I'll be man enough to say it, I don't know what Dwight wants to do. Having said that, I hope we can convince him to stay. Stop letting your emotions handicap your decision making. Dwight hasn't hurt anybody. Only the homers were happy with the direction this team was going in. I'm happy, even if he leaves, that he essentially got the incompetence fired and replaced by what seems to be an intelligent front office. The owners would have kept Otis around if it wasn't for Dwight. Let that sink in.

I agree with this post.

Me too. BTW when are you gonna get rid of that terrible sig. I don't wanna see Otis Smith anymore.

I've been lazy lately lol. I will make another one tomorrow (maybe tonight if I can unglued myself from the sofa).

Was that in Orlando or Houston? Anyways, if it was outside of Florida, Howard doesn't have to wear Magic gear when practicing. But, by doing so in another state, he is showing his true colors to me.

Some of these Magic guys like Rudolph are going to become irrelevant once the sources dry up.

How can you hate a face like this?

Edit: nevermind, I'm now disgusted and angry.

Hakeem usually works out of Houston.

Not really. Then, they just make up some more sources. I am sure RealGM has been great as a source for many beat writers for years.

Andrew Nicholson is a hot name right now... a number of teams attempting to move up for him, and it's unlikely that he would fall past Orlando at 19...We hear OKC is one team that could be looking to add a mid-first rounder to grab him, with Eric Maynor as possible trade bait.

It looks like the same gym from the YouTube videos that I've seen of them practicing, which was in Houston.

Either way I really like that he's working out with him again, and this looks like a sign that his back is feeling better, which was a latent worry that I have had for awhile. I like the shorts, but I won't read too far into them until we know for sure and there isn't another trade request.

I wouldn't read into it that he hates it here and wants to be traded either.

Drug testing changes in the NBA: Players can now be tested for drugs/steroids up to four times during the season and twice during offseason.

Rashard Lewis: :-o

Dwight has done nothing wrong. Players every year play the game of pushing their teams to make things happen. Kobe did it. Is Dwight to be held on a superstar pedestal to where he has to smile while wearing a Magic jersey at all times.

There is a difference between wanting Dwight gone and thinking Dwight will be gone.
