There's plenty of coaches that would love to coach Dwight even if it were only for a week.

Really...Name some GMs, Coaches & players

NO! Anthony Davis is overrated. He will not be even close to Dwight. I would like to be wrong because I would like to see more superstar bigmen, but I don't see it in him.

I would do a Davis/m-brooks/lopez for Dwight/he doodie/doodie. Then flip rich for an expiring

I think the Magic don't want to deal with the crap we went through this past season over again. I could see them just giving up and trading him if he doesn't sign an extension.

Hey, there you are. I don't know if you saw what I said earlier, but, do you wanna join my association? I haven't made it yet but I probably will on the weekend. Then I'll set the date when enough people join.

Yeah I just saw it man, my bad for responding late. TJ and I are already working on getting a league together right now and already have eight people down to play not including ourselves. If you want, you can jump on with us and I'll get the league created by this weekend. You down?

I don't care if the Nets get the #1-15 pick in this years lottery. I don't care if they sweeten that pot with any of their players or offer us hush money, I don't want any part of Nets. I'll keep Dwight no matter what. Business sense, having Dwight on this team is more lucrative then having anyone in the lottery. Not to say that those guys aren't going to be amazing but Dwight is an amazing center and while his image took a dive this year, he's get back there as long as his head is in the right place.

If he wants to go, yeah. Davis would be like starting over with Dwight at age 19. Not a bad place to be if forced.

Yes sir! You know it! Just let me know when. You should probably leave a spot for Igotdamagicinme too. He wanted to join my league, but I'll just join yours.

Orlando Magic Daily ‏ @OMagicDaily

Glen Davis is going to be a really good asset for the locker room next year. Horace Grant theory, I'm telling you. He grew a lot this year.

Davis/Howard in the front-court will be great... we just need a coach who understands weak-side spacing for conventional bigs... and of course High-Low offense/plays.

Davis can already do the Pick n Pop/Pick n Roll very well, and Davis is a decent passing big man. So it should be easy to implement a High-Low scheme with Howard & Davis around the blocks and elbows.

If that's the case, if Orlando is willing to give up so quickly and not build around him when the pressure is on then this team will never win a championship. Orlando have got to be patient, they have to do something to show him that they are serious about winning a championship and with him here.

Off season moves:
Fire SVG and Otis immediately
Hire either Jeff Bower or Kevin Richard as GM
Nate McMillan as head coach
Hope Jameer opts out
Do not resign any existing expiring contract currently on team
Sign and trade Ryno
Sign D Will and D12 to less than Max contracts like Miami's 2 1/2 did
Fill out with veteran guards and forwards ready to win which is so very easy because they are so many to choose from

I could give u a abundance of players

Alright I'll let you know on XBOX Live. We are still debating on whether to do a fantasy draft or just run a league with regular teams straight up.

I like dwight, so I'm partly in this camp. . .but what if he decides he wants out again? Not to mention the back injury. . .its definitely something to think about

I would honestly prefer fantasy draft but it doesn't matter to me.

No to Bower. He sucks. Nate is just as stubborn as SVG, so no there. Jameer needs to NOT opt out so we can trade him or at least use him for one more year. It's going to be tough to S&T Ryan. DWill is going to sign somewhere this offseason and we don't have the money for him until next summer. The rest, I'm good with.

I'm that one person that wouldn't trade Dwight for Lebron James or Andrew Bynum. I know people think I'm foolish for it, but I seriously believe that if we will properly build around him, it will be something special. I know there is a lot of things to think about but players who elevate their game every year, without it being a contract year are players I think you don't get rid of if you have him. And for this to be his only franchise, he has more ties here for wanting to win a championship then for anyone else to come here and try to do the same.
