Re: Official Speculation Thread (Pt XX: Trade Deadline cont.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this isn't a done deal yet:
Christian Bruey@cbrueyReply
@moneygman18 yeah Ive been told the magic need paperwork by 3 tomrrow so still a fluid situation for time being but he told team hes staying
Adrian Wojnarowski@WojYahooNBAReply
Three Magic players tell Y! Sports (2 to @SpearsNBAYahoo) and one to me that Dwight Howard did not tell them he was opting in for next year.
Adrian Wojnarowski@WojYahooNBAReply
Said one Magic player on Howard meeting: "Next year was not even mentioned in meeting...He told us he was "all-in" for this season."
I like this team

THIS GUY...
I just though the same thing in my head
Wojina's sources don't know what's in Dwight's head. They are speculating. He makes it seem like it's information by calling them "sources" but in this case, sources are just people he talks to who don't know what's going on in Dwight's head.
What we do know is that he called the CEO and told him he's staying.
I'll sit on that for a while over Wojina's "incredible" bias.

Howard called Magic CEO while sitting at table and informed him of intentions, source says. Still, Magic waiting for him to sign papers now.
Now I 100% believe him.
If he didn't sign after this, he would officially be public enemy #1. This could be career-defining.

I'm starting to think this was part of his Agent's plan... the media exposed what he said yesterday (Roll the dice)... so now, they said you should tell them you're opting-in, and that was ruined with the deadline the Magic gave him...

I mean, he has to sign at this point, right? He's practically at the point of no return.

That's what I'm thinking, turning back now would be suicide.
Everyone would see through it. And he can't blame the deadline, either.
I wonder who the 3 teammates he told were?

I'm guessing Meer and Hedo were 2 of them... but I don't know who the third would be. Ryan?

He is also lowering his trade value. I can easily see LA saying that they don't want to deal with this mess either.

The thing is what if Dwight asks "so where is that good player you promised?"
