David Baumann and Jarrod are reporting this: Solid sources indicated Vander Weide made 1 am phone call to Dwight Howard in recent days. Vander Weide was thought to be intoxicated. lol good move BVW

Not sure if it is mentioned yet but David Baumann says the Magic will hold a press conference today some time.

31 Really? well he looks young and he didn't look that old when I saw him killing us last season in the playoffs. My mistake

Yall are crazy I would love for us to get Jamal Crawford. If the Magic are willing to do a sign and trade for that price I would take that as a sign that Dwight had him on his short list. Jamal might not be a super star but the boy can score and thats what we need. Im tired of seeing us go after these old 2 guards who can barely move let alone help us win in the post season. If we do a sign and trade I believe Otis will also try to land Josh Smith by trading a couple of pieces.

So it looks like Deron is trying to recruit Dwight to the Nets. Quote from Hoopshype He sounded like a guy who likes the organization. John Schuhmann of NBA.com tweeted the key responses from Williams in the interview. “My plan is to stay. Hopefully we can get some good talent to where I can stay.” D-Will says he talks to Dwight often & says that’s the one guy he’d love to play with, but doesn’t know what Dwight’s going to do. Williams is asked what’s the % chance he stays with the Nets: “I’d probably say like 90 percent.” NBCSports.com Sorry dont know how to post the link.

ummm Im confused just logged in and saw that we are getting foye, then read that Jareth tricked us so are we getting foye?

lol I think its so stupid that you guys care who starts a Topic. If it's a good topic dont get your panties in a bunch just roll with it.

So basically after spending 10 minutes to catch up on this thread, i found out that Race Trak coffee sucks, People that live 90 miles away shouldnt run their mouth about Basketball, And obviously someone loves Darko. Thanks guys im gonna hang myself now

I'll play just let me know when and where

SO HAPPY I WORK FROM HOME LOL

Cant wait for the Draft. Hopefully Otis realizes this team needs some help and gets something done. Im rooting for the Josh Smith trade. Like I said before watching him and Dwight on the same Team playing defense is gonna be crazy.

Yea I agree with you bruh, We cant keep repeating the same steps and expect something different. We need a young guy who can create his own shot not someone who is on his last leg.

I wish we could atleast keep Jameer as a back up but unfortunately its time to part ways. If Jameer would have been more aggresive and consistent with his scoring him and Dwight could've been really dangerous.

The magic actually have a couple of good pieces that a lot of teams would want, Jameer, JJ, Bass, Anderson, Orton, Q Rich. Im not saying they're star players but all of them have something they can offer to a team trying to compete for a championship (Maybe not Orton but he's a big so he could get interest)

Man I hope we trade for Smith. Im not a big fan of him chucking threes but to watch him and Dwight in the post on Defense would be crazy. We would easily become the Hardest team in the league to get to the rim against. Dwight was a beast already but give him some help and it's over.

Hey I figure if he can do it so can I. Check out my new Single "Hot Shot" (Not about Dwight Howard lol) I'm a Christian Rapper so if you dont like it just put a ... when you cant control your mouth. http://youtu.be/21lHXhclcb8 Thanks, God Bless! Klasiq

Hey Jareth, I knew I could count on you lol

For a bunch of posters saying he got what he could get is crazy. What about IIGY hes been on the way out of philly for almost 2 years now. If we would have thrown Gortat, Vince and Pietrus we could have gotten Iggy and Brand possibly. Im not saying IGGY is the next Kobe but he'd be perfect here because he attacks and is not sooooo great that Dwight could still be the first option.

I'M GONNA PUKE OUR OFFENSE IS SO HORRIBLE. I PLACE A LOT OF BLAME ON THE PLAYERS BUT MORE BLAME NEEDS TO GO ON SVG. HOW DO YOU LET YOUR TEAM JACK UP THAT MANY 3'S AND MISS THAT MANY WITHOUT CHANGING THE GAME PLAN. YOU WANNA KNOW HOW YOU GET SHOOTERS TO DRIVE TO THE RIM, YOU TELL THEM EITHER THEY DRIVE THE BALL OR THEY'RE GETTIN PULLED FROM THE GAME. IF THEY WERE HITTIN THAN STICK WIT IT IF NOT SWITCH IT UP. IS IT JUST ME OR DOES JJ REDDICK LOOK LIKE THE MOST ATHLETIC PLAYER ON OUR TEAM BESIDES DWIGHT, WHAT A JOKE J RICH SHOULD SLAP HIMSELF AFTER THIS GAME. I DONT CARE WHAT OTIS HAS TO DO HE NEEDS TO GET US A 2 GUARD OR SMALL FORWARD WHO DRIVES TO THE HOOP AND CAN CREATE HIS OWN SHOT. I KNOW IGGY'S ON THE MARKET SO THERE'S NO EXCUSE. FINAL POINT... OTIS TRADED WASHED UP VINCE CARTER FOR THE SAME TYPE OF PLAYER THAT IS A COUPLE OF YEARS YOUNGER. IT DIDNT WORK LAST YEAR WHY WOULD IT WORK THIS YEAR.

Im not gonna sit here and say that the Season is Over and that we don't have a chance. But like a lot of you have said we have a lot of problems on this team that need to be fixed. First off SVG is a really good coach and I do believe that he has improved the Team from where it was. But If a Team keeps losing close games and the same excuse everytime is that they're not playing hard enough and need to improve their energy for all 48 Minutes then face it people that is a real problem. A coach is supposed to bring the most out of his players. It's like any Job if you Respect your Boss, Like your Boss, and Trust your Boss with the Direction that they're leading you then you'll want to Work as hard as you can to gain they're approval and Make them look Great. That is just not happening so there must be some kind of disconnect behind the scenes. Second Our defense is horrible because SVG wants the Players to play Team Defense all game. He needs to put some more responsibility on the wing defenders to play good 1 on 1 defense. I don't care how much someone sucks (You're in the NBA) Step up your game and make a play. To be a decent defender all you need is Effort and a little Heart. This team plays Lazy on D because they know that if they're man gets past them then someone is gonna be right there to pick up their man. Great concept but what this does is always leaves someone wide open for a jump shot. Third problem is Dwight. (Before you break your computer hear me out) Because we have such a Dominant Center all of our other players play Soft. When J-Rich was with Phoenix he drove the ball to the Rim half the time. Since he has been with the Magic I think I've seen him dunk Once. Look at Carter, Arenas, Turk, Pietrus etc. Something about playing with Dwight turns every player we have into strictly a jump shot specialists. Im not blaming Van Gundy or Management on this one. Just because the team is set up with 1 Big Man and a bunch of good jump shooters doesn't mean that SVG'S gonna bench a player if he takes it to the Rim for a Dunk, Easy lay up, or a Foul. Dwight can't fix these but his presence is what causes it. Not saying lets get rid of him or nothing like that (Calm Down) Bottom line We need more Heart. Call me Crazy but I would much rather watch a team that looks like they're busting they're A** every single night win or lose than have a team that can win a Championship but doesn't have the Fire to get it done.
