if Orlando is so keen on dumping a bad contract they should just reconfigure a three team deal with the Lakers instead of doing it with the Nets.


Who would compensate the 3rd team for taking on our contracts, since the lakers have no picks?

No offense, but this theory doesn't really make a lot of sense. Why wouldn't Orlando just trade him to the team his choice, then?

Just got this from Twitter. This guy is on 1080 a lot, and he isn't known for spewing a lot of BS.

Now or during last season? If you are talking about last season then: because the organization and Dwight wanted to see if things would work out. or if you're talking about now then: they don't feel like Dwight or his people gave an honest effortso the magic want to go back on their word.

Justin Harper beefed up yo. I really hope we keep him. I'm telling people this guy can play man. He just needs the chance.

I also give credit to Rob. He is interviewing coaches in this whole entire crazy process. Respect.

For all you cry babies, This trade isn't as simple as "The BEST center for Brook Lopez?!"....

It's not that clear cut, Dwight WILL BE A FREE AGENT, and can leave any team for whoever has money (Dallas,ATL or anyone who creates space)... You never get top dollar in these situations, why would the entire league gut out their team for a rental?!

Be happy with whatever Rob gets us, he has a plan. Unlike that buffon Otis.
