    The last time our GM listened to the clutchfans response after a Summer Leage/Preseason game we ended up with Cato for 6 years.

    Well, we're not as desperate as most think. Our future is bright either way.

    I think we just won't do the trade in that case. Sign a PG and some guys to get us up to minimum and roll with the Rebuild. We have enough young talent to justify it.

    Unless Orlando doesn't trade Dwight until Motiejūnas is available. It's only three more weeks. They're not in a hurry and Motiejūnas may be the reason.

    Screw Dwight, his bad back, and bad attitude. Play the young guys and let them grow. D Mo has me excited. The guy has a TON of potential.

    Daryl Morey is hellbent on signing Dwight Howard because our chances of signing Chris Paul next offseason are infinitely better with Dwight Howard than with Chandler Parsons and Patrick Patterson.

    I think this kid might be the only one on the roster that might be untouchable. One thing is for sure.. Theyre not getting Lamb and Donuts. Parsons, Jones and Lamb should be plenty enough.

    our top 3 performers in these next 4 games will most likely be in the dwight package, so I wouldn't get too attached

    Once we officially land Howard, Morey will trade Motiejunas for Josh Smith.

    Doubtful. D Mo is the perfect 4 to pair with Howard. He's young and on a good contract too.

    Exactly why Les would want to deal him. He's got some sort of weird fixation on established veterans. Les doesn't seem to think young guys can bring wins and playoff berths. Well, he doesn't seem to want to take the time to see if they can.

    D-Mo is good. But let's see more games before making conclusions. I am optimistic about him nevertheless.:)

    LIke Cwebb said...Dmo set a standard for himself. He has to play with a high motor every game...Game recognizes game...and for CWebb to get excited...should be a real compliment for DMo

    And what makes you so sure of that? Because Hennigan has acted as such?

    There are only 3 teams that can remotely even play the game. The Lakers, Hawks and us. The Hawks would obviously have an inferior amount/quality when compared to what we could offer. And as long as Bynum stays steadfast in his refusal....we top the Lakers as well. Especially when you consider our picks and the ability to take on salary compared to the Lakers (which is supposedly the mindset of Henigan, which makes sense considering where he came from).

    The Magic aren't going to roll into the season with Howard. That would be an absolute disaster. They have to get something done this summer and we are the ones who can give the most, not even considering Donatas. Hennigan can act as cool as he wants....those fans want him out the door/Howard wants out the door and the longer they wait around, it seems, the more precarious their situation to get maximum value gets.

    So we're gutting the whole team so that D-Mo has a training partner for the next season or so?

    smh
