I will offer you this: We're going to find out very quickly what the Magic's true intentions are. It's time for the TRUTH to come out.

he said Orlando's real intention is to not trade Dwight at all.

Cleveland would get Bynum, ORL would get Varejao + picks. Everything is held up because Orlando doesn't feel like trading him.

Would you trade him when your return is Anderson fukkin Varejao?



And I still think Dwight ends up in Houston. Best package in return to Orlando. Henny's a (so far)

They could have been traded him to Houston. Im starting to agree that Henny is just really reluctant to trade Dwight for what ever reason.

If this was otis, dwight might be traded already.

Lol at Varejo and picks being a good deal. How do you give up the most between the 3 teams and get the worst back & not even 1 starter

Because that's not what they want. Apparently they want draft picks and expiring contracts.

At least with the most recent deals Orlando would actually get expirings, picks that actually have value, and not a role player signed to a max contract.

 

[G.O.A.T]

^ They should just let Dwight walk after the year if they really just want cap space for the future. From that deal they're not getting a good young player (e.g. Favors, Gordon) or even getting rid of Hedo's contract.

If that's what they're looking for why wouldn't you just deal him to HOU straight up already?

They don't want good young players, they want cheap young players so they can tank and be a top lottery team.

The issue with trading him straight up for Houston is that they wanna bleed Houston dry and Houston isn't willing to give up everything to get a guy who has said there's no chance in hell of him staying there. The smartest move Houston could make would be to get Bynum (who is open to staying there) and while the Lakers get Dwight.

By multiple accounts they do want to keep Dwight and force him to walk but their their fanbase wants him gone.

I kinda hope Dwight's still with the Magic on opening night to see if Magic fans have heart.
