seems like Rob is setting solid pieces in place can't argue with that......but it's funny though me thinks that getting a guy who's expertise is drafting same as robs means that we might make some noise draft night.....could we be moving up? or could we be putting the final nail in the Dwight era by trading him for the Best Value?

Same here. Not really feeling the whole rebuild route. But if we must, then so be it.

You are not the only one. I hoped the Nets would get the top pick so we could trade him for a different franchise player, but since that went out the window he is by far our best option. It doesn't matter how good the front office is, chances of there even being a franchise player outside of the top three picks is very very low.

I'm sure the majority of us want to keep Dwight i mean just having Dwight alone makes you a 50 win team but if he isn't down with the plan and wants out then it's a bit redundant don't you think? This is a business and you have to look after #1.....I would love to believe Dwight's heart is here but IDK....you hear the rumors....rumors that could be easily addressed by Dwight himself if he feels misaligned....but it's very quiet on Dwight's front....to me that silence means something....Tough to sell the idea that Dwight doesn't hear the rumors.....

I want to keep Dwight for sure. Especially now that we have a GM who can possibly keep Dwight without adding Horrace Grant and Vince Carter on max contracts.

Good. We need to be patient when it comes to a franchise player like Dwight.

Hopefully Henny has a strong idea of a big time deal to make during the draft not involving Dwight and he is just going to go balls to the wall and hope Dwight buys into it!


Then afterwards with Monta in tow he looks at dwight 8-) whos your daddy now

Me personally want everything done to keep Dwight here. But as Alex has said, the decision is Howards to make. If Dwight wants in, I feel this FO is capable of bringing in solid to great players. Team Otis, no faith at all.

If Dwight does want out, I trust Rob to get the best deal available. I would never had trusted Otis to do the same, since he wanted the Nets deal centered around Brook Lopez.

I just feel we have a good FO now, whether the direction is with or without Dwight Howard. I hope it's WITH.
