I get the sense that Dwight really dislikes the Celtics.

Of course, that has more to do with the players they currently have and doesn’t have anything to do with the organization itself.

If he ends up with the Celtics, we’ll have the opportunity to see Bill Simmons become the biggest Dwight Howard revisionist in the universe.

I don't get the whole 'pop-tart cats pooping rainbows thing,' but then, I'm old. So, there it is.

That's probably the only upside.

From what Jeff Clark writes...

…the Magic are the favorite, for a number of reasons, to re-sign D12.

Chicago Blackhawks... 2010 Stanley Cup Champions
Chicago White Sox... 2005 World Series Champions
Orlando Magic... 1995 and 2009 Eastern Conference Champions

Reasonable argument at that.

The new CBA will really tell the story.

I expect Dwight to stay. We have no idea what the CBA will bring, but I am pretty sure there is going to be a way to immediately clear cap space. And if we lose the whole season, I actually expect Arenas to opt out, don’t ask why but I am not Gil, and the Magic should be able to bring in some players. I am not sure if we get a hard cap, LA, Miami, NY, NJ, ORL, Port, DAL, and other big spending teams will not want a hard cap. Regardless, I think Dwight will stay, he has to I spent a 100 bucks on the new black jersey with his name on it.

"I actually expect Arenas to opt out"? Really? That is a good example of flushing logic down the toilet!

I can't explain it.

Arenas seems crazy enough to do it.

Cuban

is one of the biggest proponents of the hard cap, and Gilbert opt out? Sharks will fly before that happens.
