"Dwightmare" Affecting Magic?

To call it anything other than a preseason blowout would be wrong and no one is yet calling Dwight Howard's professionalism into question but the Magic and Howard looked positively awful Sunday night in 33-point loss to the Heat in Miami. Howard played 30 minutes, scoring six points and grabbing five rebounds.
Initially, Stan Van Gundy seemed to link the poor performance to the "Dwightmare" (we've adopted this phrase from the Orlando Sentinel), telling reporters, "If you guys can't figure it out right now, you're in the wrong business." Then later, he seemed to take a step back, adding, "Here's where we are: If he has a bad game, he's disengaged. That's BS."
Howard himself dismissed the idea of a distraction, saying, "I don’t think guys are worried about it. Like I told the guys … we’re all on the same team ... until that changes, we should go out and play hard every night and not focus on what’s on the outside of this locker room."
At least one of his teammates said he thought Howard would remain professional, but also indicated the possibility of a trade hangs over the team. Quentin Richardson said before the game that Howard will treat Magic games professionally "until trade actually happens."

Yeah, I'm surprised Orlando is willing to go through that Denver did
but even worse it looks like.
You would think they would want to end it already.

yes
the Nuggets got three players under 25 who were averaging 15 points a game for the Knicks; two seven footers aged 23, and two first round picks.

So if the Knicks came to the Nets and offered Gallo, Mozgov, Felton and their two picks for Harris, Favors, and the Nets two lottery picks, you would have wanted the Nets to do that?
Ok then.

Melo didn't want to go to the nets
They put it on hold because they knew the knicks were offering a horrible trade but the nets upped the bidding by including those players and it made the knicks take action and make a more plausible deal.

Yet casual basketball fans think he is a God, and would exhaust their entire squads to land him...
I am not doing that.
How can you possibly argue that an above average starter and two average starter is better than an average starter (Harris) and three lottery picks?
The Nets were even willing to give more than that!

You gotta be kidding be Maxyboy
Knicks traded proven players, which is better than draft picks. Not every team is lucky to draft and rebuild like the Thunder, so this debate and new fondness of draft picks is just insane. Plus Nuggets got expiring contracts which was also helpful. The Nuggets, Knicks, Nets, and Jazz all did well with there trades.

Felton is on the Blazers, Chandler is in China. Gallo is going to be great for them and Mosgov is a good piece. The pick could be garbage but the Knicks usually do a pretty good job of drafting.
That doesn’t compare to Harris, Favors, and Kanter, the latter two on rookie deals.

No it wasn't
because at the time we all said, "What are they thinking? Don’t they know they’re entire team is going to be free agents next year? Including Felton and Chandler? You’ve written numerous times on this site about the value of acquiring high level draft picks that you can secure to rookie contracts. For small market teams like Denver and Utah, where most free agents are not likely to come to, it’s the only way. Did Denver remain a good team last year? Yes, because it was probably better for them not to cash in at that point. But in a couple of years Utah will have the better long term forcast and Denver will only have Gallo.
by BrooklynNets on Dec 19, 2011 12:16 AM EST up reply actions
Nonsense
You’ve changed you’re position, you’re not trying to say is was the better deal because Melo wanted to be a knick? Denver got Gallo, an average player they didn’t need or want in Felton with a contract no good for a rebuilding team, Chandler who was expiring and some scrubs/ scrubs picks. That is not a better deal, then top 3 pick, a former all star point guard and a pick that was almost certainly going to be in the top 10 not to mention the golden state pick in a stacked draft. And thats just comparing what the nets gave Utah, they were also willing to jump though lots of salary absorbing hoops and give up other player too.
"Next year, with a full training camp, I think he can go after that Scott Skiles' record of 30." - Billy King
Three young players averaging 15 ppg
two 23 year old seven footers, two first round picks, two second round picks and $3 million.
"It's as sweet as it ever was, I'll tell you. Now, hopefully, we started something and we can win some more championships, but we're going to enjoy this one right now. Have a little champagne." --Julius Erving, May 12, 1976, ABA champion Nets locker room.
Three young players averaging 15ppg in Antoni's system.
One was an expiring contract, the other Gallo, the other an average player paid like a starter on a team that had a young PG and needed to rebuild. All Felton brought back was 35 year old Miller and the 26th pick in the draft. The two seven footers Mozgov and Koufas are scrubs. Two second round picks(big deal)And as far as I can tell one first round pick not two, the knicks pick in 2014, so three years after the trade and the pick is likely to be lousy.
I’d take a top 6 at least pick, a former all star in Harris, the 3rd pick in the draft in favors, a high pick in a stacked draft. Again not to mention the other picks and salary absorbing and player the nets were reported to be offering.

The Dwigraine
"A little boy went out to play. When he opened his door, he saw the world. As he passed through the doorway, he caused a reflection. Evil was born. Evil was born, and followed the boy."
What do the Magic expect?
He has made his intentions clear and they have publicly disregarded his wishes. The Orlando organization has every right to do this and if I was a fan of another franchise I would probably be sick about another superstar forcing a trade. However, once these guys make up their minds, they do everything to get to the place they want to be. And can anyone blame them? They should have a right to dictate where they want to spend the prime’s of their careers, especially when an organization is as inept as Orlando.
honestly, dwight can act as unprofessional as he wants, and the Magic management can hold onto him till the 15th of March
which, of course would be stupid, but they can still do it.
and probably will.
Why would they do that?
Out of pure stubbornness? It seems everyone is still very sensitive over the lockout. Orlando ownership wanted a franchise tag big time. They feel like they’re being screwed. But they have to be realistic, they can rebuild pretty fast if they cash in THIS YEAR.

That has the “potential” to be good, but the Clippers, Wolves, and Grizzlies have had the potential to do good things, yet fail to majority of the time. Its seem all nice that we offer them Lopez, plus picks, and cap relief, but would you take that crap knowing your tradign away your present and future? Magics want more, Nets know this, King is probably and will find additional teams to try and get this trade done. I’m just not holding my breath on it.

Yeah I came to that reality when we traded away Kidd.
Then RJ, then Vince. Except when the Nets started it was clear that they weren’t going into the rebuilding process in a way that was going to guarantee them success. They were still a just below average team that would not commit outright to rebuilding until it was too late. This draft is stacked, and if the Orlando Magic don’t have the * moiso * to take their chances now, they are fools. I’m sorry for them that Dwight is forcing the issue, but they should have seen it coming. The Magic have done this to themselves by making terrible basketball moves, yet people never are willing to realize their own shortcomings.

Yea, I agree with what your saying
and this draft is suppose to be stocked, but the Magics are in a similar situation like the Nets, and I think they realize it. New Arena, Star player a FA in July, Magics have that All-Star game down in Orlando, and then it comes down to which team will be badder as is, the Nets or Magics. I honestly can see Smith holding on to Howard the whole season, even though it would be stupid and unlikely, there is still a chance.

It wont be Smith
since Otis already brought the trade to Orlando ownership, which means that he was at least considering a deal last week. And you are probably right, this thing will go to the trade deadline or beyond. However, my gut says that if there is one person that could absolutely make everything go haywire for an organization, it’s got to be Stan Van Gundy. And you know SVG sees the writing on the wall: whether Dwight leaves via free agency or trade, his fate is bound to Howard’s. The guy is starting to go mental and the story will soon be about the rumors, the coach, the whole locker room while Howard comes out looking like he’s just going about his business.

Its all up to the Lakers, Magic owners want what they have, Lakers give in and we are screwed.
A good start for the Lakers would help us tremendously! but they are playing a revamped Clippers team ……
I dont see how gasol and bynum are that valuable. They will be a low seed playoff team with high draft picks and little cap space. Bynum has the freedom of leaving after next season. Gasol is getting old with three years left on his contract. I f magic take the nets off they will have a young all star center in brook cap space and 3 first round draft picks in a loaded draft. Yeah the lakers can give then 2 very good players, one injury prone and another getting old I might add but, they wont have the lottery pick where they can easily get a star this year and a nice 2012 freeagency.

If you replace Williams with Humphries

But I’ve always been a fan of making the small decisions the right way. Thorn seemed to have a streak where he just added the right role player at the right price. Guys like Aaron Williams. I don’t mind if this team is incomplete going into the season.

Its the factor of not getting Howard that's troubling
Williams is opting out, Howard is opting out as well, and this can’t be good for the Nets if they don’t contend this season.

I don't care if their players are in shape or not
And it’s not a non-story. It’s one thing to play bad. Anyone can have an off-game(see Rodgers in KC today). It’s the fact you can clearly see he wasn’t trying. Don’t you think he’d be fired up to play Miami? Other team in the state with so much hype?

Why hamstring your flexibility when you can wait a couple of games to add Humphries. Also, a lot of players will be coming back from foreign lands later in the season.

Does anybody think BK doesnt want to sign hump because hell take rebounds away from brook making him less desireable to the magic?
No
He is waiting for Hump to come down a little in price.
But it doesn’t hurt to give @bkdefend a tweet.
Tell him that we need Hump in there by the time we play ORL on Dec. 29.
We must beat ORL to show up their ownership.
Brook looked good in his first game.
All Avery has to do is tell Hump not to take any rebounds away from Brook.
Come 60 days, ORL will want both Lopez and Hump.
Don't tweet him that
What’s the point of saying that to him if he’s trying to get this done now?
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
Because BK may be focused on getting Hump to sign for 1 year when he wants 5.
A five yr. deal should be more than 5M in year 1. We can afford that, if we assume DH will be traded at deadline and won’t ever become a FA.
He's trying to save cap
he’s trying to become the 1st GM to have 10+ players on a team, with a negative cap.

Wish I could sometimes go back to my younger days when life was so much similar and easy sigh

We're not winning one damn game
with the offense ending up with buffoons like Graham, Petro, and Udoka getting shots.
Deron had 6 assists the other day, I’m shocked he managed to pull that off with the garbage that the Nets paraded out there.
Truth be told
a decent 3 and 4 makes this a good team to watch….maybe a 6 seed or so
BK’s playing with fire again putting all his eggs in the superstar basket

we have zero 4's on the roster
and none of the threes are any good
even with Howard here, we’ll need some work.
but it will make life easier.

Maybe a 9th or 19th seed too

Do you think D12 wants to hear this??? Tweet it to DH!!
Q: Do you have any say in personnel moves?
Kobe Bryant: "No. That’s how they feel most comfortable handling their business, which is fine by me. I don’t take it personal. I just let them do their thing and trust that they’re trying to win right now. It’s not something where they are just tearing apart and starting from scratch."

Suicide.
That isn’t an option.
I hope BK knows that. Why don’t you remind him.
Do you think any team would take Hump for 4 years starting at 6.8 million? Not many teams have that luxury.
If Nets offer 5 years starting at 5 million, it would be equivalent, because of extra year and higher raises.
Just a short time ago, most Nets fans would have loved to bring back Hump at 5 Million.
BK has got to be decisive and realize that DH is not likely to ever become a FA.
And that chance of ORL trading him become better if Nets beat ORL on Dec 29 and also have some desireable pieces like Lopez, Hump, Brooks or Morrow.
they know it's only but a matter of time
They’re not talking like they can keep him more

did anyone catch Bruce Beck last night on Mike'd Up?
If so, what did he say about both Nets and Knicks?
I bet DH will get a laugh when he reads this:
@DwightHoward Unleash “Dwightmare” for when U play DWill and my Brooklyn Nets.
5 minutes ago via web
However, the laugh will be on us if Hump isn’t playing for us on Dec. 29.
Humps Overrated
Hes an average defender who has zero offensive game and rebounds the ball well.
He played decent in a contract year & I’m not worried in the slightest if we don’t bring him back

We're not saying he's the 2nd coming of Karl Malone
He does the dirty work, doesn’t need the ball offensively, his a true shot blocker, rebounds his butt of, and plays good defense. He’s athletic and physical, but knows how to play under control.

Don't mention to Dwight
about playing AGAINST us on the 29th. I want him playing FOR us on the 29th.
RIP baby. I love you forever. Our dream of seeing D12 with the Nets is getting closer.
Really?
I find it humorous how many people are jumping on Dwight for trying to get where wants to go.
Where was all the national outrage when Kareem did this? Or Barkley? Or Kidd?
In today’s day and age, with twitter being what it is, every numbskull with an opinion feels they should give one.
Here’s a thought: if Otis Smith had actually built a decent team around Dwight and not put them in cap purgatory for the foreseeable future, we’re probably not even sitting here discussing this.
If you want to blame someone, blame Otis Smith.

Agree
You can’t blame the ownership, they tried and supported him well.
If there’s someone to blame, it’s Otis. Can’t believe the ownership trusted him after what he’s done for the past 2 or 3 years.
Dwight is not doing a LeFraud. And not exactly like the MeloDrama.
A combination of both. He gave the team a chance to improve (which Melo didn’t really do, he just want to be traded and bring his millions with him), and asked to be traded so the team can get assets in return (which LBJ refrained from doing).
Orlando is really lucky that Dwight thought about doing the right things.
Apparently, they are the ones who threw the torch on the bridge, and they want Dwight to pick it up to save the bridge from catching fire.
I still believe we can do IT !
That Gregg Doyel of CBSSports ...
were really trying hard to make Dwight the bad guy … comparing him to LeFraud.
I still believe we can do IT !
