If you thought Melodrama was crazy wait till the "Fight for Dwight" starts this summer.

Seems like Ric Bucher and others have found out that Dwight turn down signing an extension with the Magic which is weird.

As we saw with Melo signing an extension was the most important thing to him because the CBA is changing and he will stand to make way less by signing a new contract with the Magic after CBA. He can't really demand a trade as we saw with CP3 players with two years left have no power vs players with one aka Melo.

So the writing is on the wall Dwight is leaving Orlando unless they win a championship.

So what team do you feel Dwight is going to?? Here are the players.

Lakers: Inside Ric Bucher has said there are two teams Dwight wants play for Lakers were one of them. Dwight would be in a bigger market but more important he would be on a contender with teammates who know how to win. This would have to be a trade since LA has no cap space. Only problem for a player who hates to be compare to Shaq he would actually be running to Shaq's shadow.

Boston: a team that seems to already be preparing for life beyond the big three. KG and Ray contract would be off the books and if they extend Jeff Green. Boston line up could look like Dwight, Jeff,Rondo and Pierce. That's not a bad line up but the problem Orlando will want something in return and this only works if Dwight signs as a free agent.

Nets: The other team Ric Bucher said Dwight was interested in was the Nets. Dwight was pissed when he found out that Deron had been traded and the Magic did nothing to get him. (Fairness to Otis who predicted that would happen) reports later came out that Deron and Dwight had agreed to play together after the 08 games. Deron suprised the NBA world when he said he was willing to sign an extension with the Nets two weeks ago and more suprising he wants something to happen soon as the cba is settle so his contract is not a distraction. Many writers think do Deron and Dwight have an agreement already (wade and Lebron) for Deron to commit. The Nets have everything a team want rebuilding need. 7 first round picks. Brook and Kris would be the key pieces and they are also able to take back one of the Magic bad contracts.Hedo likely. One problem they are in the same conference. Stars are usually traded out of the conference.

Magic: Dwight could stay with the Magic problem is they have totally fucked up their cap space. They traded for two of the worse contracts in the league. Gilbert who has fallen out the rotation in the playoffs. Hedo who has regressed since signing his contract with the Raptors. Orlando is so messed up in order to get better they would have to trade one of their young players. (Nelson Bass or Ryan)


So where do u think Dwight ends up at?? My money is on LA

lakers or clippers, depending on the cba maybe even a small market team with talent like the grizzlies....if stern follows thru i see big name players going to small market teams with talent that can develop through the draft and honestly i dont see him getting traded since if stern gets his way and based on the melo trade u will have to gut ur team....i think he will leave a free agent... the time of superstar trades is over unless its superstar for superstar
 
what about that young center the Clippers have, I forget his name I think it's D'Andre something?
 
He's going to Brooklyn with Deron, Jay-Z, and the Russian. Sucks for Orlando, but Otis fucked that situation up.
 
Peace,

I'd love to see Portland pick him up. They could move both Andre Miller AND Greg Oden (:smh:) off the books, and in 2013, Camby's contract is up.

Not really Orlando has to trade him. The thing is Otis Smith is stubborn as hell. He has said he isn't trading to the Lakers no matter what. I doubt that but then again the guy who actually trade for Gilbert Arenas because they are friends is a guy u can expect to make bad decisions. His decisions are more personal than logic. He brings back Hedo the guy he said he didn't want to let go but the owners didn't want to pay (yea right). I can see him actually trading him to the Nets to save his pride but Lakers make sense.

Plus this keeps LA window open a lil longer

yup clippers got pieces to satisfy orlando in a trade....
d'andre jordan, eric gordon, a small forward, mo williams and picks....orlando could do a rebuild job instantly with the clippers parts....clips would still have a decent team and pairing him with griffin would be nasty...

then he goes to clippers... they have talent to move and picks

Key thing in this is what Dwight wants and unlike Melo situation the cba will be resolved. So if Dwight wants either LA or the Nets he will get them because its still a contract extension. This isn't Denver where they tried to rape teams. Orlando will have to go with what Dwight wants and hope they get something as well.

Only reason I'm not going with my team is because the Nets are in the same conference. Other than that it makes more sense. Picks, young players, Deron and able to take back one of the bad contracts. Again if Otis isn't fired I can see him doing a Nets trade
 
I just hope that if he leaves Orl, he goes to the West and not the Lakers. There needs to be more big names in the West.

i look at dwight's personality...dude wants to be liked by everyone... nets have cap room but other than deron what else? avery totally fucked up lopez and brought his value waaaay down....the nets really have nothing in terms of talent other than lopez, they got picks but if given a choice between d'andre jordan and eric gordon i can't see a good gm passing...

plus clippers are out of the east, so dwight won't have to face the magic like that maybe once or twice...i think dwight would be fine with either la team but the clippers r compelling...once kobe retires a strong clipper team could run things plus with griffin, howard won't be abused every night in the post... if he's traded he's going to a team with another quality big man...lakers got pau, memphis has zack, clippers have griffin......

besides the clippers r crazy enough to pull the trigger even without an extension...

nets could get him but they'd need to come with a compelling package that will have to outdo the clippers...and based on the clippers actions they try to get into every big star trade or signing...
 
nope celtics have to get more talent
if kg and ray and pierce go then he's basically moving from orlando in florida to orlando in boston.

:lol::lol:
dude what are you smoking!!!
pierce is signed for 3 more years.
and KG and allen are going to re-up after next year (at half salaries), for 2 more years to end their career. that is why ainge did not sign perkins. The money will all go to sign howard!!!

1)Rondo
2)Allen
3)Pierce
4)KG
5)Howard

Again Beeii u failed to realize Orlando will want to trade this guy again. What do Boston have to give up. Also Ray and KG both said if there is a lockout they would likely retire.


See Creed you are still talking as if Orlando is Denver. Orlando has no power again this is about getting as much as you can. Dwight will have the power so if Dwight is on some Nets or Lakers shit it is between that team.

The Nets can give Orlando everything they want. Take one of the bad contracts. First round picks and Lopez and Kris. The only thing is there in the same conference which why my head tells me Lakers.

Also if Otis is making the choice he might pick the Nets to spite everyone saying he will be dealing with LA. Though LA is the logical choice. Out of the conference see him only twice a year.

As for LA Lakers have proved they can build championship teams around two different players. One Kobe the other Shaq. If you are Dwight you don't even trip about when Kobe retires because as the Lakers already shown they can build a championship team.

thanks for clearing that up he's blinded by his loyalty to look at shit objectively

in order for him to come now they'd trade the talent and it would make no sense
if he came in free agency the big 3 are about to retire so it would make no sense
any way it goes he won't be a celtic
don't mean to crush dreams, but he wont be going there

howard is a free agent "after next year(2011-2012)"
he will not be leaving orlando at the end of this year in a trade!!:confused:
he will be choosing his destination.
 
When's the last time the Nets went to the finals?
When's the last time the Blazers went to the finals?

:rolleyes:

Let's be more fair complex when the last time the blazers won a playoff series:lol::lol::lol:


Again Blazers have the 7th most expensive roster in the league and they are still a lower seed playoff team????? Man

As far as the Finals go....at least we DO have a chip!!! Ya'll do not!! Fuck da ABA!!!

^^^^ My bad, this was meant for Killa Kadafi

He is going to do what KG did. Choose his team by trade. He still has power. You actually believe the Magic are going to let this guy walk for nothing and end up like the cavs???? Hahahahahahahahhaah

Come on. Your smarter than that
