Teletopez Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) For everything Dwight Howard has told the Orlando Magic management about bringing him a stronger supporting cast, about the possibility that he could still sign an extension, it has turned into a complete ruse – a misdirection play on his eventual signing with the Brooklyn-bound New Jersey Nets, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. With the combination of Howard’s disdain for confrontation, desire to be liked and a pragmatic belief that a trade is no longer in his best long-term interests, Howard has created an illusion with the Magic that there are factors that could cause him to sign an extension with the team. “Dwight’s gone, and [Magic CEO] Alex Martins is the only person who doesn’t believe that,” a league source with knowledge of Howard’s intentions told Yahoo! Sports. Why would Howard push for a trade now? So the Nets have to give up Brook Lopez and draft picks? For Howard, he can finish the season with the Magic, make the playoffs and leave on July 1 for a contract with the Nets, who can offer him a four-year, $81 million deal – about $28 million less than what the Magic can give him in a fifth year. Adidas wants him in a major market – New York or Los Angeles – and this scenario promises him the highest possible value on his upcoming renegotiation on his shoe deal.Yahoo!

DunkinDerozan Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 If I were them i'd get over not being able to keep Dwight and just trade the asshole already. They need to quit sucking his dick and get on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to quit sucking his dick and get on with it.I will say, it's a very tough thing to get over, for both the team and the fans. Whatever happens, it's not easy to recover from losing this big a superstar. It's a risky move, but they're just looking for any indication in the next two days that he would consider staying.
