Miami would have o give up Wade or LeBron for Dwight. No way Orlando accepts anything else from them.

Dwight will be a free agent though. So Orlando have no choice. Apparantly he wants to go to Heat or Clippers.

I think they'd also accept something like Bosh+role player+draft picks. You can rebuild around Bosh, sort of.

Still, if I had to bet I'd say the Magic hold onto him.

lol D12 didn't want to go to Chicago cos he wanted to be 'the man' but he would be willing to go to the heat and be their 2nd/3rd best player ?

can someone please link me to these trade rumours saying Howard moving to Miami because I just don't see that happening at all.

I really don't think the Magic want Bosh and a role player. Essentially that is the Raptors whilst Bosh were there, and even then he is older and therefore further on the decline.

Dwight isn't handling this too well, IMO.

I don't think either have any cap room?

I'm not so sure, what tradeable role players do Miami have? Battier and Chalmers have some value but I'm not sure those two plus Bosh and some draft picks (they'll be low picks) would add up to near enough one Dwight Howard. Remember as well, Toronto tried to build around Bosh but they were never that good.

No. He has stressed a desire to go to either Dallas or New Jersey as his top two destinations, with the Lakers as his third. AFAIK there have been no rumours circling about dwight joining the heat.

The reason he's stated that he doesn't want to join the Bulls is apparently it's too cold in Chicago. Obviously it's not cold in NJ though :rolleyes:

You do realise the Nets are moving to New York? Whilst the weather will be the same, as it's barely any distance.. it's quite something to live there.

I can totally understand why someone would rather live in New York than Chicago.

Yeah I know they're becoming the Brooklyn Nets after this season. All I was stating is that if climate was truly the issue for going to Chicago, he wouldn't be considering NJ/Brooklyn either.

I hate this whole idea that it's up to the rest of the team to make sure a star wins a championship. Instead of moping and whining Dwight should be in the gym working on his offense.

dont know if everyone has espn or league pass but if you want to watch nba on youtube this guy uploads full games, he covered all of the all star weekend events in full and hd.. lately he only posts the first quarter and then gives you a download link for the rest of the game but his channel still has the best nba content i've found search youtube for "kumho4life"

"theNBAaction" is another good channel this channel uploads the full 4th quarter of games in 720p

enjoy

Orlando want to trade with Chicago the most. Makes sense - Chicago can give the most in return.

If Howard says he's open to Chicago, the deal will be done. Rose, the best PG, with Howard, the best C. Best PG - C combination since Magic and Kareem? Maybe.

Damn, how much Iwant this to happen. If Howard is serious about winning championships, he'll sign.

Btw, the Heat deal is not happening. Heat would have to give up either Lebron or Wade, which isn't happening. Bosh + some nobodies isn't going to satisfy Orlando.

I've been wondering this all week, if you were offered Dwight for Blake straight up, and were guaranteed Dwight signed an extension, would you pull the trigger?

Without any hesitation.

Supposedly Magic are trying to entice Howard to resign by letting him decide whether Van Gundy and Otis Smith should be fired or not at the end of the season....this getting ridiculous. What kind of weird player-coach relationship is that if the player has the coach's job in his hands.
