LOL at the Nets! 75+ million for a 5 players.

These message leaks are doing my head in, on 1080 they are discussing the organisation being the unloyal ones and Dwight being the victim. I hate stuff like this, its clear it takes two to tango and we already have taken care of the organization side by firing Otis and his crew and even Stan, Hennigan has nothing to do with anything before he was hired, we have a new mentality and fresh style of professionalism, whether Dwight is behind these messages or not the media needs to understand this.

Be honest has to make you wonder some things about Magic did you hear how SVG was fired, he was at the office all day and when he got home and got a call from Alex Martins firing him, you have to look at everything as a whole not saying that Dwight is right either, we just don't know all details and D12 has been there for 8 years so don't pin all the blame on Dwight.

[Blue_and_Whte]

Whatever....I just hope we trade him soon and that Lamb, Toronto's pick and Parsons are part of the deal.

According to La Opinion de Malaga, Fran Vazquez turned down an offer from Fenerbahce and decided to sign in Malaga.

Wow, Humphries getting 2yrs/$24M from Brooklyn

DWill - $20M
JJ - $20M
Wallace - $10M
Humphries - $12M
Lopez - $15M

$77M starting lineup

So there is ZERO chance of Dwight going there in FA or even in a trade with us. How the hell do you make a trade work between BK and magic with that roster and those salaries. Unless we took back brook and that is never happening.

I can totally see Dwight sitting at least half the season with his "injury".

Why the hell did that guy ever declare for the draft.

Are the Magic the only NBA team that has yet to sign a free agent from another team?

[AdamTheGreek]

Fener allegedly offered 2 million Euros per season. He's going to Unicaja for 1.5 million. Took less because his wife wanted him there. It's home.

He didn't. Euro's are automatically in the draft after a certain age. The story goes that Brian Hill and Twardzik fell in love with him and never saw him play or worked him out. There were reports out the day of the draft that Fran did not have an intention on coming to the NBA anytime soon. But smart Otis listened to Tward & Hill and drafted him.

Why would we want to when we are going to rebuild. In order to rebuild you have to do the following.
#1 - Amass a collection of talented young players and draft picks
#2 - Allow those players to develop together.
#3 - Once they have developed to the point and are approaching free agency you target the best players in the previous years free agent class and go after them.

So signing anyone right now would be foolish in the long term future of the Magic.

No, it really doesn't. We don't know the actual circumstances around SVG's firing, but I know Alex and he doesn't work like that.
I also don't believe Dwight when he tries to play the victim here. He's immature and can't be trusted.

[Blue_and_Whte]

What a damn coward. He has the tools to be a good NBA player but he's scared to live in the US and play against the best. What a pussy. Good riddance.

[TheMagicOne]

I bet JJ gets traded to a team like the Bulls after we make the trade of Howard, especially if we trade with Houston and get KMart.

Yeah there has been questionable actions from the front office theres no doubt about it but again it's all word of mouth. However this whole Dwights either a victim or a villain here is as well as the organisation is ridiculous. Everyone knows the media is 90% bull but they are really going all out for this to be like a reality show.

I would guess Henny hasn't wasted too much time on this subject though.

That's a shock.

[BadMofoPimp]

So, Frans wife didn't want to come to the USA for $3mil?
