I don't know what he's really thinking right now...The situation with the Magic is beyond repair, and many feel Dwight Howard was the REAL reason why head coach Stan Van Gundy got fired in Orlando. The Bulls supposedly have the kind of offer the Magic would actually want in return, and Howard wants nothing to do with Chicago. He also wants nothing to do with the Lakers, Rockets or other teams. Now, even the Nets, complete with a brand, spanking new arena called the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, new logos, uniforms, etc., don't want the guy?

I don't know if he wants to be "THE MAN", play for an NBA title contender which Brooklyn isn't right now, or what. To me, I'm starting to wonder if Howard is basketballspeak for Barry Sanders and just walks away from the game. This is ridiculous what's happening!

Why wouldnt any team go after him as an "all-in" rent-a-player for 2012-2013. I wouldn't mind the Bulls making a push and making a run when Derrick is back near the playoffs.

Send the Magic Deng, Noah, Charlotte pick, and the euro guy they drafted a year or two ago that is still overseas, plus extra picks

Bulls get Hedo and Howard.

It gives the Bulls flexibility in the future once Howard is off the books, and it gives the Magic some players and picks.

I think the Bulls would like to make a move along those lines, but I don't think Howard has budged one bit on Chicago or the L.A. Lakers for that matter. That's the problem.

Howard doesn't have a say where he can be traded, he only has a say on where he will sign an extension. Reading is a skill. Ill go report myself now....

Howard is a prissy little, pouty ass bitch. What a total douchebag.

So, what is he going to do now, look himself in his room and threaten not to come out until someone trades him to where he wants to go?

He's a exposed himself to be a liar, buffoon, moron and a little douchey-bitch. He deserves the worst in NBA trade terms.

Lakers and Orlando officials meeting face to face...

Apparently the Lakers want commitment f/ Dwight for long term deal.

So the two best centers in the game are gonna be swapped for each other.

I would love to see the Bulls get in on something big. They can still amnesty Boozer and find a way to get rid of Hamilton's expiring contract and they would be well under the cap and still have a $5M trade exception. I just want them to do something bold but GarPax is extremely conservative.

Why is there no salary listed on that chart for Derrick?

Don't see it happening this year... Might as well pick a sub plot to follow because the main theme will be how bad the Bulls are.

I wondered the same thing. I believe it may have something to do with his new contract going into effect this year. Maybe they couldn't crunch the numbers until the new cap came out. It should be around $17M though.

If they amnesty Carlos Boozer, it won't be until next summer when the Bulls cut their losses.

As for Dwight Howard and the Lakers...there's another problem. Andrew Bynum doesn't want to sign a long-term in Orlando either. How do they make this trade if Howard doesn't want to go to Los Angeles and Bynum wants to avoid Orlando like the plague?

Let's just say that Bynum is traded for Howard and at least one of the two won't sign an extension. If the Bulls wait to amnesty Boozer until then, all of the sudden they have the money to sign Bynum or Howard. I would think Bynum wouldn't mind playing in Chicago with Derrick Rose.

I think the Magic want to trade Hedu Torkoglu and his bad contract in addition to Dwight Howard. I don't think that's going to work...

I highly doubt either trade happens without both extensions in place. Its too much to give up.

Either way, I think it would be smart of the Bulls to not amnesty Boozer until there is a free agent on the market that they could pony up the cash for.

I agree, since Im not the one paying him. I wouldnt be upset if they amnestied him today though, just to know that contract is off the books. One less thing to worry about.

ESPN/ABC's Chris Broussard, RealGM.com & other sources report that Dwight Howard is now willing to sign an extension with the Lakers. However, the latest snag involves Andrew Bynum. The latest rumor has the Cavaliers becoming a third team in a rumored Howard trade involving the Magic & Lakers with Bynum ending up in Cleveland to play alongside NBA Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving instead of Bynum going to Orlando. The snag? Bynum doesn't want to sign an extension in Cleveland either. Now what?

I am also sad to report I am not Dwight's ajent or involved with the front office of the Orlando Magic. I will try to pull some strings to get this taken care of but I can't promise anything.

This is just becoming silly. If the Magic are not going to trade him, I don't think there's any chance Howard suits up next year at all for Orlando. He will probably have a setback with his "back injury". The Rockets are willing to trade for Dwight even if he won't sign the extension, and they are willing to take a decent chunk of Orlando's bad contracts. The Magic should make this deal today. Fuck Howard.

Quote:
Agent: Howard won't sign extension

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."

A source said the Nets never insisted Howard commit to an extension as a prerequisite for acquiring him, which Nets president Billy King confirmed in a text message.

Howard told the Magic, according to GM Rob Hennigan, he would like to be traded to the Brooklyn Nets above any other team. The Nets made concerted efforts to strike a deal for Howard earlier this month, but were forced to stop when the Charlotte Bobcats threatened to sign their restricted free agent center, Brook Lopez, to an offer sheet.

Lopez was expected to be a key part of any deal with the Magic and signing an offer sheet could have preempted including him in any deal, depending on the terms of the offer sheet. The Nets then signed Lopez to a four-year, $61 million deal.

Since then, the Lakers have become the primary suitor for Howard, recruiting both the Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers as potential third-team participants to deliver the salary relief, draft picks and young talent that Orlando is seeking in return for their All-Star center.

The longest Howard could sign an extension, according to ESPN Insider's Larry Coon, would be two years if he signed with Orlando and was traded, or three years if he signed after being traded.

If he waits until his current deal expires, Howard would be eligible to sign a new five-year deal for as much as $116.9 million.
