The thing is, Orlando could have fucked him hard, just let him walk. He can't go to Brooklyn or the Knicks or Lakers or whoever.
Orlando would be the only team that could have paid him a grandfathered max.
Denver got lucky, they drew the Knicks and thus got to fleece them out of all their young talent.
Orlando came into this with a shit hand where everyone else had shit hands.
They might have even avoided any major impact with the players by the fact Dwight demanded a trade, then didn't, then lied, then re-upped, then decided he really did want to leave and TO ONLY ONE TEAM, etc.
