Possibly, but he can't be traded for some time right ?

Sources tell me that Jacque Vaughn will be the next Orlando Magic Head Coach which may be disclosed to the public by this Friday.

Wow! I didn't see this one coming.

Take it easy, Francis. You're overreacting to what was essentially constructive criticism.

By the way, is that really the excuse you chose to use? You type what is essentially a wall of text and then the explanation for not separating it for easier reading is that you have arthritis, and it's presumably too hard to hit the return key? Then you freak out when people tell you it was too hard to read?

Well, welcome to the Internet. Enjoy your stay, expect feedback, and don't take it so personally.

Yes. Rudolph is a Dwight Howard fan first, a New York Knicks fan second, and a Miley Cyrus fan third. That's it for him.

Rudolph also has a huge crush on Martha Sugalski. Can't blame him.

What?

Not listening in at the moment, but if D12 extends and stays and wins here, he will garner fan support again. I do believe that.

But if Rudolph is insinuating that he'll leave and be welcomed back at any moment again by fans then..................that's a different story

I agree 100% on both of these points. It's all up to Dwight.

I have no ill will toward D12. I don't think he's gone about this in the smartest way and I think his agent is punking him. There's blame to go all around for this imo, between the Magic front office, D12, and Fegan. But at this moment, it's simply just business. If D12 doesn't want to be here, fine. He can move on, BUT, we're going to get the best deal possible out of him. It's nothing personal, it's just business.

I tend to agree, but I do think he needs to shoulder a more significant part of the blame. Whether he's been the one that has transformed suddenly into a primadonna, or he is simply too impressionable and following exceedingly bad advice as to how to approach the situation, it is on him.

Yes, management should have put a better team around him, but it wasn't for lack of effort or spending. Henny was brought in to right the ship; I do feel the smart thing would be to say "ok, show me what you have planned and how you get there" and then evaluate from there. Hiding in LA is not the way to score points with the fans or with management.

Got a feeling Rob is straight shooter. They're going to get a coach before re-visiting the D12 situation. Conveniently, they'll have a coach by the time the Rockets know whether the Bulls have matched Asik.

A source close to Dwight Howard tells me that Dwight is fully prepared to sit out the entire 2012-13 season in Orlando.

I admit up front that I have on idea who this guy is, but I was told on a different sports community that he broke the Camby to Knicks and Lewis to Heat stories. And, if you notice his profile background, he's talking with RG3. So, take it for what it's worth.

Oh, and be prepared to have popcorn ready.

Dwight is not coming back. You guys are nuts if you believe that is a possibility. I don't know why you would even want the piece of garbage back anyways. Sure he is the best center in the league by far but he is a terrible teammate and is proving to be a pretty sketchy person in general. Get him the hell away from this franchise forever. Please.

Is it wrong that I am enjoying this tangent of the thread more than the Magic speculation?

Sources tell me that the Magic are prepared to fine or suspend Dwight for any games missed except due to injury or a family loss as long as he is a member of the Magic

Of course he is, Dwight gives him so called "insider info". If Chris Duhon was giving him info and keeps Rudolph relevant, he would probably argue that Duhon should start as PG for the Magic and him not starting is reason why Dwight wants to leave.

Skip was saying some bad things about Dwight on First Take today.
