter of time before players start tuning out all that yelling and crap from their coach...much like the Magic.

These nice sweet humble players will be the future d*cks of the NBA guaranteed.

This whole affair has left me emotionally drained.

I feel sick to my stomach :/

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.

1) Lakers send Bynum, Fisher and Artest for D12, Hedo and Duhon
2) Nets send Lopez, Brooks, Humpries and 2 first rounders for D12, Hedo and Duhon

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

The LA offer is better, but the Lakers would be amazing after the trade.

WOW didnt know that...thought they had a worse record...

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.

If he stays healthy, you are right.

I'd much rather have Lopez, Brooks, and 2 late lotto picks than Bynum.

Dwight and Deron are awesome, but they will have no supporting cast and will have to come together on the fly. Adding Dwight does not automatically give them tons of wins in the short term IMO.

They do have a horrible record, but the lower end of the east is so bad that they are still within shouting distance of playoff spot lol.

We're not going to have a choice if Dwight comes out and says he doesn't want to play for the Lakers.

If it is too New Jersey, it will be really tough Friday night but I do feel and have felt for a while a deal will come by Thursday.

Cammo: It sucks to lose a player and see all these star players team up and go elsewhere. It really sucks!

However, I am going to love The Orlando Magic until the day I die. I'm no bandwagon fan and the ones who are will go away now.

I am not going to let what Dwight Howard wants or the lack of a "Franchise Player Tag" in The NBA make me decide I am no longer a fan of The Magic.

I survived Shaq leaving and wll survive Dwight leaving.

Random question. Do you get change your poster name since you're the Main Mod?

Im assuming you can because you joined in 2001 and you're called Howard Mass. Unless you knew Dwight was going to be a Magic 3 years before it happened. lol

I've always been Howard Mass and it is my real name.

Preach, brotha man! We were here before Dwight, and we'll keep rooting after!

It is not that I'm turning on the Magic. It is that I have a real problem continuing to watch a league that is rigged against my team.

Clearly I would still hope the Magic won.

I do not think the league is rigged but I do hate these superteams.

Super teams are a good thing once we lose Dwight. Have fun against the Bulls and Miami!

Rigged might not be the right term, but it is next to impossible for small market teams to compete.
