    Not newsworthy. Not threadworthy.

    Perfect off-season (Miami or Lakers get crushed in the playoffs):

    Parsons, Martin, Dragic (SnT), and 1 first for Dwight.

    Sign Williams for the max.

    Trade Lowry, Scola, Buddinger and a first for Bosh or Gasol.

    Re-sign Lee and Dally.

    Williams
    Lee
    Morris
    Bosh / Patterson
    Howard / Dally

    Everybody involved is coming off as a pansy.

    Dwight, Orlando Organization (who can't grow a pair).

    Everyone except Stan Van Gundy. Now he's a cool cat.

    Stephen A. Smith people....


    States something thats more than likely true anyways and claim's it to be coming from his "sources" as if its some sort of unspoken gospel.

    Dwight has been requesting a trade for the past 24 months. Why would this Summer be any different? Good work Stephen A.

    Um, Gerald Wallace and Deron Williams? Brooks and Humphries? That team would instantly lead the league in rebounding. You don't think they stick around if Dwight is coming? So what if they have to renounce Brook Lopez to do it; we all know that guy's career is over; same injury as Yao.

    I truly believe that Orlando gave us a heads up that Dwight was going to be out for the rest of the season (before it was announced) and since we were incredibly interested they asked Morey what we were willing to give up and that's why McHale has been coaching INCREDIBLY horrible so we can get another pick. Orlando prob. wants 2 picks and Lowry for Howard. Just saying, when it goes down you can go back to this post. There is just SOMETHING fishy about how we lost 6 straight when we were in such great position.

    Even if this rumor isnt true. Why the hell did he opt in? He should have just got it over with.

    To avoid being traded to Houston. I called his bluff instant I heard he was opting in for the fans. There has to be a story.

    Trade for Dwight and try to get him to stay. If he leaves after trading to get him we suck enough to get better draft picks.
    Win-Win situation. :)

    Just because he is a loud mouth does not mean he doesn't have good sources. SAS is the one who broke the Heat news, but no one believed him for like a week.

    If this happens, it's gonna happen lightning fast before free agency begins. Orlando loses all their trade leverage if free agency starts and Deron signs in Dallas or New Jersey.

    I'd rather keep Lowry trade for Dwight and get try and sign gordon. Lee would stay I think and be the 6th man think about that line up.
    Lowry
    Gordon
    Morris
    Donuts/pat
    Howard

    That team contends and is much better than this line up

    Deron
    Lee
    Morris
    Donuts
    Howard
    What u guys think? I'm dreaming lol

    At least then we could tank and get a good pick. I'd take that over our current status any day
