Sad day: Dwayne Wade's Restaurant closes

cmon, drafting a player in the top 3 of the draft does not put you on any fast track to anywhere. Especially when Mr. Riley is flip flopping every year on his decision to coach or just stay with his role in management.

So how exactly did Orlando end up with Dwight Howard again? Thought so.

There's a starting point to every movement.

The same way then ended up with Shaq and Penny. 2 prime examples of #1 picks not guaranteeing a damn thing.

I can't believe you guys are arguing over this **** lol. Who cares? Let the teams decide it this year on the court.

But we do have your coach, Mr. Van Gundy. I can't thank your Heat management enough for allowing that to go through!

dude, no point of arguing with section. hes always right. just like when he said the magic couldnt improve their roster before the pietrus signing

Pietrus was a decent signing, but I don't think he really improved the Magic enough to make a statement. He's a role player at best with a terrible basketball IQ, although I do like the guy. He's not going to push Orlando over the top, and when you're a team that won't see any cap space in the near future, you need a guy who will push you over the top.

Thing is, when you've got Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis combining for $30+ million per season, you better at least contend for a title. Otherwise, it's a major failure.

that doesn't matter. They settled it last year on the court, and the Miami guys still want to live in the past and talk about championships. LOL, that team is so far away from being a contender it's funny.

You mean the coach we all wanted fired after we won 59 games?

Think about it. There is a reason we wanted Ron jeremy fired.

and you gave us a 2nd round pick to take the trash we throw away.

good point

getting to the 2nd round and losing to Detroit in a good series is IMO the very definition of contending for a title.

Many people still live off of the past. Jets fans for example.Their not that far away from contention. Last year, that team was the Dolphins basketball version. They were injury riddled and were a complete mess. The Magic aren't exactly that great either.

Is "far" one year?

Are we talking about the same Stan Van Gundy here? The guy who was severely out coached by Larry Brown in the 2005 Eastern Conference Finals? The guy who went absolutely brain dead when it mattered the most? The guy who was leading a mediocre team up until mid season, got replaced, then watched that team go on to win a title?

Stan Van Gundy is an above average coach in this league.......at best.

I really don't wan tot get in this conversation but how is that a good definition of contending for a title? They got beat by a better team. If anything, that proves that they can't beat the opposing team.

eric spoelstra. l m a o

No..that is settling for mediocrity.

I don't think anyone in their right mind even considered Orlando a threat to win a title last year. Contenders are threats to win titles.

You're basically settling for being in Cleveland's class. Ugh.

Are you asking me if John Dunlap is a friend of mine? If you are yes he is.
