Dwight supposedly prepared to sit out next season with Magic (if he's still there).

    people that say this source has no credibility, are you guys high? Of course all this stuff is credible.. it's being fed by "camp" Bizzaro to get Bizzaro out.
    What has Bizzaro done to show us that he is a professional?

    He's just not worth the risk. Sheesh, I'd rather see what McHale could do with Javale McGee. I'd even rather see our present cast of Cs trying their best-- maybe they'll improve, or maybe we'll upgrade them in due course through draft, trade (Cousins, anyone?), or free agency. But taking on Dwight and bad contracts will merely make us into the Orlando Magic of the West, and have us picking 14th again, while still needing to get a C. Let's go young. Maybe our young guys will turn into stars. Lamb, Moti, Jones, all eyes are on you!

    If you can choose to sit out and get paid millions for it, what is the purpose of an NBA contract?

    It's not clear if he intends to go unpaid or if he'll just milk the back injury all season.

    Perfect...this just means that we dont have to give them Lamb or Parsons in a trade.

    With every passing day, they lose more and more leverage.

    Attitudes like this are what made the San Antonio Spurs give up Dennis Rodman for a nobody like Will Perdue.

    Dude at least in Football these kind of BS wouldn't stand. That's why unguaranteed contracts are the way to go, why are NBA players guaranteed more than NFL players who end up destroying their bodies in the long run?

    Tracy must be better that we give him credit for if he could lead the league in scoring and throw games simultaneously.

    LOL this is hilarious.

    Dwight is such a baby. You get paid millions of dollars playing baksetball and you pull all this crap to get your coach fired and yourself traded.

    Even if we somehow get him do you think you will resign with us next summer? No chance at all.

    Why do people buy this crap? Do you really think an NBA team doesn't have stipulations in their multi-million dollar contracts to keep things like this from happening without cause?

    Dwight will be on that court, day one, if he's still in Orlando.
