Thus, the Magic just traded Dwight so they can tank in 2015?????


How? Dwight completely handcuffed us by giving a list of 3 teams with no assets. Any pick the Nets gave wouldn't have been worth a **** because Dwight and Dwill would have won games.


The Raptors pick?

Obviously the Houston package wasn't that much because Hennigan didn't take it.

What sucks the most about this is every other team involved in this deal is ecstatic except us...

AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE SAY "BYE BYE" TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE "JUMPING SHIP" U NEED TO CHECK YOURSELVES. I'VE BEEN A MAGIC FAN SINCE BEFORE THE SHAQ/PENNY DAYS AND LOVED THE NBA MY WHOLE LIFE BUT IF THIS DEAL GOES DOWN I WILL NO LONGER WATCH OR PURCHASE ANYTHING NBA RELATED. IF U WANNA CALL THAT "JUMPING SHIP" THEN SO BE IT. I'LL JUST STICK TO MMA AND FOOTBALL

Well, it took 45 parts to get rid off Dwight.

Dwight is better than Melo and Paul.

Yet, Magic got worse than either Hornets or Nuggets by FAR!

Hennigan for worst GM of the year honors. Dude is a true dumbass!

A better deal by the trade deadline is plenty of time for teams to up their offers.

Implying that what we're potentially getting back here is more than Houston's not "that much?"

I'm still hoping there are names or picks to be added, otherwise this whole thing doesn't make sense...

We got Harkless but I know what you are saying. Blame Dwight for only wanting to go to 3 teams with no assets.

Sack up, whether you believe it or not, Hennigan is clearly rebuilding from the ground up. That method can't be judged in the beginning, but in the end when a new core/team that is 1-2 years into bordering/inside luxury space.

Stay b itchy if you like that, stop going to board/games if you like that, but the rest of us are Magic fans through and through.

Any sense of intelligence tells you this was a 1-2 horse game in trading Dwight because of Dwight's b itchiness and leverage, not some Lakers GM who pulls magic out of his a ss. (Same with Nash likewise when he took trade negotiations lead and pleaded to Suns' owner/GM for the LAL trade).
