Dwight Howard: "Trade me to Brooklyn"

[Rizzo]

Numerous reports have come out in which Dwight sat down with the new GM of the Magic and has told him he wants to be dealt to the Brooklyn Nets. It remains to be seen of the Magic GM will in fact grant him his wish, but I can't help but dislike Dwight more and more as this thing goes on.

If he did not want to stay a member of the Magic, he should never have opted in to the final season of his contract. He use the excuse that he is too loyal, but now your just holding the franchise hostage. I'm sure that type of loyalty doesn't help anyone involved.

ESPN also reported that Dwight and his agent are asking the NBAPA to file a suit against the Magic to void this final year of his contract, that he opted in to, and allow him to become a FA now. Is this guy for real?

What a complete shizz show. Worse than The Decision? I think so. I have no time for primadonna schmucks and their one team trade lists. Orlando should just tell him to take a hike, or trade him to some other team. Like the Shanghai Sharks. I suspect he's getting really poor advice form someone, because he's really too dim to think this crap up on his own.

Yeah, he's starting make Lebron look normal, which is insane.

Just pathetic. Dude doesn't deserve any more thought...

I wish the NBA would make some sort of franchise tag so that for guys like this, a team could trade for him and force him to stay at least another year because he's tagged. The NBA is plagued with these guys and their trade demands that it is killing the sport for small market teams.

Chance to Brooklyn via a trade has all but vanished now?

That's what was originally thought, but talks are heating up for him to still go to Brooklyn. He would be dealt for Lopez, Humphries, MarShon Brooks and Brooklyn's first round picks in 2013, 2015 and 2017.

Imagine a lineup of Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Gerald Green, Gerald Wallace and Dwight Howard?

Yeah as much as Joe Johnson is being overpaid, they really didn't give a ton of value for him. Still plenty of assets to move to acquire Howard if its logistical. Seems like people now think it is, or still is.

Kind of meh if you ask me especially when you consider the Nets could be a perennial playoff contender.

Sounds like Howard is heading to the Lakers. Pretty big deal with Bynum and Jason Richardson to the Sixers, Iguodala to Denver, and assorted pieces (Afflalo, Harrington, Vucevic, Harkless, and picks) to Orlando.
