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.

    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.  
    • They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.
    • Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
