    Anyone have ESPN Insider? I am curious to see what Hollinger said about the trade.

    What are you talking about? When did I even mention playoff? You truly think McFail would do a better job developing the rookies than SVG? smh

    Has Morey called Orlando yet to laugh at them over the phone?

    Thanks for reminding us that we have an average coach as well. I'm sorry but this city is a joke of a sports town. We waited almost 2 decades for our football team to get back to the playoffs. One playoff series win for the Rockets since I was 14.

    Reports have Dwight joining Kobe and the Lakers. But the Magic didn't get nearly enough in return.

    I know Orlando could've gotten a slight better deal, but it's not like Orlando was going to get any great packages or offers for Dwight (who allegedly is not signing an extension with anyone) that already takes most competent teams out of the picture. Because, you cannot trade valuable pieces for a guy who is going to walk away from your team in less than a year.

    As of 10:50 PM, he said that he would have the last laugh. I sincerely hope he's right bc this ish couldn't have ended in a worst way.

    They weren't in a position to play hard ball and get what they wanted after how it went down, imo. Good riddance, I think, though I was curious.

    Happy with things the way they are for now.

    I just don't get it; if we had the better offer, why didn't Orlando just work with us?

    I really, really wanted jopatmc to be right.
