    Vander Weide was on Magic drive time this afternoon and described the phone call. Apparently, it was on the down side of a social gathering and Dwight had been sending him texts, but he didn't say what the texts were about. Rather than waiting until the morning when "business should be conducted", he called him that night while he was still buzzing. Supposedly, it has no impact on his relationship with Dwight.

     

    I'm not sure I believe the story, but take it for what its worth.

    This seems to be a secondary topic within all of the Dwight threads, but it's deserving of its own thread. To all of the capologists and CBA experts, what changes will be made with this new CBA? Which changes affect us the most? What stipulations are in place for some of these new features (i.e. can't amnesty a traded player)?

     

    In another note, I'm back after a long hiatus from the forum. Good to see the same old faces.

    It has been awhile, but I'll throw in my two cents.

     

    I don't think we would ever move Howard to Miami. They have no picks for future talent and as much as some might say, Lebron for Howard straight up is not a fair trade for Orlando. I'm still under the impression that we have some big moves coming up in the future. Starting this season with the same roster says little to Howard that we're trying to keep him considering the meetings he's had with the front office about which players he would like to play with. I think the big question this off-season is whether Otis can find a trade that will make the team better.

    i'd doubt it

     

    You're right about that. I took a look at the amnesty rules that were used when it was previously implemented. Supposedly, the amnesty only provides luxury tax relief. So we could drop one of our bad contracts (we still have to pay him) and save the luxury tax money we would pay, but it doesn't provide cap relief. From what I understand, the amnesty could be used to reduce the payroll from being in the luxury tax down to the luxury tax line, but not any further. I'm sure a capologist could provide a better explanation than me though.

    I've been running into this problem for awhile now. I assumed it was a website issue and everyone was experiencing it. It wasn't until I found connection by linking through "around the NBA" that I realized the website was even up.

     

    I'm running windows 7 using firefox. This has been constant for at least a week or so. The top level forum index still doesn't load and the only way for me to navigate is by using links to the sub forums through google. The orlando magic discussion board loads occasionally, but the other forums seem to work.

    For the record:

    When do we start becoming concerned with Arenas?

    DOM

    Well for me, it was when they announced we were trading for Gilbert Arenas.

     

    How this applies directly to judging the trade is beyond me. Eyriq was discussing Arenas' efficiently that was discussed in the article. Arenas has shot inefficiently over his entire career, so DOM's comment reflects those concerns. It does not knock the trade itself or provide a Shard vs. Arenas comparison. Stop reading so far into a simple comment.

    As far as Turk playing the 4, I don't think that will continue when we have a back up center. I'd like to see more of Turk and Anderson together though. The author discussed Turks' numbers being down because he's playing with Bass and not a stretch 4. Anderson could give us a Turk/Lewis combo that was deadly in the playoffs a couple years ago. Outside of that, another thing I wanted to point out is that J-Rich has been in a shooting slump. I don't expect that to continue, so the numbers when he's in the game should start getting better offensively. The defensive stats I'd expect to get better the longer they play together. Great find OP!
