Video: Van Gundy Says That Dwight Asked That Ownership Fire Him

As hard as Orlando is trying to keep Howard, expect SVG gone at the end of season and Orlando will be scrambling to land another free agent to keep Howard happy. If not, Plan B will be resorting to trade him before next season's trade deadline to get any value they can before he leaves for nothing in free agency.

I dont think it is possible for Dwight to annoy me any more this season. My god he is the biggest baby in the NBA- he cares WAAAY too much about how people view him. First he wanted to go to the lakers, then decided against it because he didnt want to be too much like Shaq. Jesus man just make up your damn mind on whether you are staying or leaving.

Oh, and by the way, Stan Van Gundy has been awesome this year. What the fug did you expect him to do when Ryan Anderson is your 2nd best player and the only other legitimate NBA players on the team are Jason Richardson (old, hasnt played well), Hedo Turkoglu (also old), Jameer Nelson (terrible this year), JJ Redick, and Glen Davis. Oh, and your best player has been involved in an ongoing soap opera the entire season too. Its a bunch of one-dimensional 3 point shooters + Dwight, and yet they somehow have the 4th best record in the East.

If you're going to demand someone be fired, why not the GM Dwight?

It is a longshot at best but if he is available this summer AND we get Anthony Davis in the draft, we may be able to get him here. He is a good Xs & Os coach and that is what Bismak, Kemba and Davis would need to help them progress.

Wont be the first time a superstar NBA player gets a coach run out of town, or the last.

Sometimes it works out, see Magic Johnson/Paul Wewsthead/Pat Riley. Lakers had a lot of success under Westhead but the team didn't like him and their Superstar spoke out.

A happy clubhouse keeps your star in town. We'll see what the Magic decide.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
