But what's the point of voiding the opt in? Brooklyn can't even sign him to anything other than the minimum, right?

Yeah, this has "basketball reasons" written ALL over it. Do it, Stern! :lol:

It's Bucher so I don't believe it for a second. What possible grounds would he even have to sue for. It sounds like the kind of BS reporting Bucher is known for.

New report today from Bucher earlier. Hopefully someone has a link to the interview within 12 hours.

Brooklyn can't sign him outright now, anyway...

look, howard has been a moron throughout this whole situation but are you guys really gonna believe everything that these "journalists" say about the guy? you're just gonna buy into whatever sourceless stories and corny narratives they're trying to build?

bucher "reports" something without any facts backing it and you guys just eat it up.

come on. use your heads. if any proof of bucher's claims come out, then sure, dump on d12 for suing the magic...but until then, wtf are you really doing?

They obviously broke an agreement to trade him to the nets if he opted in, so the magic don't lose him for nothing.

good for him

LeBron still had his supporters despite the decision though... I'm not sure if anyone still likes Dwight at this point.

I dunno, Dwight is being a bit silly about this whole thing but I do believe the Magic did pressure and guilt him into that 1 year extension. Should have just thought about himself only, would have ended this a lot sooner.

Nah, "basketball reasons" hadn't been invented yet at that point. Ex post facto laws n $#!+. :D

No way Stern allows a player to sue a team. They can't even complain about officiating.
