Dwight Will Miss Orlando Love

A columnist for Orlando Sentinel quotes Magic owner Rich DeVos --and unveils a music video by local fans-- in an attempt to show that if Dwight Howard leaves the Magic, he'll be leaving the magic of love behind.

"The loyalty you develop in a community is always remembered," Mike Bianchi quotes DeVos as saying. "But if you leave, you don't pick it up in the next town. It's not an add-on because you lose what you had. Maybe you gain some new [love], but maybe you don't. Maybe the net (Net?) gain isn't as good as you think."

In the music video, a guitar-strumming musician and a sequin-loving local attorney known as "the Fat Guy" sing and dance with fans outside Amway Center.

The most memorable lines:"When we hear that you're leaving, we'll stop believing" and "Hey, Magic, let's fight now for Dwight." Bianchi concludes, "Dwight should remember that there's a reason the grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence. It's because of all the fertilizer."

Yep

No one will cheer for him wherever he plays next. Only Orlando knows how to support their players.

yeah

the same way Shaq missed Orlando after he left for LA

or the way that Penny Hardaway missed the fans throwing him under the bus after he tore up his knee and played on it in the playoffs the year after Shaq left. I believe he dropped 40 pts back to back against Alonzo Mourning’s Miami Heat when that happened and the Orlando fans called him soft. the same Orlando fans that said that Shaq wasn’t worth the money.

The same Orlando fans that ran Tracy McGrady out of town as well.

Yeah. People talk trash about us, but we have good reason for our collective apathy and cynical behavior. They have had 4 players that during their time in Orlando were amongst the NBA’s ELITE. What is their excuse?

I am on board for Dwight and Deron. King will figure the rest out.

  1. reason why Dwight leaves?

    Dwight will gain more fans by moving to BK. Orlando is really a small market bases on the # of people living in the area. The Magic are the only sport in town and they can’t sell out every game

did you guys read the comments from that article?

Rich DeVos is a founding member of the Teabagger Mafia. If he had his way, people like Dwight Howard would be wearing chains and picking cotton in the fields.

We should run Rich DeVos out of town on a rail, festooned with the deserved regalia of tar and feathers.
HO LEE S! DICK Devos lecturing someone about loyalty to their community?? The only think DICK has done to this community is rape it for it’s tax money so that a BILLIONAIRE could become a more BILLIONAIRE.

The only money he’s pumped back into the community has gone to ANTI-GAY, PRO-HATE initiatives.

This community would be far better off without the Devos family in it.

The only people that should be paying to watch Howard stuff a ball into a hole in the Orlando Arena is the Devos family.

No wonder Howard acted indifferent when he wheeled himself into their locker room.

According to what Orlando fans have been saying online, no

They’re all burned up about the whole Grant Hill situation and see a hurt Lopez as the same thing: trading for an injured “star” only to have to immediately overpay. I think it’s a terrible comparison but the Magic front office might see it the same way.

Another thing is that the tone of these articles has changed to suggest the Nets can wait until July and not take on the extra contracts. If the Nets have backed away from providing cap relief than the Magic front office is left with the option of picks and Lopez or the full cap relief from not having Howard on their books. It doesn’t make sense to me but these Orlando execs seem to be operating in their own parallel universe.

The big quesion is what's Billy's position regarding talks now?

Is he still desperate and willing to give up everything to acquire Dwight? Or is he more inclined not to deal and wait for free agency? If it falls to Orlando to pursue the Nets do you think their front office is going to have the cajones to trade Dwight to the Nets for 60 cents on the dollar? I don’t know.

I really dont see this going to the off season

Jeremy Lin has opened up a major possibility and perhaps some Knick “payback” from last year….

We all say that the Nets will get Dwight because he has made it clear he will only sign an extension in Brooklyn. After everything I’ve read and seen “tweeted”, I tend to agree.

Here is the problem…The Knicks have to realize they are a better team without Melo simply stopping the ball on every offensive set and he plays no D.

If the Nets low ball Orlando, who is to say the Knicks dont offer Melo for Dwight, even feeling good that if Dwight leaves, they will have Melo off their books and can sign a better fit with that cap space.. I honestly see this as a threat and a win/win for NYK. They get a great shot at the title this year if that trade is made and even if DH12 leaves in the summer, they no longer have zero cap room stuck with a “bad fit” team. I would do that in a heartbeat if I were Dolan.

Having said that, I still think the Nets put together a much better overall package for Orlando as they can get some players for today and tomorrow along with cap relief and he would end up with the Nets..

The point is, someone (see Knicks) are going to make the Nets pay and lose this leverage we seemingly have IMHO.

and who says Howard wouldn't play for Knicks if pushed?

here’s a scenario: Melo comes back and Knicks start to lose as Lin gets frustrated, fans get upset and Knicks management thinks lets do this.

Nets keep losing, look jinxed and Prokhorov uncertain of continuing role with team.

Knicks offer Melo for Dwight, Dwight says yes to extension and whatever plans the Nets have for the immediate future are crushed.

Nothing is 100 percent.

No need to be sorry, I hear you

but I disagree because I think the Knicks would believe they are instant favorites for the EC Champs and would probably convince DH12 to stay. If he didnt, they believe they can sign the top free agents. I don’t know that they can but I believe they feel its a low risk….

I see this coming up before the deadline.

Lin has started 5 games...5 GAMES!

They won’t get rid of their superstar for nothing by trading him for dwight who won’t stay with the knicks to play with jeremy lin.

Unless they are down to rebuild again they won’t be doing this. They’ve only had Melo for a year and they would be dumb to give up on him this soon.

by sipitioking on Feb 12, 2012 2:17 PM EST up reply actions  

The point wasn't Lin's play

it was showing how much better the Knicks are with ball movement and better defense. Lin could be any point guard on the Knicks, they are just a better team when moving the ball and playing team D.

by NetProfit on Feb 12, 2012 2:21 PM EST up reply actions  

Any team is better moving the ball and playing some kind of D

The point is that dwight won’t stay a knick just because they move the ball and play better D, which doesn’t necessarily mean good D just better than before. Dwight wants some help and the knicks wouldn’t have that help by trading Melo for him. Dwight won’t agree to resign with knicks which makes trading Melo a bad move because they would be getting nothing in return.

most points ever in first 4 starts, do some research and look up what other players in NBA history have done what he has done, ALL HALL OF FAMERS, not saying this kid is hall of fame good, be he is definitely the really deal, and a legitimate starting pointguard. remember when billups played with melo in denver and melo actually played SF, if he could do that with lin the knicks would be dangerous…. but dwight and d will would smack that lineup, because if we get them 2, mark my words A THIRD “STAR” WILL COME (josh smith, rudy gay, gerald wallace….)

Knicks were pulling the same Shenanigans last year before they got Melo...

…on MSG they had a commercial promoting the Nuggets visit to MSG and the voiceover was, “Watch melo’s only visit to MSG….….or is it?”

I get the feeling this won't be the last time we see Deron and Dwight on a billboard together

The Nets know Dwight is coming, and they don’t care who knows that they are excited about it

Classic

One suggestion: Maybe by a New hope put a pic of Dwight smiling
