Dwight Howard open to being a Bull

Just days after ripping his Orlando Magic teammates for their effort in a blowout loss to the New Orleans Hornets, Howard added MVP Derrick Rose's Bulls to his list of potential destinations.

"If I could play with Derrick right now and God wanted that to happen, it will happen," Howard told the Chicago Tribune. "It has nothing to do with me not wanting to play with Derrick Rose. I love him. That's my brother."

Media reports earlier this season speculated that adidas, which both Howard and Rose represent, would not want two of their stars in the same market. Howard shot down that idea.

"It has nothing to do with adidas," Howard said, according to the Tribune. "In fact, adidas would love that because me and Derrick have the same guy."

Seen as one of the contenders in the East, the Magic have lost three straight to fall to 12-8. They lost 93-67 to the now 4-16 Hornets.

"I look at guys and they don't look like they want to play," Howard said following the lopsided loss. "I told them at halftime, 'If you don't want to play, just stay in the locker room, because it don't make sense for a team who we should beat to just demolish us.' "

The 26-year-old Howard, who is averaging 20.2 points and 15.5 rebounds per game this season, has expressed interest in being traded by the Magic. He can opt out of his current deal after this season and has listed the Lakers, Nets, Mavericks, and recently, the Clippers as preferred teams.

There is no indication the Bulls are actively pursuing Howard. Rose has said this season that he won't recruit the big man either.

The Bulls are coming off a four-point loss to the Heat in Miami on Sunday but still have the best record in the East at 17-5.

Based on the fact that Howard has said he doesn't want to play for that team how can he complain about anything. Shut up until they trade you.

I heard an Orlando reporter recently say that the Magic aren't actively pursuing trades for Howard because they believe he will ultimately re-sign with them.

Doesn't surprise me. Howard needs to be the star on a team. He couldn't have that in Chicago, at least not completely.

Quite frankly, I'm not so sure the Bulls' think tank in Deerfield of V.P. of Operations John Paxson & G.M. Gar Forman have what the Magic are seeking in return. It's not just trading the likes of Joakim Noah, Carlos Boozer and a #1 pick that Orlando might want, but can the Bulls sign Dwight Howard to a long-term extension? My own gut feeling? No.

They wouldn't want Boozer but you can add Deng and Gibson to the list along with Noah. Bulls draft picks don't mean as much anymore but IIRC they still have the Bobcats pick.

Well, HOVA, I'm not sure how much $$$$ Taj Gibson is making, but I thought NBA deals have to be within 15% of the salaries the guys are earning. Besides, is Joakim Noah a drawing card to Orlando's brand new Amway Center? I doubt it.

Besides Rose (who is obviously untouchable), the Bobcats pick is their most valuable asset.

Here are the details about it:
Chicago Bulls: Receives 2012 first-round pick (lottery-protected in 2012, top-12 protected in 2013, top-10 in 2014, top-8 in 2015, unprotected in 2016) from the Charlotte Bobcats via the Tyrus Thomas trade on 2/18/10.

They should sit on this thing until 2016. I don't think the Bobcats will ever get out of the lottery.

Here's my offer:
Boozer
Taj
Butler
The Charlotte pick + an additional 1st round pick.

DB they say no to that. They would want Deng and Noah too. Bulls have enough to get it done but I doubt they'll do it.

They're going to have to get a 3rd team involved to get anything done I think.

I think the ONLY reason why Dwight Howard is still with the Magic right now is simple. They haven't liked what other teams around the NBA have offered. I get the feeling, despite what Dwight told the Trib's Vaughn McClure (?) yesterday, I think if Howard gets dealt, he's going to the Western Conference. He'll finish the year as a Maverick, a Clipper or a Laker.

The pressure is on the Magic to get something in return for Howard because he is not coming back (at least, it doesn't seem like it). So they have to take the best offer they can get. The Bulls do not have to give up everything, just something better than other teams he wants to play for. And, quite frankly, that shouldn't be too difficult for the Bulls to do.

The only thing the Bulls need to look at is being able to re-sign Howard after the trade.

He's with them because of the all star game. They know the offers for him won't get worse.

John Hollinger just said on ESPN that he's heard Orlando won't trade Dwight because their owner is 85 and doesn't want to rebuild again because he'll likely die soon. It must suck to be a Magic fan right now.

So he'll be dead and they won't have a player to put asses in the seats.

Keep Dwight? Not if the Magic could trade him to Chicago

By Ken Berger | NBA Insider

The Orlando Magic would like to seriously engage the Bulls in trade talks for Dwight Howard, but the All-Star center's apparent reluctance to make a long-term commitment to Chicago has all but killed the discussions, league sources told CBSSports.com.

The feeling among rival executives remains that the Magic seem intent on rolling the dice and keeping Howard for the rest of the season, hoping a long playoff run, emotional ties to Orlando and an extra year and $29 million they could offer would persuade him to stay beyond this season. But the move would be highly risky, given that Howard has refused to publicly commit to the Magic -- a stance that sources view as a strong sign that he'd leave as a free agent if he isn't traded.

"He's telling everyone he's leaving," one league source said Sunday.

Magic executives are said to be unimpressed with the assets Howard's three preferred teams could provide in a trade, prompting them to engage in a calculated campaign to expand the field of potential suitors beyond the Nets, Mavericks and Lakers. But the team that can make the strongest case for Orlando to depart from its risky strategy of holding onto Howard are the Bulls, who could offer 7-footer Omer Asik, Luol Deng and Carlos Boozer for Howard and Hedo Turkoglu, sources said. The Bulls also could offer a valuable first-round pick from Charlotte -- top-14 protected in this year's draft but but unprotected by 2016.

Such a scenario has gained no traction since Chicago is "not on his list," a person familiar with the situation said of Howard. Without assurances from Howard or his camp that he'd be willing to sign long-term with the Bulls, Chicago executives have exhibited no appetite for trade talks with the Magic. The two teams have spoken, but there's "no type of serious discussions" going on, a person familiar with the situation said.

The Bulls (34-9) also have the best record in the league and are "built for long-term success," said one person familiar with their strategy, making a trade for Howard a non-starter without his blessing. Bulls officials do, according to sources, privately have concerns about whether they have enough to get past Miami in a playoff series, but are content to take a shot at it with the group they have.

Efforts by Orlando to entice other teams that are willing to trade for Howard without a long-term commitment have been seriously hampered by the realization that such a team would only have Howard for about 25 games after Thursday's trade deadline -- not enough time to win him over to a city and team not currently on his list.

Magic CEO Alex Martins, who is spearheading the biggest personnel decision for Orlando since Shaquille O'Neal left as a free agent in 1996, told the Orlando Sentinel Sunday that the team has yet to make a decision on whether to trade him or not by Thursday's 3 p.m. ET deadline.

"We're not at the point where we're ready to answer that question yet," Martins said. "Sometime in the next four days we will be, but we're not at the point where we're ready to answer that question yet."

I think it says a lot about him that he wouldn't want to come to Chicago. He's tried to win the championship as the best player and has failed for 7 years. He needs to be #2.
