A small market team with a solid coach and players who all buy in?

Dwight is a selfish prick.


It helps with good management. It always start from the top, our management failed the team. I don't blame Dwight for wanting to leave, I hate how he's handling the situation though.

Dwight Howard has clearly shown today, via his words and actions to management and his teammates, what his desire is. His agent, who stands to make much more money if Dwight is in Brooklyn, obviously feels different.


Here's something........I think (like another poster said) his agent is trying to take a bullet for him. Dwight literally changed his mind in under 2 hours? On such a life-altering decision?

No, I think this was a ruse to get us to halt on the trade talks, and when it didn't work, his agent took the heat for him.

When you look at things, he's actually demanded out since before training camp. Only until earlier today that he said he wanted to "opt-in"... so if there's any life-altering decision, its Dwight making them in a matter of hours. I dont want Dwight to leave btw.

Am I wrong for hoping the Magic trade Dwight immediately afterwards and leave him stranded in Texas; refusing to let him ride the team plane home?

I have a hard time believing that he really wouldn't sign an extension in LA with his fiance being from LA. That and having the opportunity to win with Kobe and Pau.

it's already come out from Dwight's camp that he wouldn't sign an extension there....Dwight's Agent has his eyes set on Brooklyn....so no Bynum.....Lakers would be stupid to give up Bynum for a rental...

People are getting too excited again. If Dwight actually resigns does everybody take back what they've said for the second/third time?

Still thinking we should wait it out. I haven't heard any deals with a chance of happening that actually interest me. We've been playing well recently, even the lost tonight isn't anything to be ashamed about on a back to back.

The "trade him for anything" crowd, just think about what's right for the team. Trading Dwight for crap would just be stupid.
