I Would LOVE for this to happen!

Trade him for picks alone to the worst franchise. Heck, trade him to Sterns team for the clipper stuff. Let stern deal with him

I would be more hilarious if after traded to NJ, William says "I want out.'

He isn't signing the EXTENSION just the waiver.

Shaq said last night on NBA TV that he was given 4 extensions in his career to sign and he signed them IMMEDIATELY. He said D12 not signing his extension means there are problems in Orlando.

D12 signs the waiver so he isn't traded now. Next season Orlando has to trade him or get NOTHING so they are back to this same nonsense.

If I am Orlando, AFTER D12 signs the waiver, I tell D12 to sign the extension or he is getting traded immediately.

I mean it's a bit risky, I wouldn't even give him the ultimatum, I would just trade him. Or let him sign an extension and then trade him anyways - bottom line is I'm trading him!

You tell him "sign an extension or you're traded" with the intention of actually keeping him is pretty silly; why would you want a player who's clearly going to be pissed at your entire franchise on your team?

What could possibly take so long to sign a piece of paper? The money is already set so they dont have to hammer out any details, its a simple signature saying you arent leaving in July.


Reportedly they want his Agent to sign it too. Not sure where his agent is (probably NY).

Dwight is a funny guy, I guess like John Stockton (or was it Karl Malone) who said they just liked to hang-with-the-guys on the bus and were not real consumed with winning a Championship.

So the bottom line is what does Dwight REALLY want?
1) Money
2) Fame
3) A Championship
4) Not to piss anyone off
5) To be on a Rebuilding Team

Staying with the Magic gets him #1 & #4
Going to the Nets gets him #1, #2 & #5
Going to the Lakers gets him #1, #2, #3

Deron not happy with Nets. They run a huge risk of losing him for nothing.

I always liked Deron more than CP3, he would be perfect with the Lakers.

The deal made Stern and NBA FO look like a fool.

What about Gasol and the first round picks for DWill/filler? That has to raise interest in Nets right?

Yes! LOL. I'm sorry, but you can't just ask once and drop it, you got to keep on asking until 2:59 PM ET.

It's time for D.Will to step up. Don't pull a LeBron. Let them know you have no intentions of re-signing with them and are joining another superstar in Dallas. They are holding onto the hope that he re-signs, and if he's all about winning, I just don't see that happening. Hometown + Dirk + championship team = opting out.
