I doubt we have many Dwight fans left anyways. It is hard as hell to root for the trash that Devos orchestrates though. I am serious when I say I will not spend a penny on this team (jerseys, tickets, etc) until the Devos' sell the team.

As much as you guys dislike Dwight, it's really all on the ownership group. I've suffered through plenty years of **** Warriors ownership/management before boycotting the team for good until they got sold. I think you have the right idea, it all starts at the top.

lol at your username. Devos doesn't have many years left, but his family does. We're hoping he sells.

Man I am speechless.

Dwight Howard is about to be traded for a package featuring Aaron Aflalo.

Morey must of lowballed the **** out of you guys.

I honestly don't care at this point, I'm happy to see Dwight go. I will not join any fire Henny bandwagons until a year from now. We have to give the guy his chance. He deserves it.

And we are actually trying to suck, you guys realize that right? Because we are trying to get a top draft pick for next year, where Hennigan will really shine. He knows how to find the diamonds in the draft, from what I've seen of Nicholson and O'Quinn so far is only positive considering their draft positions and who was drafted after each of them. Yeah we have a pile up right now of PF types, but I have faith in Hennigan. Don't be so quick to judge, just be happy the Dwightmare is over.

This probably has to get approved by Devos and 8 of his children first. They'll prob say no. Or, again...maybe this is a super strong bluff of Henny trying to get HOU to up their offer. It just makes no sense. What EXACTLY do we gain here? What?

What the hell beef does everyone have with Devos? Granted he sells Amway crap, but he has not been shy about shelling out bucks to try and win.

All of our problems have started and ended with the decisions made at the GM level. We are literally in the third circle of GM hell right now. Weisbrod...Otis...Hennigan...Isiah next? Has to be. Unless he is at the very bottom.

Something is not right about this.....

Harkless is a good SF project whos probably alot like a Ariza and Vucevic is a solid center prospect. we will tank and tank hard we shall

Lets see here:

Denver gets Gallo, Chandler, Mosgov for Melo
Utah gets Favors, Harris, unprotected top picks for Deron
Orlando gets Affalo and role players for Dwight

I for one don't buy it. There is no logical reason for Orlando to take back that group of players....especially Harrington. I will reserve judgement until the final details are released

Damn if this goes down then all i can do is laugh.....we really are the most trolled fanbase.....i need someone to explain to me how this deal can in any way be a decent deal......i just don't see it....any way i look at it i see us getting screwed and not in a good way....i mean the non-consensual way

He is the one who hires bad GM and surrounds the team with people who know **** about basketball.

Yup. I honestly would take KMart+ toronto's pick over this deal. Or KMart, Parsons and Lamb.

If the rumored deal happen, I know nothing can replace D12's value but you guys got pretty good players in Harkless and Vuc.

Harkless

Harkless also doesn't have a broken jumpshot like MKG. And from the videos I've seen, Harkless looks like to have a slight advantage with his handling. Harkless had 16pts 10rbs 3stl and 3blk against Kentucky and a 30pt 13rb performance against Duke.

Vucevic:
I've always like him. He's a very skilled big man. Who averaged double double and 1.4bpg in 30mpg for 76ers last year. He also has great length and good agility for his size.

I'm not being a homer but IMO you guys got a better Players than what the Rox where offering.

I can't imagine this is real, but in the event that it is, this is the worst trade in NBA history, and it's not even close. Otis, who was a really bad gm, would have gotten us Lopez, Wallace and the number 7 pick for Howard. That blows this one out of the water.
