They should have shipped his ass to Charlotte for nothing. In fact, I hope they do that this summer. Send him to Charlotte for Tyrus and a second round pick. Let him rot a season there.

[hawkfan]

What exactly does Orlando want in return?

[niko]

It's funny, i really think he wanted to go to Brooklyn. But he didn't. And now, he's put himself in a position where it's open bidding. He has no leverage, and the acquiring team gets him for a year, and he can't say don't sign me, ill just go to Brooklyn as he's injured so it's just not smart, and anyone can call that bluff because the Nets will be hard pressed to tell Deron to sit put while they suck for a year with cap room. AND the Nets possibly gave away their main asset, the #1 pick.

I hope this isn't true because his destination is obvious and it makes me sick.

He can still do the same thing, because Orlando will demand a lot in return.

So what team is going to want to keep him for a year if he is going to bolt?

Hawks get Howard and Redick for Al Horford and Joe Johnson.

[It's A VC3!!!]

I predicited this on day one when Howard opted in for another year.

My assumption is that Howard nergotiated with Otis Smith, and the conversation went something like this.

Otis Smith: Opt in or your a Laker within an hour

Dwight Howard: If I opt in and we lose can you atleast agree to trade me at seasons end.

Otis Smith: Deal.

They should trade his ass to the Nets for Lopez, Brooks, Morrow, picks and dump a bad contract in the process.

Lakers will give you Troy Murphy, Goudelock, McRoberts, and a first round pick for him. He'd be a good backup to Andrew Bynum.

Who knows if this is true, but I still can't believe they didn't trade him.

They really let him "not opt out" and at best case scenario they would have to go through the whole "where is Howard going" deal for another year.

Should have traded him. Somebody would have given them enough if they really tried to move him.

I'd want to kill somebody if I was a Magic fan.

Why would Orlando do that? Why makes anyone think they put their head in the sand and refused to do what he wanted all this time, but now with him for a year so they can open a bidding war, send him away for nothing? For Wallace who is not signed, Lopez who is not signed, and future picks that won't be lottery ones.

Has to be more than that. If not they can just tell him **** off and wait till trade deadline. NJ can't press because they might lose Deron.

If he wants a trade Orlando can start a bidding war and send him only when they feel they have fair value.

Orlando has a lot of leverage. They have a whole season with him. Dwight can say he'll only sign with Brooklyn (since that seems his favorite) but is Deron going to wait a year? The Nets wait a year? When he already ****ed the over in the same situation?

yes they do.
There are other teams out there than the Nets. Lakers. If Howard proclaims that he will only sign with the Nets, THEN Orlando has no leverage.

Dwight plays hard. The uneasy thing about being with Dwight is knowing he hates the current head coach and Dwight is probably not going to be there for very long, so it's very difficult to have any type of comradery amongst the team and Howard.

[It's A VC3!!!]

You think Lopez and Brooks are nothing? Morrow is a great shooter.

Your right.Lopez is a 20 PPG Center. How many of those exist in the NBA right now? Even better he's only 24. Morrow is a player who fits into the Magic's system picture perfect. MarShon Brooks is a 13/4/2 guy in his first year at the age of 23.

So the Magic trade Dwight for Bynum straight up. May seem like a alright deal depending on who you ask but that doesn't solve any of the Magics other problems. All that transpired to is refilling the Center position. A trade with NJ solves the Magics terrible bench along with giving them a team that will make the playoffs again while building for the future.

The Nets have the best package in my eyes.

The point is, are the Lakers still willing to trade Bynum for Dwight? If so, the Magic does have a huge leverage since the Lakers are still in hunt. Otherwise the Magic is doomed.

Agree in general, but the Lakers could still throw in something more than Bynum, if they were so inclined. Also, a 3rd team could get involved (Houston for example).
Bynum, Goran Dragic, and Kevin Martin for Howard.

If the Nets get the first pick, would you trade Davis for Howard, or just start rebuilding around Davis?

[It's A VC3!!!]

Davis for Howard. Davis could be a 15/10/3 guy his first year. He could be a bust. That's uncertain. What's certain is that Dwight is a 20+/15/2 guy who will continue to put up those stats for years to come provided he's healthy. I'll take reliability over possibility any day.

[Kiddlovesnets]

If the Nets get the first pick, would you trade Davis for Howard, or just start rebuilding around Davis?

I guess we'd still trade for Dwight, given Deron is re-signing 100%. But we will be having a good leverage, wont be taking in Hedo's garbage contract in return.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

How the **** he has been threated as scrub? Who wrote this article? Dwight's baby mama?

[Crown&Coke]

too bad GSW cashed in Monta, I would have dealt him to GSW for any package which includes Monta+Lee+fillers for Dwight and Turk

F Dwight and his little bullshit act. Just because SVG told the world what Dwight was saying privately he got all bitchy about it

I hope the Lakers pass on this guy unless he signs an extension or says he will sign with LA. Cant deal Bynum only to see Dwight jet to Brooklyn

[talkingconch]

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e131/motorhead069/AndHereWeGo.gif

Not sure if Lakers want him or can get him now? Bynum has been acting out but not sure if thats enough to trade him.

And how serious is his injury?

I think he goes to the Nets. if they get Davis :eek: . D will!? :wtf: Davis would be traded tho or the pick

If Otis was going to trade him to the Lakers anyway what makes you think hell do something else now? Maybe other packages will be on the table now.

[longtime lurker]

So instead of playing on the Lakers, Bulls or Celtics or even Brooklyn (you know the team he wanted to go in the first place) Dwight is going to subject everybody to more months of bullshit speculation about where he's playing next year. What a joke.

[It's A VC3!!!]

How the **** he has been threated as scrub? Who wrote this article? Dwight's baby mama?

On the day he was set to get back surgery the Magic placed him on a budget airliner rather then the exclusive ride he normally gets. He viewed that as offensive, maybe implying that the Magic don't care if he heals or not.

Oh and where were you the day that Howard's "private conversation" was leaked across the web. Howard feels no trust within that organization. Players are also saying the Howard circus is frustrating them.

[senelcoolidge]

Howard to Toronto or Charlotte please!

[Sarcastic]

I think you mean the first pick PLUS Lopez, etc?

I think Orlando would let him go for Davis only. He is being talked about as the most heralded rookie in a long time, and a complete game changer.

Plus, they would be able to add to their collection of #1 overall center picks that they don't win a title with :lol

That second part is funny but I don't see the Magic doing a one for one because they want a proven player. I don't mind a Lopez + Davis trade though.

[Sarcastic]

You guys are really underrating Davis' potential. At the same age, Davis is beyond what Dwight was. They were discussing taking Okafor ahead of of Dwight.

On top of that, Dwight now has a bad back. He is damaged goods.

[niko]

You think Lopez and Brooks are nothing? Morrow is a great shooter.
Lopez and Brooks is not enough for Howard, no. As the center of a package it's pretty poor. Lopez is a restricted FA so it would have to be a S&T which means he gets significant money over several years or why would he sign? Coming off a bad injury. And Brooks looked good but you can't tell me he's a future star, he had glimpses of star potential, but he looks right now like a solid starter but a star? That's a reach, sorry.

If you told me Lopez signed at a reasonable amount (less than $10, plus Brooks plus the Nets got their pick (1-3), then id be in. As is, i'd rather have Bynum straight up.

Remember, there is a year. The Rockets would give you a pile for Howard even if it might be a rental. GS possibly.

[Reverend Hoops]

I don't see the Nets trading away Anthony Davis the first year they get him for an unstable Dwight.

[Scholar]

Send this whiny ****er to Charlotte.

[Take Your Lumps]

The most beautiful outcome would be if Orlando somehow won the trophy this year without Howard....it will never happen....but it would be so awesome.

[sagr32]

Howard really should have called Smith's bluff. LA wasn't going to trade for him unless he signed the extension which was all on him. And even if they did trade for him he could still bolt at the end of the year.

[niko]

If i am NJ i keep Davis. I'd trade the 2nd or 3rd pick. Davis no.

[niko]

Makes the Nets trade for Wallace look even more stupid. Which is more valuable, Wallace who you need to resign? Or the 4th to 10th pick in draft?

This.

Dwight had a BMI of 30.0 this season... that's full blown obesity on a frame that's top heavy as f*ck. Muscle mass or not that shit wreaks havoc on your bones and joints. For those that think a back injury isn't serious, ask David Robinson and Larry Bird if it effected their game when they injured their backs. And I guarantee Dwight has no plans or even an awareness to shed the ~30lbs that would be necessary to get back to a normal BMI to help prevent further serious damage.

[SCdac]

Some team is going to completely gut their roster and potential to acquire Howard, and he's not worth it IMO... Either that, or the low-ball offers will come rolling in by the dozens now that Orlando has basically no leverage at all.

[D12"Magic"]

Neither do i. Would you (personally) though? Me, the home grown Nets star from day 1 of the new building, Brooklyn Net's Anthony Davis, theirs and theirs only is very appealing.

eh, im 50-50 on that scenario, Howard is my favorite player, though back injuries can effect a center for his career, and that scare's me. Dwight though is a proven top tier athlete in the league, Deron will stay if Davis come's, though to be honest im not sure what I want

This is very debatable. It's true that Okafor vs. Howard was a debate but it would have been the wrong pick and like Davis Okafor led his team to the NCAA Championship. Comparing Davis to Howard in the first year out of HS you have the youngest player to ever average a double-double vs. the NCAA player of the year. I think Davis will be better than Howard has been but it's not clear who's the better 18/19 year-old.

[ClutchOver9000]

Howard is such a cornball

Opening day for Brooklyn?
yeah, i haven't found anything. Right now they are holding them for season ticket buyers obviously. Wondering how the rest would be divied out. Yankee and Mets were lottery for first day.

Dwight's back injury is potentially a big issue. He's enormous, and enormous and injuries is a bad combo. But i almost feel like the Nets are so in love with him they'd trade for him even if the physical came back and was bad.

[Funnyfuka]

one thing is sure howard will never win a chip if he doesnt join the lakers.

I'm just curious, which team has won more games this season? The Magic without Dwight or the Bobcats? I'm not starting shit or trying to troll you, I'm actually really interested in know how close it is.

Also, am I wrong, or did Bynum end up playing more games this season than Dwight?

Magic without Dwight so far: 3-7, or .300 (Keep in mind, they've been starting Davis at center, and they'd probably acquire someone else to play center if they knew Dwight was going to be out beforehand)

Bobcats: 7-57, or .109

The Magic without Dwight are much better than the Bobcats currently. Much better.

Also, Bynum missed five games this year. Dwight has missed 10 (and will end up missing the final 2).

Media and fans buy right into it, of course, because it was so easy to hate Lebron for what he did to the Cavs.

No...you have to trade Lopez as well (that's a great combo). And if you're Orlando you either have the Nets take Turk or you ask for Marshon Brooks too.

[BallsOut]

Lakers will give you Troy Murphy, Goudelock, McRoberts, and a first round pick for him. He'd be a good backup to Andrew Bynum.

Why would the Lakers want Howard. We already have a guy that does everything that he does, Jordan Hill.

[spiegel]

Lowry, Martin, Budinger and Dalembert for Howard and fillers.

[Whoah10115]

Charlotte trades Kemba, Biyombo, Henderson, and the 1st round pick for Dwight and Turkoglu...Michael gets in Dwight's face and talks shit, Dwight signs extension. KG, Ray, Jamison and Vince come over and help Dwight get to the playoffs. MJ tells Dwight that CP3 will come back home and finally get to play with Dwight...CP3 comes to Charlotte in 2013, promoting the Jordan brand and opposite Dwight promoting Adidas...moneys all-around. Charlotte becomes the best team in basketball. Dwight is a hero. The world goes round.




Lowry, Martin, Budinger and Dalembert for Howard and fillers.




Had Dragic been signed (or if they could wait till near the trade deadline) I would have preferred to trade him...just because I think Lowry is the perfect PG for Howard. And if I'm Orlando I want the hometown boy, Chandler Parsons...tho they might settle for anything.

[Funnyfuka]

I can see that. Their play style was open court, floor spread basketball. McHale tightened the reigns. When Lowry was out and Dragic came in, they were back to playing more open. Lowry has terrific value tho...and Kevin Martin has value too. And Houston can afford Turkoglu...that would be pretty cool.

Charlotte trades Kemba, Biyombo, Henderson, and the 1st round pick for Dwight and Turkoglu...Michael gets in Dwight's face and talks shit, Dwight signs extension. KG, Ray, Jamison and Vince come over and help Dwight get to the playoffs. MJ tells Dwight that CP3 will come back home and finally get to play with Dwight...CP3 comes to Charlotte in 2013, promoting the Jordan brand and opposite Dwight promoting Adidas...moneys all-around. Charlotte becomes the best team in basketball. Dwight is a hero. The world goes round.



Replace Bismack with Tyrus Thomas in the deal. I'd love to see DH play with a front court of Anthony Davis and Biyombo.

not a chance. Throw in Lopez and they MIGHT do it.

Might? They would do that in a heart beat. They aren't getting a better deal. No star player is traded for equal value.

This again it's not even the playoffs yet :facepalm

World peace McBob Blake and Hill straight up

Oh and we'll be generous and throw in a second rounder for the drama queen.
