Bucher claimed "sources" on that statement and Broussard saying Fegan was behind it using it to manipulate Dwight's image. Just saying, not sure it's true.

I feel bad for you guys who actually live in Orlando. I've been a Magic fan forever, never lived in Orlando, but the media, every one seems to be against you right now. I hope the Magic organization gives the big back hand to every one, including the nuts who want Howard traded by keeping him.

Hell Yes! It's time for Orlando to stop playing nice, grow a pair, and start going for blood once in their lives. Nice gets you nowhere

My buddy works for the Magic. He said Dwight WILL be traded if he doesn't opt in or sign the extension come 3pm. Expect a trade in the next 24 hours.

With Monta Ellis gone, Magic set their sights on Dwight Howard's other choice: Josh Smith. Not sure they have pieces to get him.

...that is so untrue it isn't funny. Melo is not a franchise guy, he is a black hole on offense and is selfish with the ball. Bynum would slide right into the Howard role here and would not miss a beat.

This team is build for a big man in the middle and Bynum would fill that need. If we were built differently then maybe Melo would be a possibility, but not how this team is currently constructed.

Bynum plays with one of the best SG/ high volume shooter in the league, and is in no way as dominant as Dwight. So if you're satisfied with being a 7 or 8 seed, sure, Bynum's your man. Don't get me wrong, he's a damn good center, but the idea of adopting him as our franchise player is hilarious, he won't sell tickets, and surrounding him with unathletic shooters will make for some of the least entertaining basketball in league.

I "roll the dice" on Melo, and hope he gets his mind right, and do my best to get chandler in the deal, too...

Take 'em to the cleaners!!!

Wouldn't that rock? How much mulling does it take to do it? What's the worst that can happen, we piss off Fegan and he won't get Dwight to resign here?

Or do we not want to piss off JRich?

They have worked too hard this season to become a top 5 team to just give up now and become a .500 Nuggets team.

All this preaching so that we have one more failed playoff run, and Dwight leaves for nothing. Don't see the point.

Dwight Gonna Prove Ya'll Wrong!!!!!!

Ummm, is that you Dwight? It isn't UP to him (unless he agrees to opt-in). Are you saying he is going to agree to opt-in? That's the only thing in his control (although being the puppet he is, it's really in Fegan's control) to "prove ya'll wrong!!!!"....

what sucks is this **** makes impossible to sleep. Don't wanna miss anything so I've been watching everything from realgm, twitter, espn.

Can't wait for this to be over now.

I would think if we could pursue tampering we would have done it already. We probably can not do it anymore, waited too long.
