Comments on: Otis Smith says nothing has changed with Dwight’s situation. Oh, and he’s receiving threats from fans.

“Smith: I just have to be a little extra cautious and let those around me know that the threat is there. But I don’t concern myself with it.”
that sounds like concern to me…justifiable concern…but concern non the less

Howard is gone. The sooner they trade him the better. I hate to see him go but it will be worse for this team to be torn apart by trade in a month or so from now if they are playing well and going good things.

Wait, so you really feel his first mistake was Vince Carter? Drafting Fran Vasquez and doing a sign and trade for Rashard Lewis (in order to bid against himself & give Rashard the ultimate max) weren’t mistakes? How about trading Trevor Ariza for Brian Cook and Maurice Evans? He then trades for VC, signs Duhon to big money, and follows that all up by trading all Orlando’s assets for Gilbert Arenas and to get back Turkoglu, the guy he let go for VC & had wildly underperformed since he left. I would challenge you to tell me what he has done right since he became GM. That Brandon Bass/Big Baby trade is really working out too huh?

(btw, if your response is he was GM when Orlando got to the finals, that team was already in place. He got Rashard but gave him 30 million more than Houston was offering at the time for no reason.)

I don’t advocate any threats EVER against a man or his family over what amounts to a child’s game, however, your lack of historical perspective of this man’s tenure as GM ad your apologist attitude to his body of work is ridiculous.

This to me just resembles the situation with Lebron in Cleveland. An owner who just desperately wants to win and takes a few shots and misses. Then his superstar’s last year he is strapped with some bad contracts on old veterans. For the Magic’s sake i hope the result isn’t the same.
