Here we go again..Dwight won't sign extension with anybody if traded

This man is really making it hard right now..

[niko]

It's no different than what was reported this morning. It was said Dwight would be open to resigning in LA at year end. This report is saying he won't sign an extension right away, he would go to FA. He would, he would need to and then resign. Just like Deron Williams did.

There is literally no change in what was reported from this morning. The difference has always been that before, Dwight was saying he would leave LA. Now he is not saying that.

[Nash]

It makes trading away a star like Bynum more difficult.

orlando is retarded if they was a package of varijao and picks

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

trade this mutha fcuka and get on with our lives...fcuking hiring a rookie 30yr old kid as GM....this is what happens

no wonder Dwight wants to leave the Magic....Fcuking lakers paid 2 1st 2 2nd rounders for an unrestricted FA Steve Nash and what have magic done??? trade for Hedo, V Carter, G Arenas, BBD????

Fcuk

[BlackVVaves]

If Lakers have sustained success over the season, reach the Conference Finals or farther in the playoffs, and instigate LA fans and sports figures to fondle him in the media and public, Dwight is signing that extension.

People IT IS NO DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS REPORTED BEFORE. DWIGHT NEVER AGREED TO EXTEND. THE REPORT THIS MORNING SAID HE WOULD BE AGREEABLE TO RESIGNING AT YEAR END. THIS IS LITERALLY THE SAME THING.

The difference today is that prior to today, Dwight said he would absolutely NOT resign in LA at year end. Today he said he would be agreeable to it. That is the difference. He was never going to extend 2 years instead of going to FA and resigning for five.

Don't fall for Bucher's bullshit, he's just restating the facts to try to claim this story as his own.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

orlando is retarded if they was a package of varijao and picks

what would u like to get ??? A maxed out Lopez + 3 1st round picks???

Or Varejao..expires next yr...Tristan Thompson and 3 1st round picks?? Varejao is very useful for a contender and can be easily flipped for young assets and draft picks....

You really only see things one way don't you?

[SCREWstonRockets]

The agent for Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard refuted reports that his client has decided he will sign an extension with the Los Angeles Lakers -- if traded to them.

"Dwight's position has remained unchanged since the end of this past season," said Dan Fegan of LaGardere Unlimited. "He fully intends to explore free agency at the end of next season, regardless of what team trades for him, including Brooklyn."

:biggums:

[G-Funk]

I tweeted him and told him this is bullshit, it makes it look like Dwight changed his mind, and it's him putting a claim on a story that it not his by changing the wording. I'm sure i get a nasty response.

Total bullshit. It's just ESPN trying to claim it's their story. Like their scoop that Orlando would want Lopez to take a physical in a Net trade. No shit.

[Meticode]

:biggums:
This makes no sense. I thought during the Nets/Magic talks Howard said there was only one team he would resign with, but he never named that team (everyone assumed it was Brooklyn)

[niko]

:biggums:
Do you seriously not know how the extension process works?

[BlackVVaves]

:biggums:

Dwight........:facepalm

[BGriffin's Dad]

The longest Howard could sign an extension, according to ESPN Insider's Larry Coon, would be three years, in either an extend-and-trade or after joining his new team.

If he waits until his current deal expires, Howard would be eligible to sign a new five-year deal for as much as $108 million.

bottom line... its all about the $$$

Dude, his agent says he intends on exploring free agency. Thats not something any team wants to hear, especially not a team giving away a stud like Andrew Bynum.

The reports earlier were that he'd sign an extension with Lakers if they got him, not thats not the case. All according to his agent.

[G-Funk]

if he signs an extension he gets paid a lot less.

[AirTupac]

Nothing new. He still said he's committed to the Lakers AFTER the season; doesn't necessarily mean extension.

New contract; still sticking with Lakers if traded. Ric is a dumbass.

[REACTION]

Basically. Everyone is falsely assuming that the main reason Dwight wants to avoid an extension and enter FA in 2013 is to sign somewhere else. I don't think that's the case. I'd say it's simply about maximizing his contract length and value. Why lock yourself into a 3-year extension now when you can wait to sign a 5-year deal in the summer for $100 million+? "Exploring free agency" in Dwight's terms just means getting the best contract possible. And as long as it's with a team he wouldn't hate playing for (LA/Brooklyn) I just don't see him leaving as a FA in the summer.

The Lakers shouldn't be phased by Dwight's reluctance to extend anywhere. If they get him in a trade, they'll keep him. It'll just be on a new 5-year deal next summer instead of a 3-year extension this summer.

[G-train]

This will drag on all season.
Even if he gets traded in 5 seconds, his BS will drag on all season.

[Nash]

Are you obtuse or you don't want Dwight in LA and this lets you troll? ITS THE SAME THING THAT WAS SAID THIS MORNING.
Of course I'd like to see Howard not playing in a potential monster team in Lakers. Who besides Lakers fans and obviously you wants to see Howard in that team?

[niko]

Of course I'd like to see Howard not playing in a potential monster team in Lakers. Who besides Lakers fans and obviously you wants to see Howard in that team?

Then hope for him to get traded to Houston. Which is still in play as far as i know. Still doesn't make this story meaningful in the least.

[niko]

Basically, some of you are pushing the point that Dwight Howard is going to leave LA and leave $25M on the table to go to Dallas, Houston or Atlanta?

SURE. That makes sense.

[RazorBaLade]

jim buss alreayd said hes not worried about dwight leaving

the only problem is if CLE wants to bite on taking bynum (he wont sign the extension either, no one would, its smarter to go FA) and if ORL wants to do the deal.

[DuMa]

i dub thee...

[G-Funk]

dwight's agent is cleaning up to make sure his player isn't considered entering into an illegal agreement ... that is all. A player cant come out and say he'll sign with another team while under contract with another

[B]

The way it was reported last night would be illegal for Howard to say. Almost like tampering. He's still under contract to the Magic, He can't go around making promises to other teams so it's been reworded

There's a reason why Howard won't sign an extension - more $ in new contract. Want a promise? That's technically illegal

What are you talking about???? Bynum is gonna be a free agent too and there is no guarantee he resigns either...The report is saying the same thing that was said last night...he is gonna go into free agency to sign a bigger contract

[DStebb716]

This league is a joke

[The Real JW]

So what's the earliest it becomes legal for Dwight to make a verbal promise to the Lakers?

Not until after the trade is finished? or fully in place?

[WeGetRing2012]

I think when the Magic officially start allowing the Lakers to talk to him. They haven't even talked to Dwight yet because it would be tampering.

You can't trust someone like Howard. He is a acting like a child.

Check out this gem:
http://www.clickorlando.com/sports/Howard-scared-of-being-traded-to-Rockets/-/1636890/15614536/-/12hbv7oz/-/index.html


The best team that Magic General Manager Rob Hennigan thinks he can deal a fair deal with is the Rockets. They have picks, they have young players and they can take some of the Magic's high end contracts.

Howard saying Thursday that he would resign with the Lakers has made him "scared" of going to Houston, but the trade looks like this:

The Magic send:
Dwight Howard, Jason Richardson, Chris Duhon

The Magic get:
Chandler Parsons (F), Jeremy Lamb (G), Terrence Jones (PF), Donatas Motienjunas (F), Royce White (PF), Kevin Martin (G), Toronto's draft pick 4-14th, Houston's draft pick
:lol They want to gut us out of pretty much every single one of our good players. Parsons + plus all three rookies and 2 lottery picks for a guy that says he will not stay in Houston. Damn...

[2010splash]

Reading comprehension fail on the part of so many. This doesn't mean he won't commit to the Lakers. It means he can sign a much more lucrative deal if he plays out his current contract and waits until the end of the season to sign a new one. Still changes nothing.

Brooklyn has an 80M payroll and worthless trade assets. Houston is definitely a threat but will have to accept Dwight leaving them with nothing.

LA has the best trade offer, the best city, the best market, the best weather, the best ownership, and the best team/supporting cast. It'll be the next Lakers dynasty and he knows it. He'll end up with the LA Lakers. It's the only team that makes sense.

Hennigan is retarded if he thinks he'll get all that.

[pegasus]

I think this means he's ready to be traded to the Lakers, but telling the fans and the media not to pressure him into signing that extension, because he won't.

I'm 90% sure he would sign a new contract next summer. Same goes for Bynum. It's not like he's a Laker for life for sure.

[G-Funk]

So what's the earliest it becomes legal for Dwight to make a verbal promise to the Lakers?

Fully in place

[TexasBloodMoney]

Just throwing this trade out there....Although it might not work because Houston would be taking on big contracts.

Magic get: Martin, Lamb, White, Morris, 2013 1st (via Rockets), 2015 1st (via rockets).

Rockets get: Howard, Smith, Turkoglu.

Hawks get: Patterson, T. Jones, Parsons, J-Rich, 2013 1st (via Raptors), 2013 2nd (via Rockets).

With a Houston lineup of:

Jeremy Lin
Courtney Lee?
Hedo Turkoglu
Josh Smith
Dwight Howard

This would be a way to keep D12 in town. But like I said, this trade might not work financially for Houston (unless they waive a few players?).

[chazzy]

Duh, there is a lot more money to be had in FA. His camp leaked that he would resign with LA at season's end and that's his preferred destination, not that he would sign an extension. LA has been confident all along that he would resign there, it's just a matter of the Magic choosing the right deal for themselves.

[bluechox2]

Those picks will be late first rounders... Useless
Cavs with Bynum are playoff team

[Batz]

People have to understand some things here.

First, ofcourse Howard will explore free agency. Every star says that and does. But he will most likely resign with the team, not counting crappy choices like Houston. If it's Lakers, yes - he will resign. If it was Brooklyn - duh. Atlanta? Yes.

Second, he's not walking away from that much money and choices. He simply won't. If it's a team like Houston, then yeah he'll run away. But like the teams mentioned beforehand, there's no way he leaves 25 million on the table and walks away from a contender altogether.

Third, Dwight Howard is not the reason why any of the deals in the rumour mill have been shut-down or at a halt. It's been Rob Hennigan and his reffusel to pull the trigger on any reasonable deal because he's delusional enough to think that he can convince Howard to trade with really no merit or reason to put forth to him or his camp.

So yeah, this report is stupid.

[General]

Maybe Howard is trying to scare the Rockets away by saying he won't extend with anyone, maybe Houston was hoping they'd convince him. He let it be known that he would be willing to stay in LA if they traded for him. He'd then do what Deron Williams did and sign 5 year contract after the season ended.

[G-Funk]

Ppl need to understand the NBA limbo

there is a difference between extend and re-sign

[tomtucker]

Reading comprehension fail on the part of so many. This doesn't mean he won't commit to the Lakers. It means he can sign a much more lucrative deal if he plays out his current contract and waits until the end of the season to sign a new one. Still changes nothing.

but this negro howard is a dumb fukk..............what makes sense to everyone else, don

[bmulls]

Since when is Andy V + 2 draft picks the best trade ??

:lol:

Parsons, White and 2 top 5 protected Rockets picks is a much better offer and Orlando could probably still squeeze a few more pieces out of them.

[Optimus Prime]

It's no different than what was reported this morning. It was said Dwight would be open to resigning in LA at year end. This report is saying he won't sign an extension right away, he would go to FA. He would, he would need to and then resign. Just like Deron Williams did.

There is literally no change in what was reported from this morning. The difference has always been that before, Dwight was saying he would leave LA. Now he is not saying that.

Thread should have ended here. niko nailed it. If he resigns now he can only get 2/3 years but if he waits to "test free agency" then he can resign for 5. Lakers just want a verbal commitment that he will resign after the year so they don't get screwed. Which he has given ...

Now Bynum ice fishing in Alaska ... that is interesting!

J Rudolph was on with Steven A yesterday. He very clearly spelled it out that Dwight would resign at year end, not extend so he did not lose the extra two years. VERY EXPLICITLY SAID THE EXACT WORDS.

This morning, Steven A is on with Mike and Mike, says I CANT BELIEVE DWIGHT CHANGED HIS MIND WHEN HE SAID YESTERDAY HE WOULD EXTEND. IM SO SICK OF HIM.

I mean wtf. I know Steven A sucks, but does he assume none of us remember what he says the next day?

[Dragonyeuw]

If I was the Lakers, I would stick with Bynum. This guy is way too much drama for what is a marginal improvement over Bynum. And frankly, Bynum hasn't reached his ceiling yet. I get the impression Howard is much closer to maxing out his ability than Bynum is.

Do you really trust Dwight with a verbal agreement?:kobe:

You're changing the topic. You can discuss your topic if you want. The fact is Dwight never said he'd sign an extension and the Lakers are not asking him too. It's a moot point. ESPN is trying to imply that the Lakers did or Dwight promised, neither of which are true. And the most ridiculous thing is the initial reports said as much on practically every radio show they have.

[StackzUp]

I hope this deal gets done and we all get to see Bynum on the Cavs. I am excited to see what kind of damage he can do there. Irving and Bynum sounds like a great combo.

I totally agree with you, Niko.

What people need to keep in mind is that all of this (the NBA and all that goes with it) is all paid for by advertising dollars. The NBA is one giant reality TV show, no different from The Batchelorette or Survivor. It's all paid for with ad dollars generated by ratings.

These ESPN guys are basically the paparazzi. They benefit from dragging this thing out and making up outlandish stories, so they can get TV time, radio time, and clicks on websites. The more outlandish the story, the more clicks it will get. Also, teams like the Lakers, and Knicks, who have the biggest followings, will get the most clicks. This is how they justify their jobs.

Case in point. A few weeks ago, when CP3 was offered an extention by the Clips, he understandably turned it down. He turned it down because the most the Clips could offer him at that time was 3 years. By waitng until July 2013, he can get a max 5 year deal from them. So of course he turned it down, everyone knew he would. But Bleacher Report immediately posts a story from one of these Bozo's that says "CP3 wants Knicks, turns down Clippers extention". That story had no basis is fact, but it probably generated like a million clicks. So the author (I think it was Butcher) could claim that his story generated a million clicks, and increases ad dollars for Bleacher Report. (The longer one stays on a website, the better in turms of advertising dollars).

These ESPN guys are all tools. Like I said, they are the paparazzi. They love this Dwight saga, and 95% of what they say is fabrictaed to help them justify their jobs.

Unfortunately both centers are clowns and getting them to re-sign is a huge gamble. That risk has made this process stay on the ground and I never really felt it had any chance of rising. Dwight to Atlanta or Brooklyn( somehow) are the only two real choices in NY opinion.
