Wow...something's really changing in that man...and I LOVE it!♥

Pls tweet her and let her know how ORL feels about dwight

It's only a matter of time before she carries his child and he dumps her. He'll probably try to go back to Mary Carey now.

Just tweet her...even if it is small...let her know how we feel...it will get to the PRICK

Anyone feel like this whole article by Rudolph is sketchy?

Yeah I'm taking all of this with a grain of salt right now. It's really hard nowadays to decipher who is telling the truth and who is just trying to get lucky with a story.

Hopefully we hear from Rob tomorrow to get more details about this supposed meeting. I also hope we get a new head coach in here really soon. That and resolving this crap with Howard will be the dominoes that need to fall before we can finally make basketball moves with this roster.

Not to mention the article mentions Hennigan did not even have a game plan to make us into contenders? I call major BS. This Rudolph guy pisses me off.

Hate to say, but today has got to be a serious turning point in any Houston/Orlando negotiations. Letting this get out was a serious mistake by the Magic. ESPN, Rudolph, etc sources is one thing, but when WOJ says it, its hard not to believe.

There is really no reason for Houston to offer anything other than a minimal package for Dwight Howard anymore.

Exactly. I'm with you about Rudolph. Never liked him from the start and he is just further proving that he is nothing more than Dwight's butt buddy and is probably a part of "his camp." Dwight's peeps are going to do whatever it takes to badmouth our franchise so that management is bullied to send him where he wants to go.

I think Howard is using melo as his model. Name the destination, dissuade everyone froim bidding wait for your reward.
The purpose of the meeting was howard attempting to tell hennigan "he is the one who knocks"

Sadly hes right
I think our best hope is that bynum comes out and says he would be interested in re-signing in houston and then pulling off a 3 team trade. Outside of that, i see us getting lowballed with any other from not til the trade deadline

I seriously doubt Magic officials leaked all of this out. This whole thing reeks of Dwight's camp but you may be right. I'll wait to actually hear from Rob Hennigan himself before I decide how to react about this.

Not that much, you still have to leverage an offer that's better than just reaping the benefits with Dwight as a Magic one more season and to block LA or another west team from getting him, and more importantly, getting a player LA would take for Bynum in a trade. I still think Lamb, TOR, DAL, HOU picks are on the table, and in some days next month, all the rookies are trade-able again and the leverage game could take an upswing as it's countlessly gone up and down the last year.

For clarification, Houston has no picks of their own they can trade...only the ones they have attained from trades themselves (i.e. Toronto's pick). They have Tor+Bobcats 2nd+Knicks 2nd+Dal; they probably offered Tor+Dal+Bobcats (don't know if the knicks are really worth mentioning)

Highlight the above link and select "youtube" (not available in quick reply)

That should do it.

Edit: Why can't you show vids? I believe I was able to show vids when I had that many posts. Did real gm change the rules?
