Actions speak louder than words. He opted-in and he fired his agent. That's HUGE! What's there to say right now? The Magic don't have a GM or HC. You expect him to commit right now? Responding to rumors only gives more power to the people making up these rumors. His silence means NOTHING.

I'm going with this as well. What is there to say right now. I wouldn't commit to a team without a GM or coach either. He's probably just waiting to see what we do before he opens his mouth again. It seems like he learned his lesson.

He never fired Dan Fegan did he? Am i wrong? I remember somebody falsely reporting a firing initially, but wasn't it proven as bogus?
A smart coach once said, "Potential just means you're not good enough yet." Playing on potential is like living on air: It's essential, but if thats all you have, you're eventually going to starve.

Thanks Zmill,


Maybe he is waiting, why isn't he helping with the process? I'm sorry guys, I would like him to stay but

1. He doesn't want to be here

2. Dwight is to me the girl you love but cheated on you but you took back..( no homo)

whatever happens be glad when the Dwight drama is over

I know it's being reported by Brousard and sorry if it has been posted before, but everyone but Lebron may be available. If Dwight is out the door, taking a run at Wade or Bosh would be a big possibility.

I hear this all the time in this forum. You guys need to get over the personal hurt. You put your emotion into the decision making process and in the process it skews your entire view of what's really best for the team. You lose your ability to reason objectively and react like hurt little boys.

Take your butt hurt emotion out of the equation and recognize that keeping Dwight and building around him (PROPERLY!) is our best option for winning a championship.

Walsh or Aldridge? Walsh has a tremendous track record, and made shockwaves by drafting Reggie Miller over much higher regarded college players like Steve Alford. http://hoopshype.com/general_managers/donnie_walsh.htm

Maggette (Expiring) for Hedo + 19th pick

J.Thompson + Garcia (Expiring) for Ryan + J.Rich

Sign Josh Smith + whoever next offseason... It's not the "quick fix" dream trades you guys want, but it's an actual plan.
