I also claimed this whole time that no one knew Dwight's intentions/inner-thinking behind waiving his ETO.

Unless you were in denial this whole time, this should come as no surprise to you. Just work out a trade with HOU, LAL, LAC, or OKC and it's okay.

Another person owed an apology is Stan Van Gundy - best coach in Magic history ran out by a player whom never intended to stay in the first place.



SVG wasn't fired becasue of Dwight. He was fired becasue he opened his mouth and caused a **** storm. Alex like things to be kept in house. He also wanted a more player friendly coach. Stan, Otis and Dwight all need to go. 2 down, 1 to go.

This. Stan Van Gundy was the best coach in Magic history, but there was some major problems. He opened up his mouth to the media is number one and the other one is his stubbornness to adjust to the game. One reason I wanted him fired was because he played Duhon over Ishmael. Duhon shouldn't be playing over a box of cookies.

So, let's hurry up and get this thread to 100, because I have to leave soon. Although I could post it from my iPhone because I have unlimited Internet and Tapatalk. Screw this, take your time everyone!

Yeah, I know, it's just annoying. With news coming out like this these threads barely last 2 days, then there's always 10 pages towards the end wasting space (like I'm doing right now) talking about locking the thread. Just let them go on like TBN does. Then you have ONE place with ALL the information, not 32 different threads floating around. So stupid.

Nets, Hawks could reach a decision on possible Joe Johnson deal today, sources tell Y! If trade doesn't happen, Nets will push for OJ Mayo.


Sorry Dwight no money for you lol!

Doesn't TBN close them when they reach 1000 pages though?

Can't believe the Nets are going through with that. 31 year old SG Joe Johnson on a massively awful contract. Have fun Brooklyn.

That's Billy King for you......you guys thought Otis was bad?

This is horrific for the Nets, though.

The good news about this is that it will absolutely force Dwight to open up his list.

Lots of discussion floating around. Curry and Bogut for d12? Not sure if GSW will still do the rental.

It's Magical, so you know to take it with a grain of salt.

I would absolutely loathe that trade though. Curry is injury prone and so is Bogut.

I hope not, we'll be paying both of them to sit on the bench.

Exactly. My dream trade is Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka for Dwight Howard.

That Nash deal is hilarious. I mean he is good, but 12 million a year good? Hell to the no.

Since the Nets extended Gerald Wallace's deal to $40mil, 4yrs... him + Joe Johnson would pretty much ruin whatever rebuilding process they had in mind imo.
