Dwight Howard Saga

[Adam]

this generation of "superstars" (Dwight, Lebron, Melo, Amare) seem to have the shittiest priorities and motivation of any group that has ever gone through the NBA... i can't grasp what would be going through these guys' heads... im very grateful of how humble and team-oriented irving is... he is literally the complete opposite of the knuckleheads that came through before him.

Its strange that even allen iverson must think these guys have messed up their priorities

Now he is. Let's see for how long--don't forget--LeBron is his "Big Brother" and "Fam"

Lebron is considered a "Big Brother" by a ton of rookies/college players. He is heavily involved with the Kentucky and Ohio State programs alone. Not sure why this fact upsets some people.

Allen Iverson just wanted the ball.

Zach Lowe:I now have Heat fans suggesting MIA could use amnesty on Bosh to sign Howard. Thursday at 3 p.m., please come soon.about 22 minutes ago

Hmm...

If Howard goes to the Heat, I think it solidifies the fact that the new age of basketball is a joke. No one wants rivalries, because everyone is buddy buddy.

This is saddening. OKC will still match up very well against them, though.

OKC doesn't have the low-post scoring to give Miami any serious problems.

Hmm...

It would never happen, but it would make so much more sense to dump Wade.

If the Heat got Dwight and lost Bosh, it would be a standstill move. Bosh is alot more important to the Heat than people think. He is the only big that can stretch the floor and it is very important for them. If they got Dwight, it would just clog the paint even more and that is all Wade and James rely on, going to the paint. I don't know if it would even be a good move for the Heat. They wouldn't even have a powerforward, because they would have to lose Udonis as well in a trade.

RealGM guy, not sure how reliable he is.

RT @MisterRudolph: Sources say Magic, Warriors & Hornets are discussing 3-team deal that would send Ellis and others to Magic.

Really gonna enjoy watching Sessions wave off lobs to Dwight, you guys. #trollhard

The Hornets (NBA front office) helping make a deal possible that keeps Dwight in Orlando would be interesting.

Howard has serious interest in singing with the Clippers or Heat this offseason. Doesn't want to be traded... Cap issues with both teams but he has real interest. - Per Mannix

How can Miaimi get him?

I repeat: Don't expect Dwight Howard-obsessed Warriors owner Joe Lacob to help Orlando keep Dwight Howard in any way. That is all.

Details of Rumored Trade

Three-Team Ellis To Magic Trade Being Discussed
Mar 12, 2012 2:48 PM EDT


The Magic, Warriors and Hornets are in discussions on a three-team trade, two league sources confirmed.

Monta Ellis, Andris Biedrins and Dorell Wright would be sent by the Warriors to the Magic.

Ryan Anderson, J.J. Redick, Hedo Turkoglu and Quentin Richardson would be the main outgoing pieces from Orlando.

The Hornets' exact involvement is unclear, but believed to be centered around Chris Kaman.

No trade is imminent but talks are ongoing say sources.

I would think the Warriors would have to be getting picks as well. I like Ryan Anderson but I don't think he is worth Ellis straight up especially with the Warriors acquiring Turkoglu. Redick and Richardson are no more then bench players.

On the other hand if the Magic do trade unprotected pick(s) to the Warriors for Ellis and Howard leaves then this trade works out great for the Warriors.
