Hedo opting out and not accepting Orlando's offer = +Vince -Lee

 

Orlando waiting Hedo out and doing nothing until he decides = possibly waiting your team out of possible improvements and completely destroying your leverage when bargaining with Hedo because now you have no other options.

 

The Magic waiting around for Hedo would be like meeting a good looking girl out at a party. You talk to her for a long time, you guys seem to hit it off, then you ask her if she wants to take off and go somewhere quiet, and she says "Wait a little while, I want to see what else comes along." So you tell her that you really want to hang out, and you are going to go talk to your friends while she makes up her mind.

 

Meanwhile, a couple other hot girls (some hotter than the first) come by and make a pass or two at you, only, you turn them down because you are waiting on the other girl. What you aren't noticing, is that one by one, these girls are all leaving the party with other guys.

 

Pretty soon, all that's left is a couple of fugly chicks, the girl you were talking to from the beginning, and 4 guys. Every single one of those guys wants to take home the same girl. The competition just heated up, and you could have been home alone with some other hot chick had you not had your head up your rear end earlier hoping things would work out with one girl in particular.

 

A bird in the hand...

Excellent analogy.

 

Not to mention, after a few romps the second girl will be gone and you are free to go after a younger girl.

 

While the first girl would have gotten clingy and stuck around for 3 extra years.

It's hard for me to get really angry about a comment like this because the whole thing sounds so much like crap.

 

It's one statement that came from "sources", followed by a lot of conjecture.

Fans are such hypocrites!

You're the same fans who say F Shaq, F Penny, F T-Mac, & F Grant Hill.

To Hedo's credit, he's about the only one who ever completed the alley oop to Dwight where he spins off his man. I'm not sure we'll be able to see that at least once a game without Hedo.

 

I don't know...I don't doubt Vince can handle it.

 

Its been a dream of mine, for a long time, to bring Vince home to Orlando. I even settled (for a while) for the poor man's version of Carter:McGrady...LOL.

 

 

poor mans carter??? T-mac?? Come oonn man be honest..or at least think before typing..orr do the research..

 

did carter ever lead the league in scoring..no.

 

Tmac did..twice

 

did carter ever sellected for the all-nba first team..no..

mcgrady had some seasons better than anything vince ever did, but when their careers are over carter will be viewed as the better overall player, mostly because of injuries but it is what it is

If so, it doesn't sound so serious. I have been checking his blog for a while now to see what he has been saying. Here it is...

Otis Smith does not need to ask Howard if it's ok with him so sign VC. That's just insane!

[Captain Hindsight 50]

lol at people bashing dwight over nothing. all he said was he was happy to get carter but sad to see his friends leave. how is that not being grown up about something. that's like your next door neighbor, whom you've been friends with for a while moves away and some smoking hot chick moves in instead. sure your buddy is gone, but there is more upside with the hot chick.
