Let's see if Dwight actually comes to us after all.

this we need that man..
Dwight is better off staying, he's seen what has happened to LeBron's legacy. Nobody wants that to ever happen to them.

Yeah, good thing Lebron's legacy has been 100% cemented one year after the Decision.
The Magic haven't brought in the right guys and they haven't made an effort to use their money wisely, and they don't have much youth to hope for. They won't have money the next couple years to spend on free agents or find someone willing to take Hedo or Gil. Would it be a nice story if Dwight suffered through a couple more years of an early playoff exit, hope the Magic can reload quickly with a couple big free agents in a few years, and he can bring a title to Orlando and be in a Magic uni his whole career? Sure... why not. But the odds of that are unlikely right now. Otis Smith has not made the right moves, and I don't know how you work out a way to convince Dwight to stay with the current situation.
If anything, considering how much people claim Dwight's happy demeanor is a negative attribute, his willingness to leave his team knowing the possible backlash should speak to his desire to win.

Yeah, Lebron's pu pu platter in Cleveland is only rivaled by Dwight's slightly less stinky situation in Orlando. I don't blame him if he leave. I just want him on the Bulls. A D-Rose and Dwight tandem would be a damn video game.

people don't hold Dwight to the same expectation's as Lebron james .... Also let's not forget the decision show bron did.
Dwight is a star player him leaving Orlando is nothin like Bron a (home state Legend) leaving the cav's for dead .. in some people opinion

Sadly enough, its not going to happen though.
We'd have to be able to move Carlos either through a trade or the amnesty clause.

The players with high school educations are not negotiating deals - Billy Hunter is. The last time I checked he was more than qualified to do that.

I'm very close to rooting for him again.
If this is how the majority of society wants to act, count me out. The slander is beyond OD.

You're right. I meant to say "they shouldn't be barging into the negotiations and disrupting the process."

Wade plays a terrible series, LeBron plays great and the Heat still won in 5-- On the road. LeBron plays terrible, Wade plays great and they lose in 6, at home. That says something, no? Unless you think the Mavs were that much better than a team than won 5 more games than them.
Not to mention that Wade had won a total of 4 playoff games in the prior 4 years before teaming up with LeBron. But, people tend to skip over that. Wouldn't really align with him being 'Batman'.
For Wade > LeBron, you either have to:
- look at things in a 10 day vacuum.
- go back to June of 06 and use the ring argument.
Dirk at 1? Fine by me. Dude earned that title it for now.
