YaBoyR 62 Report post Posted May 22, 2012 The Magic need to pair him up with a helper in Smoove or Ellis. Gut the roster. That will help appease him. Its not about who can come here, its still him and the organization. Devos, Martins and others. It comes down to them. They'll have to make him believe Orlando is the franchise for him. He doesn't sound like a guy that's 100% ready to leave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYCmagic 15 Report post Posted May 22, 2012 There's some truth to it, but its not that clear cut. He's battling with a decision. He knows why he wants to leave, but he's asking himself why should he sign here. And his heart is in Orlando Well hopefully they can get Walsh to run the show. The guy some how got the Knicks under the cap which was an absolute miracle. I think he could definitely bring the leadership needed to calm this situation and hopefully get Dwight the help needed to keep him here and win a title.

30Assists 342 Report post Posted May 22, 2012 How are you going to get Wade without giving up Dwight? Never in a million years are Miami sending Wade to Orlando for anyone not named Dwight Howard. The only way Miami sends us anyone is if there was a bomb stuffed inside them. Miami has NEVER played nice with Orlando. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What we need now is a coach that has actually won a championship. Easier said than done, but this team badly needs a culture of winning - a coach that's done that would be ideal, but a nest of veteran players that have been to the championship (and won) wouldn't hurt either.

Completely agree but first you need a guy to hire that coach. Anyone think they will get serious with Phil? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah there's still time, but it will ultimately lay with what he thinks. Its a battle he has to fight with himself, I can tell its very difficult for him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the notorious S.A.C. 89 Report post Posted May 22, 2012 Well this offseason should be more interesting than our last Head Coach search..... where our first choice is still coaching NCAA Basketball. Holes: GM, President Head Coach Coaching Staff Starting PG Backup PG Starting SG Starting SF Backup Center Bench Player personell and someone who knows how to draft! ...... short list......

Bauncey Chillups 288 Report post Posted May 22, 2012 Dwight will be 32 when his deal ends. Unless he drastically declines he'll still get the max at that age. Roy Hibbert will probably get close to the max and Dwight at 35 will be better than Hibbert is now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Better DJ & Photographer 461 Report post Posted May 22, 2012 YBR, has Dwight considered that if he asks to be traded before the season starts that Brooklyn really doesn't have the pieces to make a good offer unless they draw a top 3? He will go to the highest bidder and could end up in Toronto or who knows where else but I know from experience that cold weather is not good on a repaired back.

I would hope he's already thought about that. Magic don't have to trade him to Brooklyn. Probably why those other teams came out today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
