I agree. I'm sick of hearing about it....seems like it's been going on forever.

Not sure it'll take that long.

I think he's too easily driven by emotions. They beat the bulls and heat and now he's wanting to stay. They'll lose to Charlotte and he will want out.

Multiple Orlando Magic players have told Yahoo! that Dwight never addressed the team, and certainly didn't say anything about his opt out.

This is not a championship team. Too reliant on the 3, too reliant on Dwight to go 20/20, and not good enough perimeter defense.

Also, their cap situation sucks.

But Dwight needs to STFU and if he's so pissed...opt out if he wants to and quit being such a bitch about it all.

Exactly. Dude is trying to please the fans by making that statment. He's as good as gone, all hes doing now is holding the Magic hostage. If I were the Magic I would make him sign the dotted line or ship his ass out of town. Only problem is that he can basically pick where he wants to go by refusing to sign an extension with the team he is traded to.

Wow if Dwight really did tell his teammates that, and he ends up signing somewhere else, he might be in the running to take LBJ over as the biggest POS. LBJ was discreet when he kept the Cavs hostage, Dwight is pretty much open about it. He wants his cake and eat it too. If i were the Magic FO, i would get a deal done before the deadline tomorrow. Either force Dwight to resign, or trade his ass.

And like clockwork Dwight now basically changing his mind again. Telling the magic he'd opt in to next year. But when asked to sign something saying he was opting in, he said he's not yet ready to do that. Unreal. Just trade his ass and move on. Let him go do nothing in ny too.

Sessions is not worth a first rounder. But the way this front office is managing this team, it wouldn't surprise me to see them offer 2 first rounders.

lol Ramon Sessions is not getting this team over the hump.

Would he be an upgrade over Blake? Yeah, probably. But it's Ramon Sessions.

Good god Portland. Down 62-31 to the Knicks with 8 minutes left in the 3rd.

12 made shots, 17 turnovers.

Nevertheless, multiple league executives believe Magic's decision is now cemented that they'll trade Dwight Howard before Thursday deadline.

They would give the much needed help off the bench. This would be a great move for the Lakers.

I hope the magic trade him early tomorrow to make for a crazy afternoon. Trades could be flowing like crazy after that deal gets done.
