Have you noticed aside from the initial reports of Dwight wanting out again, the media really isn't obsessing over it this time? I think even they are sick of it. Or am I just immune to it all now and just not noticing it as much?

Not sure. For me, I'm immune to all of this now. At this point, I just want something to happen.

Same here. I just want us to be able to move on from this and be able to focus on the team and talking about basketball again.

It is pretty simple decision to make with dwight. Trade dwight for another star or trade dwight with big contracts like hedo+jrich+dudu. If you cant get either, then let him walk. Bynum or Lopez would keep the magic alive at the 6-8 seed for the next 5 years.

As much as I want a resolution, we must stay patient. This trade will affect the direction of the organization for the next 10 years.

I don't think you understand how bad the rest of the roster is. If we start Duhon, we're not going to win more than 30 games next year; and that's even stretching it.

@ thelead- Oh absolutely, I completely agree with you. This is why I'm glad Rob Hennigan is our GM. I'm sure he has a plan regarding this situation and will put this franchise in the best position to succeed

Dwight is going to screw us... Or at least try. He says he won't resign with anyone but one team (presumably the Nets). I want to see what he says once they have no money for him next summer.

Lol. Oh boy. **** the nets. Haha

Hey, I didn't know Woj went to the same school as Nicholson.

He makes what Lebron did elementary. Just get rid of him already.

He actually spoke out. Time to say bye bye to Howard.

We have to hold onto him until NJ spends away their cap space. Only then will we be able to move Dwight elsewhere.

I can just hear it now, all the raukus chants of "Orlando hates you" when Dwight comes back. Hope they would show the game on TNT like they did for the LeBron return

Dwight really is a piece of ****.
