Kberto you are just preparing yourself for a very rude awakening.

Lebron, as much as i hate him, is a ring chaser. He wants to win. Dwight can care less about winning he is looking for more fame and attention. By the way, on what you base that lebron signed a 3 year extension because he wanted to leave cleveland??? Why did he signed an extension then? Your comments are senseless, but is appreciated.

I don't think you get the point. I know we are all upset about dwight cowardness but that doesn't mean we are going to tank for two seasons so he can get less money. He will get his money. I rather have a team that can compete still next year. I am more intrigued with this coming year and 2014 free agency than the 2013 as you are. If we trade howard, we can still get decent pieces that can later be used for subsequent trades. The walk away option as you defend so much is just simple crazy and dumb. I think , you are just too emotional.

We are not in the position cleveland was 2 years ago. Lebron was a free agent. D12 is opting out before his contract expire. Lebron was decent enough to play the full contract wit the team. D12 is walking away as a coward. Cleveland had already a first round pick from the clippers after a trade. Which ended up been the first round pick a year later and their own pick which was the 3rd overall. If we trade D12 to the nets we might be able to get a top 10. If he walks we would not get any picks other than our late round pick. Is rather trade him with hedo and duhon and open our cap space for this year free agency. Have you look at the free agents othet than D 12 and williams??? It is deep! We will do better by trading him. I dont care where as long as they take hedo and duhon or jrich. With this in mind, i dont mind the nets trade as long as the include the unprotected first, marshall and the expire contract if okur and hump.

I share that feeling. However, i did like that rumor of rhe knicks been interested. I take amare and chandler for D12, hedo and q rich. That has been the most attractive package yet. How accurate was this report?

How I currently look at our roster from appreciation to i just give a @@uk. 1. Ryan Anderson 2. JJ 3. Justin 4. Earl 5. Higgins From this point I can care less 6. Von Wafer 7. BBD 8. Q-rich 9. Jameer 10. Hedo 11. J rich 12. Hughes 13. That fat kid that we have as a back-up center 14. Duhon 15. D12.

He didnt say much. Much of the same. He believes the current team can win this year. He also said that the team is hurt and affected by D12 trade request.

Even Lebron deserve more respect. I know he was very disrespectable toward his city and, I hate him for that; but he did it because he wanted to win. Lebron is a ring chaser.. D12 is not. D12 is looking for more fame and power. Nothing to do with basketball. I like D12 for his basketball ability and how great he is at it, not for his sneaker or possible future movies or tv appearances. I rather see charles barkley for that.

If he really wants a ring then chicago, miami and OKC will make more sense. I dont think is about winning. New jesey???? Are you kidding me??? Dont buy it.

I just dont see D12 happier anywhere else. He would not be the guy in LA. He would not have any say nor he will be asked for any approval on any team decision making. Look what happened to shak and how he ended up leaving LA. And most recently what has happened to Kobe. He did not had any saying nor he was consulted when they moved Odom. D12 will have a wake-up call. He just want to continue been a clown and look into the movie business( which he fails miserable) and be Adidas puppet. He wants to justify his decision and is manipulating everyone. He is creating hopes on people when it appears to be none. He should go out there and tell people what he really wants and stop the hype if he truly care about our fans.

I like Dwight a lot, as a player and human being; but I LOVE the Magic. Let him be what he wants to be, eventhough I still don't get him. If he wants to finally leave, I will take the latest rumor of New York as a trade partner. Amare and Tyson for D12, Hedo and Duhon will be better than what we can get from the lakers and New Jersey. If jameer's opts out and we trade JJ and Anderson for a guy like Ellis or IGGy and take a true PG next year in the offseason we might still be a contender team. this is the list for 2012 PG's free agents Deron Williams, New Jersey Nets – $16.4 million – Player Option ($17.8 million) Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder – $5.1 million – Restricted ($6.7 million Qualifying Offer) Jrue Holiday, Philadelphia 76ers – $1.7 million – Team Option ($2.7 million) Steve Nash, Phoenix Suns – $11.7 million – Unrestricted Raymond Felton, Portland Trail Blazers – $7.6 million – Unrestricted Kirk Hinrich, Atlanta Hawks – $8.0 million – Unrestricted Jason Kidd, Dallas Mavericks – $8.6 million – Unrestricted Andre Miller, Denver Nuggets – $7.8 million – Unrestricted Chauncey Billups, L.A. Clippers – $2.0 million – Unrestricted Jameer Nelson, Orlando Magic – $7.8 million – Player Option ($7.8 million) Toney Douglas, New York Knicks – $1.1 million – Team Option ($2.1 million) D.J. Augustin, Charlotte Bobcats – $3.2 million – Restricted ($4.4 million Qualifying Offer) Jason Terry, Dallas Mavericks – $10.7 million – Unrestricted George Hill, Indiana Pacers – $2.1 million – Restricted ($3.1 million Qualifying Offer) Jordan Farmar, New Jersey Nets – $4.0 million – Player Option ($4.3 million) Leandro Barbosa, Toronto Raptors – $7.6 million – Unrestricted Beno Udrih, Milwaukee Bucks – $7.0 million – Player Option ($7.4 million) Goran Dragic, Houston Rockets – $2.1 million – Unrestricted* Jerryd Bayless, Toronto Raptors – $3.0 million – Restricted ($4.2 million Qualifying Offer) Derek Fisher, L.A. Lakers – $3.4 million – Player Option ($3.4 million) Randy Foye, L.A. Clippers – $4.3 million – Unrestricted Mo Williams, L.A. Clippers – $8.5 million – Player Option ($8.5 million) Jonny Flynn, Houston Rockets – $3.4 million – Team Option ($4.3 million) Keyon Dooling, Boston Celtics – $2.2 million – Unrestricted Greivis Vasquez, New Orleans Hornets – $1.1 million – Team Option ($1.2 million) Ishmael Smith, Golden State Warriors – $0.8 million – Unrestricted* Ramon Sessions, Cleveland Cavaliers – $4.3 million – Player Option ($4.6 million) Armon Johnson, Portland Trail Blazers – $0.8 million – Unrestricted* Sundiata Gaines, New Jersey Nets – $0.9 million – Unrestricted* A.J. Price, Indiana Pacers – $0.9 million – Unrestricted* Baron Davis, New York Knicks – $1.4 million – Unrestricted Royal Ivey, Oklahoma City Thunder – $1.2 million – Unrestricted John Lucas, Chicago Bulls – $0.9 million – Unrestricted Nash/Miller/Billups ANY OF THESE PG's and Dragic as backup Jrich/Liggins/vonwafer IGGY/Qrich/Justin Amare/BBD/Justin Tyson/Free agent Center We can even add another SG in the free agency. That is still a lineup I will cheer ON!!!

I agree with you, but is very unlikely to happen this year. However, as the season progress and the fact that next year is his contract year will encourage him to play his @ss off for the rest of the season and perhaps, more importantly, the playoff.

Perhaps you should...... :beatcomp: Enough said. Not wasting my time in a response.

I don't think STAN is at fault for that, However is the coach responsability to control the tempo of the game. He clearly is softer and has lost control over this team. I don't think the players are respecting him much anymore. I even saw the players getting directions from other players in a timeout. Stan is probably frustated about all the hype that happened with Howard this summer and how much Dwight dislike Stan way of coaching. Stan seems to be very soft at the moment. He was good before because of his temper and the way he controls the tempo of the game defensively. Looking at yesterday's game, this team is not a very good defensive team anymore, other than Dwight. BBD looks lost out there, Jason Richardson does know what to do with the ball other than shooting. Jameer is not doing anything creative. Clearly, Stan is just making all the players give the ball to Hedo and let him create. That is not a strategy. Stan needs to hire better assisstance coaches or else he is gone. I still think he is one of the best out there. However, I don't like the new Stan.

Is Pargo available? TJ ford? Arroyo? Iverson? What about jason williams? I heard he still in town and in shape. Truly our best shot is by trading for one and I am starting to like Calderon very much. There are really no many options out there. None of these are defenders. But again, jameer is a very poor one.

Jameer is not a bad player. HE is just playing lazy. Remember his best years in 2008 and 2009? The reason he was that good and made the all star game was because he was playing with pressure. He is clearly very relax. In 2008, we had another pg on the team that was making it very competitive. You remember this kids name... I think it was?? yes.. Carlos Arroyo. Eventhough we dislike him here, He was a true PG. They both were playing 24 minutes each. It was very competitive. Jameer even lost the starting positiion over this kid for a few games. He was playing with PRESSURE!. He ended playing his ass off. This year we have no one. Duhon is not going to compete with jameer. We really need a true PG. HECK.. ! I even take Arroyo right about now, just to make it a little more competitive. That is what he needs. He needs someone to pressure him. BRING A TRUE PG.. Pass first PG... just to back up jameer and take some of his minutes and pressure him to compete.

Agree. We have one superstars already and if he stays in, 2 years from now, we will have enough cap space to sign another superstar as well plus the contract of several great rookies.

Duhon with 26 points, 12 assists and 6 boards.... all againts him. :cheers:

D12 is really making people around him to decide where he wants to go. Last night I heard him say that he wants to go to a multicultural city and a city where he can grow his charity. WHAT A JOKE!!. Orlando is one the most cultural city in the world. Travelers come and go. From Europe to South america. Also, You don't need a big city to have a profitable charity. YOU CAN TRAVEL! and the web is also available. I truly don't get him.

Well, we need to still see how DUHON does against lowry...

Well, I think he is at his prime. Hopefully, he worked on his defense. Again, he should be ok aslong as Dwight is down the paint. He is fast and can be a decent defender if he works hard.

I still think he is better than what we saw yesterday. We need to give the guy some more time. It was just one game!!. Now, Duhon is another story...

Duhon: 1 point( a tech FT) 0/5 with 5 TO's and 1 assits in 24 minutes

Well, he was very good in chicago and did played well there. He has talent. However, he is out of shape and seems that he does not care. He is lazy and his working ethics are poor. He had potential. Now, He is a piece of crap.

All we need to do is get Kirilenko here and have him start at the SF position and have hedo come from the bench. Jameer/Duhon J-Rich/von Wafer Kirilenko/Hedo Anderson/Big Baby Howard./Big Baby. Trade Howard, Duhon and Hedo to New Jersey at the deadline for Brook, Okur and 3 firsts. Trade JJ for another first. We get 2 top 10 pick next year and we can go for a big and a PG. Jameer/pick J-rich/vonwafer/Higgins Kirilenko/Justin Anderson/Big baby Brook/Pick Not a top elite team but decent. We can later trade j-rich and Big baby for expiring or young players like OJ mayo/Clee etc..
