I wish the people saying "Oh how crazy would it be if we traded Dwight, only to have him show up here as a free agent next summer! hur hurhurhurhurhur" NO.

Why the hell is this even being discussed? Even it's a joke, seriously? He's begging to be traded out of Orlando. I wouldn't want him to come back. At this point I'd rather have LeBron James here than Dwight Howard. Dwight's turned into such a tool, he's burned bridges with this organization and it's fans. I live close to Houston, I'll go to a game just to boo the **** out of him if I feel I must.

I think that's what happened, Rockets are just waiting what will happen with Lin and Asik, and Magic searches a HC during this waiting.


Not sure why Lin and Asik are holding things up. They supposedly haven't put pen to paper there yet, they could just back off and finalize the Dwight trade.

It wouldnt look good for them, IMO.

We need at least some veteran leadership. Our team can't all be 25 and under. Jameer isn't great, but he will still play hard and has heart. Plus, it's not like his contract is that big. Still gives us a ton of flexibility if the Houston deal happens.

BelgianMagic wrote:Is Hennigan on NBATV right now?

Can anyone summarize what he's saying for those who can't watch?


About Nelson : Very excited we could bring him back etc..

Anderson sign and trade : Hard decision wanted to maintain cap flexibility and happy with Ayon

Coaching : Finished first wave of interviews now looking at more in depth stuff

Magnum Rolle : Intriguing situation we'll see how it will play out

O'Quinn : Very nice to see how he's playing and he can be impact player who knows his role

Drew : Smart, hard working, efficient, extremely happy he fell to them, even joked that Drew sometimes says words that Rob can't understand :lol:

Dwight : Offers are on the table and they are evaluating them

Also Ish Smith : Still talking to him would love him back and he wishes him luck in his journey in the league.

Any free agents to target in 2013? I think Bynum will extend with LA, but if not, I say we give him a max.
