    Yes, me too. I'm looking to see what the Magic will do AND to see if Dwight's commitment will change. My opinion is that this is still Dwight's best place to play. New Jersey and Dallas are similar situations in that they are teams that need rebuilding, more so with New Jersey. The Magic need to obtain what we lost: backup big, slasher, and get Dwight the "Deron Williams" he is looking for. If they are indeed looking to win this year, Nash as a renter is worth a consideration. If Dwight says he still wants to leave, try to get Lin here ... It's a gamble, but a gamble worth taking if it'll get you 3 pieces and help us lose Hedo or Duhon. We need to shed one or both those contracts. If we lose Dwight, we need to lose Hedo or Duhon or BOTH.

     

    so jeremy lin is the answer now?

     

    what we need is 100% consistency & effort on defence.

     

    i think getting stephen jackson on the magic would be a start imo....

    Here is a little inside story I just got.

     

    For those who don't know, I sit low enough to hear and see all of the players interactions. Well, last night I didn't go to the game but my friend who we share seats with did. He is friends with some people, who know some people. Anyway, he and Jack (he is high up, and I'll name protect him in case he didn't want his name out) were in the Club at the Arena, when Dwight's bodyguard came walking in. They know eachother from here and there and started to talk a little bit. Obviously the Dwight staying/going came up and the Bodyguard said flat out "don't believe everything you hear, Dwight wants to stay, he really does." So they countered with well, why doesn't he just say so and whats the deal, etc? Again the bodyguard said he wanted to stay but there were some things that have started to get Dwight mad. He spelled it all out:

     

    Over the summer, prior to Dwight asking for the trade, he flew up to Grand Rapids to meet with DeVos about how he felt. He also had a few minor (I see them as immature but subtle) demands. 1- he wanted Deron Williams and/or Stephen Jackson/Monta Ellis (everyone knows this). 2- he wanted his personal trainer to be allowed to travel with the team and himself. This is something that DeVos, for whatever reason denied him of. Then Dwight said he wanted to change some small tedious stuff, like when he got flown to the All Star Game last year, the Magic flew him on their sponsor airline; Air Tran or Jet Blue, instead of on a Jet like the rest of the All Stars got. He said he wanted to be treated like all of the other "Stars" in the league pretty much.

     

    So, my friend and *Jack, (much like all of you now) said minus Williams/Jackson/Ellis, that sounded dumb and easily attainable. The bodyguard stated again that if the Magic got another any all-star style player and some things changed that Dwight would stay. *Jack is personal friends with DeVos, who was at the game last night, and asked if he could share this little story. The Bodyguard said "you can tell anybody you would like." So, *Jack went straight to DeVos himself at the game and started telling him what he had just heard. DeVos nodded the entire time and said that was an accurate story.

     

    So there you have it, straight from both sides.

     

    great info! keep it coming. actually made me feel a little more confident in d12 staying....

     

    i could see us getting jackson with the chances of getting ellis abit less & deron who knows...
