Dwight just cant help himself. He is an ahole, will never grow up, and will prob go bankrupt when he retires.

Dude is stupid and an idiot, and deserves to be fired (even though he will still get his money, and brings to question as to why Phx was dumb enough to sign him to a milti year deal to begin with), but writers love to be holier than thou, same with the Manziel story, the biggest most blown out of proportion story in sports right now.

I for one am really excited about having another major league team in Orlando and I hope everything works out like it seems to be doing.

This is awesome, I was waiting for the news. Soccer is our last legit shot at a second team and this looks to seal it up. If MLS is true to there word we will come into the league in 2015. Congratulations to OCSC on the stadium deal and pending major league status. GO CITY.

I am really happy about this. MLS soccer makes sense in this city. Tons of sense, and the owners seem competent and want to win.

I am so excited , i know for fact many people from Brevard county will hold season tickets. In this area soccer has exploded and we are producing very good young talent.

Not letting go of the past? You are on RealGM. People here are still angry over Stevie Francis, Mobley, Duhon and losing Deiner amongst a myriad of things.

Ive never been a big soccer fan but my wife is and so I just recently started paying attention to City. I'm stoked about the new arena and the possibility of bringing a second pro team to Orlando.

I am going to hang with my Jags fan friend for this one. I am not sure if we are doing Winghouse off Michigan or heat up to Gators Dockside in Casselberry. But, game day is definitely on.

Losing Diener is when all our championship hopes went right through the window. There would be no reason for stupid trades, Dwight would never leave and we'd be talking dinasty here now.

Everyone on RealGM thinks Magic nation proclaimed and recognised Diener, but little is known that it was Dwayne Wade who first came to revelation and call him Lord Diener, after Diener saved him from a vicious attack of killing birds in college. True story.

Some highlights:

At about 12 minutes. Lots of Magic talkin. Said Harris is a baller.

What are your thoughts on making the playoffs Harold? "Uh, we want to take is slowly..."

Says to watch out for Doron Lamb, he is really developing this summer.

Also mentioned how great was AA

Also of note, said Afflalo was the first one to give Oladipo a call when he was drafted.

Anyone see the Insider piece on under 25 squads? They ranked all 30 teams on their players under 25. We were like 13th or 16th I think. Pretty weak IMO.

I'm worried about peaking too early, we have a really solid team right now and our young guys are going to come into the season improved. I really hope we unload some of the vets, go after the playoffs next year, and then strike in free agency in 2015.
