The worst part was having to check Kyler's twitter to confirm, and having to look at his irritating face again.

Almost had me calling into a radio station just to confirm :nonono:

It's hard to tell now, since you've gotten rid of your sig.

I'm on board with keeping D12 if he signs the extension but c'mon most of the ppl on this board know what were dealing with in Dwight and his desire to be elsewhere and there are those who would rather see him walk out the door for nothing and be satisfied with him being the next Lebron in a "hated" sense. D12 doesn't care about that and you see how it worked out for LBJ.

If he isn't on board now is the time to move him if we get a good deal or can't bring a player in that he deems a suitable game changer. At the end of the day I think we should move him because going fwd how can we trust D12 being our franchise cornerstone. He isn't trustworthy and say he does resign with us, who is to say he wouldn't just ask for another trade if things don't go his way?

I don't think there is any room to use the phrase "c'mon" with Dwight's situation. There just is no way people here can know what's going on. As certain as it seemed Dwight was leaving last March, look at how it turned out. Some people here would've bet their house that he'd be gone. People just need to see how it plays out and stop arguing what they predict will happen one way or the other.

And you seem to focus on how it worked for LeBron. How'd it work for the Cavs. they have a pretty solid young core to go forward with. So letting Dwight walk is certainly a viable option.

And I think you're going a bit far in saying Dwight isn't trustworthy. Dwight's been frustrated, and rightfully so. If we can sell him on what we're doing in Orlando, and he stays, he's not going to be playing with one foot out the door. I think we can give him credit for that at least. He did pretty well playing with all the drama going on except maybe the last 2 or 3 games leading up to the trade deadline.

Really, I'm looking for any word that we're beginning trade talks. I've seen a lot about other teams, but nothing about us, besides the firings of course. Hard to get a sense of the direction Henny is going, especially when there's only one person in the front office. I don't expect to hear much.

I really appreciate the effort to try and find stuff, but maybe you can at least mention when they're probably not credible? That site is ranked like 2 million. His description is just self hype. He has no followers. It's pretty obvious he's a nobody. Just like when you quoted CWilliams. Quoting guys like that without questioning is how nonsense rumors get started and snowball out of control. It's just as bad as posting a fake quote. I've seen you post a lot of good news/rumor quotes on here, so I got used to the idea that they're likely from somewhat reputable sites/names, but now I'm having to double check after those last two... :-?

Orlando is now in the mix for Ray Allen. We discuss at 630 on #UNOSportsTonight

I wonder if the Magic move JJ or JRich, they could use another SG.

JJ, 19, + filler for monta and sign Allen. That would be a HUGE backcourt upgrade. Trade Hedo near the trade deadline as an expiring and we could have:

Dwight
BBD
(Hedo Trade) or 19th pick
Allen
Ellis

Looks good to me.
