Official Speculation Thread (Pt. XXVIII: Offseason Edition)

[arsenal6106]

Glad to hear that there is a dialogue between Rob and Dwight. There is a lack of trust between two sides and I think an outside mediator can repair it.

I still think Dwight wants to stay. If he didn't he would never have waived his ETO, and he would have gotten traded, played for a bum team for 2 months, and then walked to Brooklyn this summer. I think his heart is in Orlando, but his brain is telling him about championships and a "fresh start" in BRK.

Also, call me foolish, but I buy most of what YBR is telling. I've seen firsthand his proof that he has contact with Dwight. Whether everything he says is true is for you to decide, but he did prove that he talks to D12 about the organization at times. And YBR has never steered anyone wrong. He was all over that Monta deal before anyone else was and in addition to the Dwight ETO thing. Read what he says for perspective, as you would a column by Kyler, Rudolph, Berger, Amick, Woj. But don't let it be the end all be all of your judgement of a situation.

I'm curious as to what proof you saw...

I can back him on this, I saw the screen shots on TBN when he posted them quickly. Not saying to believe everything YBR says but the screen shots of his conversation with D12 are real

Eww! TMI

I'm pretty average with photoshop and I could make a picture that shows me and Jessica Alba talking and her saying I'm the best she's ever had.

It's all semantics, but nowhere will ever take screenshots of facebook/twitter conversations as an acceptable medium of proof due to how easily manipulated they are.

I guess we'll see how accurate he is these coming months.

As for YBR: Coming from someone who is friends with a top college football runningback who's going to the NFL (IN REAL LIFE not just on twitter) and was acquainted with Mickael Pietrus during his time in Orlando, I can''t imagine having any dialogue with them regarding their craft extending beyond "Are you going to ball out next game?"

To be honest, I know someone through business that works personally with both the Magic organization and the Magic players. Even he doesn't know what is going on when I spoke to him late last week concerning Dwight. He had his personal opinions but nothing better than rumors here. Which is why I won't print them. I won't believe anything unless that source is a Magic Player, Magic Staff or a player agent.

Besides, when I talk to him, it is more about playing ball at the RDV, talking trash about peoples games or something along those lines. But, I did ask him about Dwight, nothing to report at the moment.

That ain't him

[Ahmadab]

Would you guys do Matthews, Batum, 6 and 11 ?

I'm pretty sure he was joking around.

Not even Mathews, Batum, 6 and 11 then add in Aldridge would get Dwight. Give up, man. There is zero chance Dwight is going to Portland for anything on their roster.

[MoMM]

For Jrich? Sure!

[Def Swami]

I always feel like the tension on the board really rachets up during the draft week at least for the past 2-3 years it has. Understandably so. A lot of emotions involved in this from fans.

John Hollinger ‏@johnhollinger
Per @Chris_Broussard report, Ws-Nugs trade of Chandler for 7 works if DWright goes back to Denver.

Shannon J. Owens ‏@shannonowens
#Mavs asst coach Darrell Armstrong on his top 5 NBA point guards: CP3, Deron Williams, Jason Kidd, Westbrook and Jameer Nelson.

oh boy... guess we knows who's going after jameer in FA

Looks like that the deal that would send Nelson to Mavs for #17 makes some sense, huh? Darrell loves Jameer.

so denver can get the 7th pick for f'n w.chandler and we are trying to get a couple scrubs and the 6 pick for the best center in the league?? give it up man

Makes you wonder that if they strike out on D-Will, then they'll take Jameer as a consolation prize.

I say turning Jameer into any asset for us is a win. Not often you can get something out of an unrestricted free agent.

[BadMofoPimp]

Personally, Meer being a solid Starting PG that is expiring in this league is worth more than the 17th pick in the draft. Unless, the Magic can get a solid PG in the draft.

But, if Hedo is here next year, then I would just want a defensive PG to bring the ball up the court. And, I don't mean Duhon.

[cedric76]

any link yet for that press conference?

#Magic are all ready to go for draft night at team facility.

I wish the draft was today...
