Good. it's a nice backup plan if Dwight doesn't opt-in.

[The Real Dalic]

Dwight knew this moment was coming. I don't understand how he is so mixed on this. Either come out and say you want to be in Orlando, or tell them you want them to trade you. You've had months to think this over and talk to your family. Nothing has changed. He needs to make up his damn mind and put this to rest already.

Agreed.

If Dolan was smart he would do that deal. Assuming of course Dwight would stay in NY.

I would take Melo/Chandler. Even Bynum if they take back hedo. If I were GM, Dwight would be traded by midnight tonight if hasn't signed the papers.

I just saw that on Twitter and thought I would share it. Personally I would not mind Amare and Chandler but their contracts are as ugly as can be... Having just said that and thinking about the GM of ORL it would not surprise me it that was discussed

[Magic#1]

I'd like Duncan to have a nice heart-to-heart with Dwight postgame.

[Optimus_Steel]

Dwight is not going anywhere. Dwight is staying.

From the article.
Also, this is from 3:58pm today.

The Magic would also be interested in a Knicks package of Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler, sources say, should the Knicks make such an offer. The Knicks have discussed the deal internally but have been given no indication that Howard would remain with them long term. That being the case, they have thus far refused the temptation to engage Orlando in trade talks.

[Noonskadoodle]

Dwight HAS too read these boards & gets a kick out of us going crazy every other hour........I know I would if I was him hahahaha.

Could you imagine sitting there like pssst somebody say they have sources im second guessing myself.....psst somebody say im staying for sure........psst somebody tell em im already second guessing myself again.

As the entire team is sitting there just LAUGHING at us in the locker room hahahahahaha.

[Ballah]

He can't go back now, he called the Magic CEO to tell him he is opting in, he's told family friends and team mates. He would look worse than Lebron after the decision if he went back now, his image would take a huge hit.

This thread is starting to slow down surprisingly...

[eraman2008]

Hey were gettin national media attention now
for all the wrong reasons but still.

[justanotherfan]

I thought if ESPN confirms that he was opting in its normally legit? As much as I hate ESPN and still think they're just trying to get him out of here normally what they say is confirmed.

What I'm trying to get at is that until ESPN actually reports that he is reconsidering or never said anything I don't think we should jump to any conclusions.

Don't do it Bobcats... both of those players won't even see the floor. just let Boris expire. DO NOT LET THE NETS TAKE IN ANOTHER EXPIRING CONTRACT!!!

Orlando will not stop actively pursuing deals, sources say, until Dwight and his agent put that promise in writing.

[MagicBasketba11]

Dwight is not going anywhere. Dwight is staying.

[Last Guardian]

I see this is still not a sure thing yet.
