Where is Dwight Howard Really Going?

bureK · 05-30-11, 07:53 AM

I'd say he's staying

GTS925 · 05-30-11, 08:22 AM

He can go to the Bulls for Scalabrine or Gibson, Asik, Noah, Korver and some picks plus another player from the Magic.

bureK · 05-30-11, 08:26 AM

This trade would suck. Chicago loses too much. Reminds of the Melo trade.

IceSlipper · 05-30-11, 08:42 AM

stays put and the magic move heaven and earth to land cp3.. probably a sign n trade with the hornets..

kobstopa · 05-30-11, 08:56 AM

nah, i think he'll stay with a short extension in return orlando will beef up back court & at 3 to 4, & they will go after kris humpries from jersey(he is a free agent) & will go after Ty Lawson + kmart from Denver for Jason Richardson + Brandon Bass + future picks. Greg oden & yao ming are also on the gamble list for them. Raymond Felton is the ideal target but his contract is too big & denver will not take gilbert or hedo or nelson.

interesting thing is, the Heats too will go after greg oden off season.

Sfritts8 · 05-30-11, 08:56 AM

he should go to the Celtics, Rondo would help him.

AikenJ · 05-30-11, 09:20 AM

LAKERS. Nah, um, I honestly think he'll stay.

lunchbawks · 05-30-11, 09:21 AM

Why would Dwight ever leave? They built the entire team around him, he has a max contract, and will sign another.

No way they trade both centers for one center. Scalabrine has no trade value, he was brought in to be a player-coach cause he knows thibs defense. The magic already have 3 point shooters so Korver offers them no value.

I could see the trade being Boozer, Noah and the two late 1st round draft picks for Howard, then the Bulls would either purse J.R. Smith or Rip Hamilton (or possibly Ray Allen).

That being said, i dont think Magic will trade him to an Eastern Conference team, but i dont see him staying put. Hes unhappy and they are starting to slip from the Eastern Powerhouse ranks.

With the rumors getting ready to start as soon as the Finals are over, what are your guys thoughts on where Dwight will be going? He's from Atlanta....does he go there? Everyone says that the Lakers are a lock...kinda what Shaq did. now here is what I think can happen...Chicago trades Boozer and a #2 player to get Howard assuming he signs the extension....imagine the Rose/Howard possibilities.

You dont sound like you've been following this at all. He's from Atlanta, what? Rumors have started long ago. Not sure who this "everyone" is that thinks the Lakers are a lock because according to those rumors they fell out of his top 3 choices which are Orlando, Dallas and NJ.

LordVodka · 05-30-11, 10:35 AM

He will go to the Lakers.

Nikfrio · 05-30-11, 11:04 AM

Trade involving Gasol's soft ass and a few scrubs like Blake I'd imagine.

Sport_Fish · 05-30-11, 01:13 PM

He should go to Chicago !

ManBearPig · 05-30-11, 01:15 PM

I've always heard LA because he wants to be close to Hollywood and he wants to act and such...I would vote ORL or LA. No matter where he goes he's leaving millions on the table if he leaves and with the looming lockout it could be more. Stay in ORL and get paid is what he should do, but thats just me.

nastradamus · 05-30-11, 01:46 PM

He's staying, he is happy in Orlando.

Degenerate · 05-30-11, 05:01 PM

I think he ends up staying where he is.

NickDiaz209 · 05-30-11, 05:05 PM

he's gonna go to the Raptors...that's his best chance of finally getting a ring

Scorpion · 05-30-11, 06:47 PM

He can stay in Orlando, and he will never the championship

Muggy · 05-30-11, 07:37 PM

I dount he's coming to LA. I'm thinking he's out of orlando though.

TheMoneyShot · 05-30-11, 07:48 PM

Even though Howard should leave right now... he seems like he's one of those unique athletes... who stays until the end. Money doesn't matter... etc. Yes, I'm sure he'd like to be the highest paid... just like anyone else would... my point is... He's a team player and I don't think he makes the move.

Anyone who goes after him will give up a sh#$load. The Chicago theory sounds great... but you would have to give up a lot in order to get him. I think he'll weigh out a few options... but he'll end up staying in Orlando.

fast dont lie...fast dont lie

twelvejewelz · 05-30-11, 08:07 PM

He will probably go to the lakers, then cp3 to the knicks in a year. This is the new era of the NBA super teams.

rapidfire5 · 05-30-11, 08:42 PM

Toronto

Quake · 05-30-11, 08:49 PM

south beach after DAL wins it. 4 kings.

Buckeye · 05-30-11, 08:59 PM

Dwight is leaving Orlando, anyone who thinks he is happy with that team is crazy!

meader99 · 05-30-11, 09:27 PM

Love to see Chicago go get him. They need the superstar to pair with Rose. Open up the cupboard and let Orlando take what they want. Boozer, Noah, Gibson, Watson, Brewer draft picks......nothing, except for Rose is off limits. Oh yeah, make em throw Jason Richardson in too.

GAMBLOR777 · 05-30-11, 11:31 PM

Dwight doesn't need to go anywhere.

Great coach, great fan base...the rest will come.

Bradyd · 05-30-11, 11:35 PM

He might stay in Orlando.. Boston is a possibility. But he certainly won't be going to LA, as that would require them trade Bynum.

dmiles1021 · 05-30-11, 11:38 PM

he really needs to go to boston...him rondo green have a great future together...CMON DWIGHT

JOHON8 · 05-30-11, 11:49 PM

He should go to OKC, Durant/Westbrook/Dwight = the big 3 from Oklahoma. Perkins looks like he's had a heart attack after every game he should have stayed at Boston.

TGHMak · 05-31-11, 03:04 AM

Apparently his preferences are Orlando, Dallas, NJ, Lakers. I don't see him leaving Orlando unless they give him a good reason next season.

daimoshokage · 05-31-11, 06:28 AM

Miami.. He will take the less.. He will take the mid-level exception..

bureK · 05-31-11, 01:20 PM

Miami

NJ should get rid of Lopez then. I really like the Thunder idea tough but the price for KD and RW will grow so they might not afford Howard

You're right about the prices going up, maybe NJ is right for him. They got one of the best PG's waiting for him there and a Russian billionaire trying to build a dynasty.
