Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning part II?

Jameer has been a good leader on this team and probably finally called Howard out for his actions.

If Howard does get traded to the Lakers, I expect Kobe to eventually break Howard. He is mentally weak and Kobe will have none of that.

Wow, I just saw that about Meer and Dwight almost fighting at the practice facility during the season. The magic are good at keeping things quiet because that type of thing never has been heard before. smh

Dwight probably just told him the truth that Jameer has been the reason why the Magic haven't been able to win. We ALL know that PG has been the biggest issue with this team.

Good luck to jameer in whatever he does and if he did in fact called that pansy out on his garbage, good. He has always been a good leader and a great sportsman. Unfortunately he isn't the most physically gifted guy in the world like Dwight... Can you imagine Dwight with jameers demeanor and personality? He'd be the best player in the league by far. Sadly, he is just another prima Donna who is too afraid to be a leader...

If jameer does leave, good luck, you will always have a place in the heart of most magic fans...

The same cannot be said for that jackass wearing a fake superman cape

Fighting a 5'11 guy? Why not? It's not as silly as trying to sue the Magic as a result of your own retardation.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

IF you want to assess point gaurd START with Jameer not having a decent backup. I called Jameer out in another thread but what I didn't take away from him was that he did the best he could in Stan's slow offense system which kills point guards. Jameer survived stans system so I give him his props. Then move to him having Duhon as a non legit backup causing hedo to play point forward.

He didnt seem to break Pau or Bynum who are both soft (one mentally and the other physically)

In case anyone wanted to read where it came from. (meer & D12 issue)

http://www.hoopsworld.com/orlando-magic-prepared-to-trade-dwight-howard

This is just the latest in a string of events that have caused many within the Magic organization to grow tired of Howard. Several of Howard’s teammates are hoping for his departure as well. Toward the end of last season, Howard came close to a physical altercation with teammate Jameer Nelson at the Magic’s practice facility. Howard was sidelined with a back injury at the time, but nearly came to blows with Nelson for unknown reasons, according to sources. The two players had to be separated.

Nobody in the Magic organization wants to go through another drama-filled year, which is why all signs point to Howard being traded sooner rather than later.

Jameer would be boxing Dwight's manjunk while Dwight would be swinging at thin air.

Who was mentally soft between Bynum and Gasol? Gasol was always at an allstar level. He is not a 1a option though. He needed that other guy and he got it in Kobe. Bynum is well Bynum. He proved this year that he is a 1a guy IMO when healthy. With out Kobe the guy was arguably putting up the best overall stats at the C position. He still needs a lot of work when it comes to his maturity and defense, but with the right coach and surrounding teammates, I think he will eventually get there.
