Dwight needs to have a talk with Duncan after the game. Pick his brain about loyalty, Adidas, and life.

The organization is still holding out hope that Dwight will choose what he wants and not his agent, but time is running out.

I disagree with the notion that Howard wants to leave. His agent wants him to leave.

But if hes listening to everything his agent tells him, whats the difference?

You dont work this hard and give up at the 11:30 hour.

True, but you got to think he's pretty frustrated too. Pulling on a deal like Howard did is probably the most annoying, unprofessional moves in business. I agree, though, Alex will try. I hope he's successful.

Well just answer me this, do you think Dwight looks good at all after this? he would be looking a lot better if he just stayed the course with the trade request.


He should be fired, he has single handedly destroyed Howard's reputation, that was pretty much spotless for over 8 years.

I can't remember the last time I lost so much respect for someone soooo quickly. Probably never.

dont be surprised if "fegan" is no longer dwights agent come tomorrow.

The man has ruined his image.

But will Dwight have the guts to do it? So far he's been on the fence on a lot of decisions.

Howard is still an adult even if his agent wants him to leave its still his decision. He has to realize that his agent works for him, he doesn't work for his agent. He'll probably figure it out later on in life but it will be too late by then.

Dwight is so conscious of his image, Fegan should have been gone a while ago imo. Dwight has been misguided during this entire process. The fact that Fegan is this successful with his clients frustrates me.

Which is part of my second point. That I just see Fegan blocking any notion of Dwight staying.

I doubt it. He's probably afraid Fegan will yell at him, he doesn't like yelling.

Yeah you're right but I still say if there is a chance to get Dwight to change his mind before noon tomorrow I say you do whatever you can. I guess Alex should just make sure he has deals that he will take after that lined up.

On a side note, I LOVE the way Jameer is playing. Looking like pre-shoulder injury 2009 Meer. Again, Dwight's a dumbass if he thinks he's got it made elsewhere.
