So JJ Redick said on the radio that the whole team was behind firing SVG not just Dwight. I told yall that **** months back.

Here's a link to the radio to interview. I haven't listened to it yet, so I don't know if it confirms the above tweet.

LMAO, That tweet is completely false. JJ praised SVG and he was pretty honest with his answers.

Says Dwight has a soft spot for Orlando in his heart. Thinks if the Magic impress Dwight with front office moves and roster moves, he could stay. He doesn't expect Dwight to be traded around the draft, but rather September if it happens. Says Orlando should keep Dwight and force D-Will to make a decision because if D-Will decides to leave for Dallas, that rules Brooklyn out.

Makes sense to me. Orlando should takes it's time. Tired of all these so called "sources" saying he definitely wants out asap. Get a coach such as shaw and bring in Pritchard or Walsh and try to fix this Dwight gave us this summer to do that. Let's just hope we do.

Do you think Gambino cares?

Yup. That's why he wasn't amnestied. I think that it was incentive based though. Like games played, ppg, etc... I'm not 100% sure which incentive's though since it was quite a while since Otis offered that stupid contract.

If this is true, then wow. Dwight is mad because Orlando 'forced his hand into opting in with the Magic." Are you kidding me?

Dwight is not a man. He is a child. There is something seriously loose in his brain. I'm starting to think that he is mentally unstable.

The writing is on the wall and the picture is crystal clear. Dwight has sabotaged this franchise and we're going to be feeling the effects for many years to come.

That's not what he said at all. JJ said that everyone on the team was responsible, not behind, the firing, by their inability to play well enough to be successful.

Redick didn't even say that. That dude terribly misinterpreted the interview. He heard what he wanted to hear. :lol:

lol they asked Big Baby to put a percentage on Dwight playing for Orlando next season... Davis said "100%" and "Superman" will be here. Either he's just throwing those out very loosely or he truly believes Dwight prefers staying over going.

I will make the following assumptions:

-Deron Williams stays with the Nets.

-The Nets are Howard`s preferred destination.

If Deron Williams stays with the Nets, he would demand a competitive team, no more one year deals that preserve the capspace for 2013. The Nets will have to spend money on free agents in order to be competive ( Gerald Wallace, Brook Lopez,Kris Humphries and Gerald Green are free agents) I would also think opening a new arena with tanking would not be beneficial.

The Nets would have to give long term contracts, therefore inhibiting them from the required capspace to sign Howard in 2013. To conclude unless we trade Howard to the Nets he cannot signed with them. The Magic should not trade Howard, I don`t care what the "sources" say, we should instead try to acquire the most capspace for 2013 and sell Howard on the idea of recruiting his friends.

YBR says Stan did not like Gortat, Pietrus, CLee, and Skip.

If true, this further strengthens my belief that Stan had a lot more say in personnel than anyone previously thought.

mm123 believes stan liked players like duhon, malik allen, jrich, and keith bogans
