No he didn't. JRich just cloned himself and is backing himself up. Genius strategy to implement as he gets older. Split the minutes!

Man I love this thread so much :rofl:

Reading from page 55 to now is the greatest thing ever. Such a roller coaster.

So if we keep him, he'll retire? He's gotta sign somewhere. If Atlanta and Dallas are the best destinations that he can sign as a free agent... I don't care how outlandish you think re-signing Dwight is, but a lot can happen to convince him to not go to those two spots. A team with a roster as talented as Brooklyn or L.A. would for sure get him to go there. But Atlanta and Dallas, we can compete with.

gotta give it to you. you have been saying things could change from the beginning. I still think they want to trade him, but you never know how things will go.

You're welcome

Every top player on that list will probably get an extension this coming season or next summer. Or they won't even take their player option. In fact I'm willing to bet my life savings Wade, Bosh and Lebron will all either not take their out or they will just to get a longer extension with the Heat.

I will take you up on that bet..Bookmarked 8-)

Yup, after all this news the past 24 hours I really believe @ChadEvansNBA is legit. Looking forward to this Dwightmare ending. I don't know if I still want him in Orlando...hopefully he expands his list.

Lol, I put J-Rich twice. One is hard enough to trade. Two? Dang near impossible.

We reengaged with them to tell them we were done engaging with them.

so far it's been a fun day here to day

Maybe we could trade Jrich to Phoenix? They have a lot of capspace, need a SG and Eric Gordon wont go to Phoenix.

Well, if it comes down to it, we will see if dwight would rather be in Dallas or Orlando

If anything we could trade him to a team under the salary cap for an expiring contract or 2nd round pick. Hedo would be the one I'd try to attach to a Dwight deal . Hedo and Doo Doo will be much harder to move than J-Rich or Big Baby

JRich is repped by Fegan....

Still don't understand , are we here to make all his clients happy or win a championship? We wanna clear cap room and J-Rich can easily be moved without Dwight being involved .

He said they're still talking to the Nets, still talking trades and have not suspended any trade talk -- he clearly made a promise to Dwight to work in good faith to send him to his first choice as long as it's a good trade for the Magic.

So he's a stand-up guy and they did just that, while pursuing other trades too. Now he's saying we can't make it happen because the trade is not good for the Magic.

A) He's doing what he said he'd do for Dwight and making a legit attempt to satisfy Dwight and satisfy the Magic.

B) He's building trust and a personal relationship with Dwight because the Magic probably still hope to repair the relationship with him.

Sounds logical to me.

Sounds like B.S. to me. Howard can not be trusted. Howard could care less about Hennigan, the Magic, OR Orlando and the fans.

Cuban has been pretty smart in all of this. He still has all the ability in the world to clear a TON of cap space for next summer to recruit Dwight AND one of his buddies to go play together in Dallas you know. Atlanta is doing similar things. Both could be very appealing spots for him. I think he needs to be traded, the risk is too large that he jumps ship.

Idunkonyou2 · Post #1219 » by **Idunkonyou2** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 8:52 pm

Lakers are capped out. Nets are capped out. Mavs have cap space, but they will only have Dirk who is getting pretty old. We were the other team on Howard's list and we will have cap space next year and possibly in 2014. So basically Howard will leave us for the Mavs (and 30 million on the table) or stay and believe in Rob to build a team around him.

J Rich/rights to Fran for Martell Webster's unguaranteed contract.. Let's do it Big Rob
