Dwight says his preference is to stay with the Magic and 'start his own path'

Its exciting to hear these statements from Dwight.

 

I know he's been saying stuff like this, but it seems like its a bit stronger wordage, which brings comfort to the Magic fan.

Only problem is that the pieces that could have got us a big talent were wasted on Hedo and Arenas. It will take magic to get another big time player in Orlando.

Don't know if it's been posted yet, but here are some tweets from David Pingalore, which means you need to take it with a grain of salt, but news is news, right?

So there. If true, it looks great for Magic fans, but like I said. It's Ping, so it's probably wildly untrue.

This is a rumor that David should only be right on, whats the point of twittering something like this if it is not true? Any creditability that he has left would be completely gone if he is not correct.

[Trey Time 186]

For the love of Tebow this better be true.

If Dwight does sign an extension now I believe that either Otis will be gone and the team will try to "start over" or Otis has something planned that blew Dwight's mind and will blow everyone else's mind

 

 

 

it's too damn bad this off-season is 100 years long and nothing's gonna happen and it's crap and i hate it and why can't it be over already this is driving me insane WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

PING HAS MY EMOTIONS IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND.

 

ORLANDO, Fla -- Magic center Dwight Howard spent the holiday weekend working on signing a two-year extension with the team, sources told Local 6 Sports Director David Pingalore late Monday.

 

Sources said the deal is all but signed by Howard. On Monday, Howard held an impromptu Memorial Day party for his Twitter followers and fans.

 

"I just got tired of everybody asking me 'Where am I gonna go? Are you going to stay? Everybody in Orlando is asking me'," Howard said. "So it was like, you know what? I want everybody to get their minds off something that is not gonna happen."

Here's to hoping he's actually telling the truth this time. We all remember draft night... :(

[Chase 209]

Well, the contract is on the table. Nothing left to do but wait.

i just opened my computer and cleaned off some dust that was completely blocking the fan and the temperature went down a whole 10º

[Ibn Battuta 127]

If dwight signs the extension, then it's time for a new direction, GM-wise.
