If Dwight does get traded it will almost undoubtedly be to Houston. Especially if they move up in the draft some.

Sorry for so many posts but here is one last one from Alex Kennedy.

“@AlexKennedyNBA: Big-name players are surfacing in trade rumors. Here's the latest on Iguodala, Deng, Lowry, Gay, Gasol, Smith and more: http://t.co/z2tD2vAI”

It seems like every other team in the league has a good PG.

They tend to hold onto them though. If Nelson agrees to a trade, cool, but otherwise I'm not so sure we will be able to land someone with equal or better talent.

When is it in Dwight's best interest to sign an extension with the Magic? Is it after July 1st?

If nelson is traded I hope its to a contender. I could see him being moved to LA maybe Portland. Most teams have starting pg's but I can see him backing up on a contender. Hell, okc would welcome him behind westbrook.

I dont see Thunder spending so much money in Nelson if they have so many problems about salaries with Harden, Ibaka and Maynor.

They can stretch it out $2 million assuming they dont bring maynor back...forgot about him tbh. He would fit right in with the Lakers.

For anyone interested, Rudolph is going to be on the air with Kennedy on espn1040 Tampa from 3-7pm.

I think they can't actually sign until a little after July 1st (maybe 3-5 days after). I forgot the reason, but Martins said it on the radio a while back. But yeah, it has to be in July not June or else both parties lose a year.

After the season. The CBA really screwed that up.

Posted on ESPN on March 2012:

If he signs an extension before June 30 he’d add two additional seasons and be paid $63,004,761 through 2014-15 (this includes the option year 2012-13 on his current contract). If Howard signs an extension after July 1 he could add one additional season to his total, and be paid $86,936,802 through 2015-16.

Of course, we could roll the dice if he refuses, too. Our 2013 off season would certainly look more promising than this one.

That was our last guy with knowledge of our draft process the past month.

Good, I don't think he was doing any good. I don't like people losing their jobs and Foyle's a good guy, but he was an NBA player and isn't exactly going to suffer without a job.

I though Foyal was the one person in the front office hennigan would want to keep around because hes so smart and has been around the franchise for awhile.

I liked Foyle too but this team needed a serious cleaning. I don't blame Hennigan at all. I said from the beginning. Any new GM worth a damn would clean house. I like it.

Damn, Foyle is gone. Good see Henny isn't playing any games.

MAJOR props to Alex and DeVos family for allowing these firings. We've all yelled at them for not knowing how to run a team and always keeping it in the family, but they've smarted up and trusting this new GM to do work and make us a winning organization.

I salute you.
