in fact, history is basketball is full of change of hearts and more shocking ones than this. until the fat lady sings people.

dwight is just kid, you should GET that - unless you too are kids of course, then it is fine.

Everyone knew there was the off chance that he had a change of heart. The point is, it is not smart business to bank on that and put your blind faith in a person on the probability of that happening.


The only problem I have is with people questioning other people's intelligence on such a delicate and subjective point of reference. People were so confident that they basically might as well have said they were in dwight's head. I'm not talking about you when I say this, but people should not be so quick to insult others based on a subjective discussion.

I think we can all agree that everyone was on the edge and felt very strongly about something as important as this. I can see where the short tempers were coming from, and they were coming from both sides.

Thing is, the overwhelming evidence pointed to the argument of one side. To be honest, I think the "Pro Dwight" crowd just lucked out here. There was nothing, absolutely nothing out there that indicated this would happen. Sometimes people make bad and uninformed bets and still end up winning.

Okay okay... I hate to break up the Dwight opting-in talks... but what about the Josh Smith 3-team deal/rumor we heard 20 pages ago?

THIS is what we need. Broussard is on his game. I dislike him, but he's legit.
