Not shocking with how Minnesota wants to make an offer for AK47

 

[AF.]

And Dwight still hasn't chosen a team. I hope he gets booted from the NBA for being a twat.

Dwight has some leverage, but the reason the deal isn't done is because Orlando's being patient waiting to get the best offer they can get.

 

[PHX]

I don't blame the for not rushing into a deal to be honest but it gets dangerous if they go into the season and he's still there and still doesn't wanna stay there because if the deadline comes and no on break their neck get him before then then comes them either having to settle for any little deal so they don't lose him for nothing. So imo they gotta either trade him or somehow get him to stay before the regular season starts.

Hennigan & Co. are in Los Angeles right now trying to convince Dwight to stay. I honestly don't see why he's so against it. This isn't the same team that he was on and disliked before. The entire coaching staff is gone, as is the entire front office, aside from Alex Martins. I don't see him having a problem with ownership, either.

 

[PHX]

Idk if it's part of why he wants out but they are in kind of a crappy situation with some bad contracts they got and can't really see them being able to improve their team without him being traded. Front office wise though yeah idk why he would wanna leave.

Wasted like 7-8 years of his prime career basically ala Penny, Shaq, and T-Mac maybe

I don't know, the story is that Dwight bitched at Hennigan for not trading him sooner. And that's the funniest thing I've heard this week. The guy pouts for a year, demands to be traded, then opts in for 2012, then completely blows up his current team's leverage by demanding to be traded to one team and one team only, and then has the balls to complain that they didn't do exactly what he wanted when he wanted it done. This saga is the best thing that could've ever happened for LeBron's public perception, it's even better than the championship for him. At least LeBron's saga only lasted an hour.

Too bad the stuff that Dwight is saying is not being aired on national tv like LBJ's decision. I live in LA and people don't even care about Dwight's image. Hell only hardcore basketball fans, and Orlando Magic fans really will hate Dwight for this. I don't think the regular public would care.

Kaleb Caneles is out in Portland, Terry Stotts is in as Head Coach.

Interesting, but Paul Allen was very much into Stotts.

So now we wait. Now is the period between free agency and pre-season where nothing goes down (other than the olympics). Anyone think Dawhite Howart gets dealt before the season starts?

 

[PHX]

He should get traded before the season starts as they need to get out of this shitty awkward situation asap but at this rate nah looks like this shit is gonna go all the way till the trade deadline.

Looks like the Dwightmare will be coming to an end.

A four-team trade that would send Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers is complete, multiple sources told ESPN on Thursday night.

A source with direct knowledge of the talks told ESPN.com's Marc Stein the Lakers will receive Howard, the Denver Nuggets will acquire Andre Iguodala, the 76ers will receive Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson, and the Magic will get Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic and one protected future first-round pick from each of the other three teams.

In addition, the Magic will be getting other pieces, including 76ers No. 1 draft pick Moe Harkless, a source told Stein.
